It's wonderful to know your mom had such a full life to the end and that you two both shared a love for sewing. I'm glad you're getting your health in line, and I think I've almost convinced my husband that we should get a Vitamix. As soon as I get a job here in Seattle. Which means I need to finally start looking... :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4920875739028519515.post-77626048919099947102013-07-13T04:29:52.538-07:002013-07-13T04:29:52.538-07:00Happy belated Birthday!.
