Thank You

Thanks you all so much for your anniversary wishes for me and DH and for the kind comments you made about my little pillow ornament! I am very proud of it. DH and I had a wonderful time last night getting out on our own for some dinner and dessert.

I hesitate to put this is an entry, but I will go ahead and mention it. My father-in-law passed away yesterday evening as a result of deterioration due to early-onset Alzheimer's disease. We are grieving but were expecting this to happen weeks ago so it isn't any kind of a surprise. We know that he is finally at peace.

But, so as not to leave you with sad news, I am planning to make it to JoAnns today to look for pretty pins for my Monthly Finishing Challenge pinkeep.

Congratulations on becoming a Catholic next week. I'm a Catholic and sing in the church choir every Sunday. It's a nice place to be!!!

Happy Anniversary!

Congrats also on becoming a Catholic. I made that very same journey almost 25 years ago. It's a huge responsiblity and a definite sense of accomplishment to not be kneeling when you should be sitting/standing! : ); March 17, 2008 at 4:40 PM
