Mari thank you so much for the lovely card and your note.We all have different talents and my friends do not have the same as me. BUT we are managing!
Home care comes in once a day for about 1/2 an hour. Today they made me toast and tea. Yesterday I had a shower, We are very fortunate in that our home is totally set uo for me with 2 shower chairs and a drive-in shower.I' m able to give myself my own needle. Then Geoff takes care of the rest.
Again thank you of the thoughtfulness of your e-mails and card.

You should also make friends with "Dale Kathryn Battison" cause she also has a dog named Rosie (Chocolate Rosie to be exact) LOL! Thanks for accepting the friend invitation. Although, I am not Anne, you can call me Vic if you want to. hahah! Don't feel guilty at all about this as I think "Anne" is a wonderful name! Have a great Wednesday.

Hi Mari. Just downloaded and printed your Snowman Needlebook pattern. Here I go again. I just finished 10 Pears, and 5 Partridges. And said that's enough. I've got a sickness. Now I can't wait to get started on your Snowman....Maybe tonight. Thanks again. Anne

You are sooooo blessed to be able to work with creating patterns! I love my job (occupational therapy at a school), but was recently laid off and soooo wish I could make a change and do something in the art field. I am praying! Feel free to add anything to the "spoonful of humor" discussion - it's more like a running funny pages. Sometimes you just need a little diversion, and a chance to giggle or let out a good belly bouncin' laugh! LOL! Obviously, you can see I'm a master at diversion, hahahah! And need quite alot of it as well!
I am going to look over your page a little more now, have a nice Friday.

That's my way of dealing with stress. I like to make people laugh. Last December when I had carotid surgery before Christmas I wore a santa hat with snow balls hanging off of it to surgery. Doc cracked up. This time I will draw a smiley face on my tummy ... surprise :o)
