Love the pic. of Jackie deciding what she will knit for the coming winter season. I'm sure she will make the right decision & will look beautiful in whatever she makes.
My girls are still deciding, after all, we will be coming into summer. Looks like it's a secret. They're not telling anyone (lol).

Michele, Your pictures are awesome. I think I need a new camera. My pics have been coming out blurry lately. Can't tell whether it is the camera or me getting old and shaky. But I would fill up the memory in a day if I took a picture every time Kolby ran off with something. Glad to see the naughtiness isn't just in my house. Barb | |
