And, not only are we both tapestry and fabric and weaver alike, but the needle as well. Thus we weave...https://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/joab61072/701905The rainfall is heavy and thick, like lukewarm soup served at the last minute to still the appetite if only temporarily.

Haven't had a chance to look at comments but will do it as soon as possible.I will be back as soon as I've seen by Dr.; always keeping an eye on me in this hot weather.
