ha ha...Ive met you now Susan...you would not hurt a fly! I am so happy to have met you too. Other than being totally overwhelmed and taking no pics, I had an amazing afternoon. Megan also enjoyed meeting you all. She realizes now how important my SAL friends are to me because it doesn't matter where I go I have friends that make me feel like family! So on that note I am gently working on her to get that retreat house purchased and in shape for the next time I visit. That would be some reunion eh?! Thank you so much for your gift too. I love hand dyed threads and I will make something special with those ausie fat 1/4's too. Take care, regards, Holly
