It was great meeting you face to face.. since the last time you came to visit I was alseep in the hospital!!! (She brought me flowers) I love to be a help.. anytime anywhere.. anytime.. just ask.. I just have the horrible habit of taking over.. sorry.. The clothing exchange was a HUGE success!! Thank you for hosting!!! Linda

I am so sorry I missed it. I found out at the last minute that my grandson was having a birthday party, and then my oldest informs me that he was graduating from paramedic class. Geeezzzz, I really wanted to meet everyone. Does anyone know if there are more clothing exchanges coming up. I figure I may be in need of some clothes in about a couple weeks and I have quite a few 22's to get rid of. Let me know. I so much wanted to come, but, I have to be there for my kids too. Hope to meet you all soon. Beth

Thanks for the cookie recipe! I can't wait to make it!! Your an excellent host dear!! Sam

Tammy, Thanks for hosting the great clothing exchange. I had a wonderful time and got to talk to a lot of people. I know that kind of thing can be a lot of work, but you made it look easy. Cindy
