it's been awhile but i DO follow you still and continue to marvel at your gorgeous creations.

things good here. redecorating my house. had it on the market but then took it off. i love it too much to leave, not to mention my neighborhood and neighbors. i have a new grandson, liam, he's now 6 months and gorgeous (but, of course LOL). jade is in 3rd grade and cheerleading. she's a straight A student and loves the cheerleading. all else is good.

It is hard for me to complain about my toe when others like you are having it so much harder, hope the time passes quickly for you until you can get that cast off; September 10, 2014 at 8:12 AM
