I am Thankful that I have made it to 50 and have helped a few people along the way
I’d like to help more and I am going to make that a focus for 2009. I had a great time at the CASA auction, best of all was seeing a quilt leave my pile and go to a good home! I’ve been traveling, reading and contemplating and I left my camera with my daughter…
