Hope James is feeling better...I had been looking forward to meeting him in person, but there will other chances, I'm sure.<br /><br />Did you see the Lion Brand in Martha Stewart Living Magazine? They sent me a copy of it! Nice article for them. That store is really lovely and welcoming, and Lion Brand is so amazingly supportive, that they deserve all the positive publicity they can get.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06391086267728343589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38749589.post-24691408536807277862009-12-18T22:47:22.589-03:302009-12-18T22:47:22.589-03:30Ah, gee -- Another missed connection!

I'd have been a puddle, but she'd have had no problem. Now? Just today I told her she was born and raised in NYC and to stop whining about walking somewhere. I do hope she can plunge back in should she have the urge.Xxx.
