I took my laptop along, and I was reading through your old posts. Boy was I surprised when I saw the first picture of the carpenter! It was like I knew a secret, because you didn't know who he was yet at that time of the post. My story is similar, so that was really a delight.<br />I'd have emailed this if I had 'default email client' installed, but maybe Chickie will help me with that. Anyway, I don't suppose many will see this message anyway.<br />Blessings to you and yours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-32368358054032884762010-12-16T23:40:54.650-05:002010-12-16T23:40:54.650-05:00Vee, it has been a hard month for you, but hold on...Vee, it has been a hard month for you, but hold on...and hold onto joy.... my prayers are with you and your parents in this time of change.Mary Ann https://www.blogger.com/profile/08136211832739830031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-17706584005854372602010-12-16T21:42:38.617-05:002010-12-16T21:42:38.617-05:00Sweet Vee - I know your feelings must be running r...Sweet Vee - I know your feelings must be running rampant and memories flooding through your mind.
