It sounds to me like everyone is enjoying Christmas in August!!! Just got a card w/pics in the mail from my cousin in AZ. She sent me copies of the last pictures that my Mom and I took together before she passed away in July. Sure caught me off guard and the tears flowed--why does this greif have to hit you so unexpectedly? Oh Well guess I'd better find myself a new pattern to start a quilt that will help. Thanks for letting me unload.
