Irishrose-please PM me your address.I would like to send you 2 pkgs of needles in 2 different sizes. These are the ones I mentioned on here. They were made in germany.The brand is SCHMETZ I'm not sure of the sizes.They are long though.Well ladies I have lost a whopping 4 lbs. Thanks for all the help. I know that's no where near what alot have lost. But that's fine with me.I went to a bbq for my grand=daughters graduation yesterday.I didn't blow it to bad. We were just across the road from my home. When we got home about 6pm It started storming. I guess by now everyone knows about the tornado that hit Joplin Mo. That is about 100 miles from here.As that storm passed through it was very severe.We are fine but the poor folks in Joplin. God be with them.Hope everyone will keep those poor people in their prayers.Gotta go walk my 2 acres. Mary
