Hi Henrietta,
Oh my yes, we are certainly on the same page with the needles, gardening
tools and tape and wrapping paper. Would you believe that just about every
time I go out with my cane instead of my guide dog I leave the cane lying
on the floor somewhere. I often have kind friends remind me "hey Cathy,
don't forget your cane." I never forget my dog though!
Anyhow, you are quite the humorous one! thanks for the smile today!
Cathy

Cathy what if we just tie a string to our noes and then to the gardening
tool? I wonder if it would stay put then. Surely isn't us moving, must be
the tools? lol
seriously, I try wearing an apron and putting the tools in it each time. But
I do have to remember to put those little guys in there. Of course, I am
just getting over the trama of Christmas wrapping. I work on a small table.
How can the tape, knife and tags get away from me like they do?
