This was the first Christmas that I can remember not having Christmas dinner. I missed it but being with the kids made up for it.<br />Think of you often and I wanted to come by and wish you the best of everything for the New Year. I appreciate you being my friend.<br />Love <br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-82657325943289196962012-12-30T18:20:47.480-06:002012-12-30T18:20:47.480-06:00That is wonderful that you can continue a friendsh...That is wonderful that you can continue a friendship, what lovely soap.<br /><br />She will love her gift as well.

I love the socks, just from looking at them I can tell that they're super comfy! :) Catching up with old friends is wonderful - I recently had a class reunion and although it's only been 8 years since we've last seen each other, we had so much to tell, I can't imagine what it's like not having talked for about five decades.<br /><br />ps: the quilt in the soap/shawl picture is gorgeous!

I think it is absolutely amazing that you were able to reconnect with those old friends, that is wonderful! Also, I seriously want those socks, I can tell from the photo that they are VERY cuddly. I've heard that the mid-west has been warmer than usual, looks like no snow again this year (at last there wasn't any last year in Kansas). I always enjoy hearing from you Gerry!

Most of my hand-knit sox are bright. But this merino/cashmere blend with just enough nylon to make it work for sox is just so dang wonderfully, yes, decadent. And, Hunter Hammersen's design on this sock is small and repetitive so as to work for this darker color. Wearing these sox makes me feel elegant. <br />Oh, did I mention I've two more skeins arriving any day now?????<br /><br />Speaking of love, I do love your blog, Gail.<br />for those of you who aren't aware of Gail's blog where she does awesome projects in a variety of crafts.

There are many independent artists there which makes it hard to pick only one or two to bring home to treasure.<br /><br />One of the reason I love wall-art in my dressing [mentioned above]is that I can display my favorite pieces of clothing and jewelry rather than keeping them stored away.<br /><br />Hope all is well with you and that your winter will be mild.<br /><br />hugs GerryARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10730757811478587648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280046644089635726.post-40947729050891173752012-12-17T08:14:20.081-06:002012-12-17T08:14:20.081-06:00Gosh, Anna Marie, thanks for your kinds words.
