[Nfb-krafters-korner] wreaths, I made a pine cone one last year

Sat Dec 31 09:02:22 UTC 2011

Joyce,

I was just reading some of my old posts and found this one.  I guess I 
didn't read the entire post or I would have known you were sick.  Well, 
that's on me.  so, I guess you can disregard the post I just sent, except 
for the part where I said I hope you get well soon.  I do wish that for you. 
My husband Adam has had bronchitis twice since Thanksgiving and he has 
Asthma, too.  It took him a long time to get well but he finally did.  He 
was finally able to hold our 8-month-old nephew in early December and at 
christmas.  I'm sure your prince and princesses want you well.  I hope you 
were able to finish the mittens.  If you finished them, I'm sure your little 
princess loved them.  Take care.  I look forward to hearing your voice in 
the safety pin beading class in January.

Regards,

Denise
