If you are seriously thinking of moving to Facebook and Maria is already there, then I am willing to give it a try. Things will not be the same around here without BOTH of you. Sooooooo....
let's do it!!!!!!!! :-D
Let me know when you are set up and I will do the same.
it sounds like you're busy but productive which is good, i think. as for me and my family, all is well. will's basketball team is in the NIT tournament this week, so i'm hoping he plays well and has a great time. ♥
thank you, kate. i still check in here everyday, but i spend more time on facebook. i've also been getting my life together and writing. hoping to post another blog soon, but only when my other projects are further along. ;)
hey kate! things are going really well, and i am grateful. a lot of good things have been happening behind the scenes which i can't share yet, but i'm hoping to spread the love soon. ;) ♥
Awww... I hope Addison had a great birthday ("Addison"....I like that name a lot. )
I'm looking forward to getting to know you better (though, I do have a really nice and positive sense of you from seeing your comments on Maria's blog posts and such).
Thank You ♥ for your photo comment Schatje. Much appreciated and believe me, it took YEARS of practise to get mine to be able to sit that still and sometimes it takes unrepeatable threats to make it happen. LOL ;)
If it was a cold and rainy work filled day then it must have been a Saturday when you read Keisha's message. I imagine even you, one of the most hard working people I know, rests on a Sunday, right? ;)
I got this from a special friend, the Polar Bear and with his permission I needed to share it with one or two special peoplewho are in my heart. You are one of them Kate and this is something I wish for you my friend - always.
Thank You ♥ Kate for my birthday wishes. It touches me that you remembered and dropped by. Only wish it could have been in the flesh with a huge, huge hug. Still, mentally I am sending you it now. ;-) ♥ Hugggs xx ~*~
