I\u2019m going to ask a stupid question. Why would one want a cow? I mean, sweaters come with them already. I would prefer the other project and add a day of the week like a Saturday where I have more time. The rest of the week is just too busy.<div><br></div><div> <br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><div>Ericka Nelson</div><div>K E9DYN</div><div>Proud general class him license owner</div></div><div dir="ltr"><br><blockquote type="cite">On Feb 12, 2026, at 12:52\u202fPM, JOANNE JORDAN via NFB-Blind-Crafters <nfb-blind-crafters@nfbnet.org> wrote:<br><br></blockquote></div><blockquote type="cite"><div dir="ltr">\ufeffYes Tracy!
