I am sewing this week with some Liberty that I bought in 2001 on my very first trip to London. I have kept it tucked away, waiting for someone special and she's here! carolghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15469424755998457310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7871855805349050304.post-83753938281089326422018-07-17T18:09:30.433-04:002018-07-17T18:09:30.433-04:00I love your blog but very seldom comment.

But the story turns around and now you have a new baby coming who will be celebrated and welcomed with joy.

She has turned into a lovely, lovely young woman and good wife and Mom. What I didn't tell here is that she had Wife #3 to deal with and that did not last either.

Thank God your mom pulled those things from the trash, and how wonderful that Lany still has her wonderful aunt!
