What a special treat for all!<br /><br />Love the belt - eye roll and all. My sister just needlepointed a belt for her hubs - took her all summer!<br /><br />When do you move? Are you going far? Downsizing? I have a terrible memory and would forget my name if it wasn't on all the bills, haha.<br /><br />Best wishes to you - moving is very stressful.

My Mister retired almost a year ago and it is a different way of life for sure, but it will be much better post virus. I am amazed at all you have accomplished over the summer! It must be a wrench to part with your lovely home, but there is no replacement for being near our children, and I am sure you will love Dallas! Cannot wait to see your new place and all of the gorgeous things that you will do with it! Congratulations on a whole new adventure!
