 WA> It is so nice to know that I have been missed!  :-)
    Well nice people are always missed.... BTW what is your address
    again... and do you have a phone.... I put together some stuff for
    you and now I can't find it.... I thought you probably need
    something to keep your self quiet but busy.

    Yes miscrowaves are great inventions.... I still don't have one...
    have thought about getting one though... I am glad you are able to
    to live alone but I bet there are times you enjoy the company... I
    know sometimes I just crave the quiet and wish I were alone... I am
    glad you have friends to help out.  They can be a life saver.  I
    have a couple of friends here who have gone out of their ways to
    help me with babysitting of my five year old.  Now that Dad has
    moved to Sioux Falls it is a little to do everything for this family
    myself.

    Sounds really nice.  Most of the pillows I have done have always
    just been a complete pillow.  I have always wanted to try and make
    one that is a slip cover and comes off forwashing.  I am glad you
    mom was able to make it for you?  I bet it will look simply
    wonderful when it is done.
    
    Take care and get well soon!
