I got a package in the mail from Susie Derkins today- I won’t say what was in it, so as not to ruin the surprise for anyone who hasn’t gotten theirs, but it was cool stuff! Thanks! Mine went into the mail today. ---

_sigh_ I wish I’d remembered this earlier. Due to recent shitty circumstances (husband getting laid off and my hours getting cut by 25% _and_ a pay reduction), I’m not going to be able to do this one. ☹ I thought long and hard about it, but even a couple of bucks at the dollar store and a baker’s dozen stamps is outta my league right now. I got my first one today from **faithfool**. Thanks! I guess this is the best I can do: ---

Hey all! My cards will go out tomorrow. We’ve been in the hospital since last Monday with our youngest son (pneumonia, and he’s much better now). Sorry for the delay. ---

Sorry. :o I haven’t checked my mail yet this week, will do so tonight. **Avarie** , don’t sweat it. \*My handwriting sucks eggs. It’s enough that I signed them. ---
