The skies have opened up!!! Woohoo! I have been unable to use the computer in any functional way for the last day and half. After contacting my Internet service provider this morning (hi Cyrus in the Philippines!), I concluded that it was our wireless router that we have connected (which has our kids' laptop connected to our computer/ISP basically). So I then contacted that company, and with the patience and understanding of Steve in India, we now have great internet service. Many, many thanks to Steve!!!!!!
You have no idea how elated I am (and so is my family)....so....Dude..........

Tonight, Sloppy is off to her first real concert!!!! Avril Lavigne (she was Teenager with lots of stuff's first concert and we have even visited her hometown of Napanee!) and the extremely popular Jonas Brothers are playing at SPAC!!! She is so darn excited!!!!! We first learned of the Jonas Brothers because the youngest member of the band, Nick, has type 1 diabetes like Sloppy but she is much more enamored with Joe, I think. It will be me, dh, and a whole lot of parents with screaming pre teens!!!!!Hope the rain holds off! Will report back!
My 11 year old daughter is most envious of your concert!! Love the completed doll quilt - especially the swirly quilting. Did you mark the pattern on or just wing it? Glad to hear your computer problems have been sorted.
