Well, Verizon is screwing up my newsgroupd again! I hate having to use
Google. Oh well..that's the way it is. Lucille, we are having a
similar day. I bought a new quilt yesterday, and toiday have baked
three dozen cookies for a Cancer Fund-raising Bake & Craft Sale. I
donated a dozen or so knitted dishcloths a couple of days back, so my
good deeds are done for now. LOL
