Posting again, will try and do this every week from now on.  Got some good news, my brother is treating me,my husband, my sister and brother in law to a trip to Germany next spring.  He says it is for our anniversaries. Celebrated my 40th in August.  He is a great brother!  Have been making cards for a couple of swaps with Fran and Kathy in Hawaii.  Got a fantastic package yesterday from Melanie in Hawaii.  Am gonna take a picture of it tomorrow and try and post it .  Hope I remember how! 

Here is a picture I took in Florida In June when my sister and I went down when our mother was very ill.  We saw a rainbow almost everyday, we think it was a sign.  She is doing great now. Well have to help finish baking peanut butter cookies for hubby.
