Hi Donaeus....I haven't been around much since I first welcomed you to this site last week. So glad you are becoming a part of this very special thread. Today's thread was especially beautiful and touching...Billie has great talent and has taught the rest of us "hostesses" and finest regulars so much.

Hope to see you often and prayers being sent for your friend. He's close to the surgical hour about now???

Hello dutchess. :) I'm just getting settled in today as the last few days have been very busy. It is a blessing that I've found ya'll.

Billie you have done a wonderful job on putting this together. Thanks to all the other great contributors for the moving thoughts and images. Hope I didn't forget anyone up top, I'm still learning names. :)

Lord willing, Jim is half way through surgery as I type this. As long as there are no complications he should be on his way to recovery shortly. Your thoughts and prayers mean so much, thank you!

I think we all learn from each other, but that is the greatest of compliments, and thank you ((((((Dutchess))))))
