      Thanks for the visit and supportive comment Rosemarie, I wish I could get these problems that pop up with commenting to go away. They're good for awhile then go bonkers again. I've researched alot about it, and it seems many are having problems, but apparently we bloggers can't do much about it, because it's all random. Thanks for continuing to try.

    Annemarie, I am glad that you have been able to send so many things to Bridge and Beyond. They are in such need. It has stayed cold at nights here. I am glad to see you making some mittens also.
