Goodmorning Grace,
You'll be happy to hear that the welcome was the bright spot (God's perfect timing) in my morning.
I had been awakened by the sound of something chewing on wood, either in the wall or ceiling above me; 10' ceilings makes it sort of echo. Probably our 1st mouse of the season as we've had our 1st cool weather recently...(mice are not uncommon in old houses here in the south). I live in a rural area, the fields behind our house are sugarcane, the house is a 100 yr old cypress structure & one or two mice manage to find their way in every year. Then some sort of gnat swarmed me @ the desk as I booted up the computer...all of this just the devil trying to discourage me. So when I saw your welcome, believe me it couldn't have come at a better time! Thanks Grace.
You're so right; the ladies here ARE wonderful and talented. I value the inspiration I glean from reading the posts, visiting blogs and etsy's. This must be something vital to women, to have this interaction, to be able to connect with other women with similar values, because there are soooo many women (even internationally) that are members on this site. That speaks to me about how important our relationships are. This site provides a means to communicate; the way women of our ancestor's, and more recent generations did...over the fence or like one of MaryJane's forums...the Garden Gate. Chatting with our neighbors and community involvement, sewing circles, knit-clubs and card-clubs (bridge and so on) was the norm, & now it's less and less common except in this long-distance cyber world. This type of site means we can still have those vital connections...I guess that's what MaryJane's been trying to convey with her books and so on. I just feel so blessed by all of you. So Grace, you'll understand when I say again that your welcome couldn't have come at a better time!
Have a blessed day Grace,
Chandra

You are soooo right, in todays "world" when what little time we have left after working, both inside & out in the work force, we seem to have "lost" our "neighborhood gatherings", our coffe & tea clatches, chatting over hanging laundry or meeting at a friends house for Bridge, etc. Yes, MJF has provided us w/a way to do that via the internet, to stay connected.
I too love the wonderful tips from all these lovely ladies and have made some wonderful friendships along the way, some near by that I can met up with and others by email & telephone girl chats.
So jump in & have a blast. Oh, by-the-by, how lucky to live in a vintage home, if only walls could talk, the stories & history yours could tell. Someday you will have to post a pic.
farmgril hugz & blessing to you.
