Good Afternoon from Penn's Woods where the weather this week has been picture perfect. Sunny days, cool nights, and temperatures in the low 80s. It doesn't get any better than this! Too bad that rain is forecast for the week-end but as the line from a poem says, "Into each life some rain must fall."

On that note, sadly my aunt was admitted to the hospital yesterday. She couldn't move her left side - sounds like something with the heart. I did talk to her last evening and her speech is fine. Actually she sounded better than she did a couple of days ago when I talked to her - stressed at the time with trying to get things done at one of her DD's house (having in painters etc.). My cousin is a single Mom and my aunt watches the children and does a lot of running around with them. We laughed that between the tranquiller and the rest she had already received is why she sounded so good. She has been like a mother to me since my own mother died and I count her as one of my best friends. Today they are running tests. For those who think kindly of me, please keep my aunt in your good thoughts and prayers.

Diane It is so hard what you are dealing with. I smiled when you said that after doing some things that you felt better. My mother used to tell me that if I was feeling down, go scrub a floor! Well I just scrubbed the bathtub and I feel great! LOL I continue to keep you in my good thoughts and prayers. It is a tough time for you.

grano & mysteryhorse Loved the pics of the children!

grano That one of the girls at the wedding is stunning - one worth framing imo.

QUESTION: For those who ship internationally and use Standard mail: we have noticed that ebay is charging anywhere from $3-5 more than what the actual cost is. We, of course, have been refunding the overage but it is discouraging that international customers are seeing higher amounts, esp. given how expensive it is anyway. We have checked and doubled-checked and don't know why ebay is adding extra to the postage.
