Maria I am saying my "get mail" prayers for you. Did you know that I couldn't even tell you what my mailman looked like until Dec.12th! I didn't realize how important his job is. Before email and text messaging this is the way it was... seems like such a long time ago...
This is going to be a great week!
Maria, I have been thinking about you today. Sending up BIG birthday wishes to your son. I know you are looking forward to a "double" celebration! I am going to read through and get caught up...I have missed you all...think I have gotten "moved in" to the new computer now! Oh, my daughter got engaged this weekend! Looks like we will be planning a Dec. wedding! How many emotions can we feel at one time? I'm there! lol
