[Nfb-krafters-korner] quick intro

[Lisamaria Martinez]

Ramona and Meg,

I won't be coming into dallas until Saturday evening but I will try
very hard to come to the meeting.

Meg, I too think I will crochet and crochet and crochet. I do find it
very relaxing and have noticed it is very easy to have 2 or 3 hours
just slip away. My mom recently had foot surgery. I sat by her bed and
crocheted the entire weekend I was with her in the hospital. She said
I looked so relaxed. She seemed so happy that I finally learned how to
do what her and my grandmother do.
