I don't BC> mean to infer, either, that John has done this. I ended up being the BC> sole support of myself and four children (and after we divorced, five BC> children) many, many times. I know you are estatic. Don't you know it! Isn't it terrible being married to a kid.... Or at least that is what they act like some times.... well he did do it the first three years we were married.... 7 jobs in that time... BC> How wonderful! I know it is going to mean a whole lot to him, also. BC> And it is going to be better for you to be able to see him more BC> often. And he will not feel so cut off from his family. It makes me cry sometimes to think about all the firsts I have missed because of the miles seperating us. We have not told him we are moving because we are not sure if he'll understand and we don't want to upset him yet as to time frame. June is such a long way off for Children. BC> Take care during the move and try not to overdo, which is easily done BC> in that circumstance. And keep us up to date. We'll all be thinking BC> of you. Over due.... That is me..... I am an over acheiver of the worst kind. I already have my bedroom gone through. I have gotten seven or eight boxes already packed up. Four of them books and three fabric as well as cross stitch patterns..... I have even thrown out stuff and even gotten a box of stuff to sell in a rumage sell.... Oh well more to do. I want to be ready to go by May and then hopefully we will have a house then to start moving stuff too. I have plans already for two samplers to do and some curtains and some kitchen crafts. So I am going to busy this summer and spring. How are you bridges going? Did you finish your blue sampler yet? Well I should get going. I have more mail to read... Take care and we will keep you posted as to where we are going and when.... BC> TTYL, BC> Beverly BC> ... So many projects, so little time...

Thank you bunchs for giving me a taste of spring...:) The flowers are such a bright spot. Now I have to get me some stones. As much snow as we have here on the ground our flowers won't be coming before May this year. THe candy hearts were such a welcome surprise. We do not have them any more in our area so I will enjoy each little bite. What scrumtious candy.... the Chocolate praline was delightful and I had to share it with my little boy. We also enjoyed the chips and salsa... Went well as an afternoon snack. I love Mexican things as well as food..... Well frankly I love to eat. Anyway thank you for my lovely surprise and may you have a wonderful spring!

Hello Secret! Another card from you today! You really do such lovely work! I love the little magnet that you included and I have the confetti put up with the rest of the confetti you have sent. I am glad that the things I have been saying about you have pleased you, because you have certainly pleased me! Oh, yes, I am not terribly fond of PM. I am more into fantasy (castles, fairies, etc) and quilt-looking graphs. I have lots of the fantasy, but have yet to start getting the ones that are cross stitch versions of quilt blocks.
