 WB> I'm very blessed.  I had been feeling so bad and now I'm like
 WB> a prisoner set free.
    I bet so... I am very happy for you!
    
 WB> I was having trouble sleeping enough hours a night.  Seems that
 WB> after I was healed, I got so excited about the things I was
 WB> going to be able to do the next day, my mind would not shut up
 WB> and let me go to sleep, and then I kept waking up and not being
 WB> able to go back to sleep for sheer excitement.    That's
 WB> past now.  I got exhausted and had to train myself to sleep more.
    Sometimes change is good.  It is hard to retrain our bodies to do
    what we want them to.  I know what you mean about not being ablt to
    sleep because of excitment and planning and new things going on in
    your life.  I am expereincing that right now.
 WB> Thanks, I sure will.  When's John's birthday?  You'll have to
 WB> remember to wish him a happy for us, too.
    John's birthday is the 31st of July and he will be forty.  We are
    planning a huge family get to Together....
 WB> That's great!  Have you thought about maybe making flower girl
 WB> baskets to coordinate with them?  Most people love a matched set
 WB> but you could also sell those separately if they wanted it that
 WB> way.  Just an idea which popped into my head while I was reading
 WB> your post.
    Thanks for the wonderful idea..... I think I can do that.  I
    wonder... what it would cost for small wicker or wire baskets.  I
    wish I could weave my own.  My sister in law makes baskets but I
    don't think I could get her to make the type I would want for
    something like this.  It would cost a lot of money for the kinds she
    makes.
    
 WB> I've still got that teddy bear 9-patch quilt to work on, plus I
 WB> have been doing some plastic canvas things I had patterns and
 WB> kits for.  I like to do family presents in advance.  Then they're
 WB> out of the way.  But I'm so slow, still!
    Take your time.... things can wait.... People can't
    
 WB> I crocheted a lot of cotton dishcloths and trivets and I'm tired
 WB> of them but want a couple more dishcloths for myself, so I'll be
 WB> doing a couple more.  My SIL loves hers!  I have fabric to make
 WB> a quilt for Tom, and also to make a bear for a friend of mine, so
 WB> those are sitting here too.  My rubber stamps are calling my name!
 WB> Oh, there's plenty to do, including crafting things to fill up
 WB> Tom's tummy after a hard day at work!  
    I thought that's what I heard come wafting over the land...... Tom's
    tummy..... :)  Isn't it terrible when we have some many tings we
    want to do and not enought time to do it in.
    
    Have fun!
