How wonderful for that to happen. I hope they had a good time . So how have you been?
HI - Anyone out there?
Hope all are doing well. Even with all this heat. Finally a break here in the weather. Well somewhat of a one.
Only in the 80's but no breeze and is it humid. Now it appears it wants to build up to a rain. How is it for any of you?
Heard from sailor - he is relaxing a for a short while. His area on the ship passed the inspection - so he can breath easy. Maybe get a chance to climb Mt. Fugi too. If that happens I'll post some pics.
Send some gossip - havea a good day hugs
Thanks - had to get more ribbon and gold thread
Now we can finish the main body of it. Tomorrow will be cutting the fringe to the right length - putting a movie for that. It will take two movies to completely put every piece of fringe on. This time - promise to take a picture and post it.
Let you know if he gets to climb. :)
Your dinner cruise sounded lovely :)
