Shiela from MI

Thank you, Shiela, for your kind words about my brother's passing. I am still somewhat in a state of shock. It's not even been three months since his diagnosis. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I am just thankful that he was surrounded by his loving wife and children at the end. I am planning to head back to Michigan in early spring to help my sister-in-law get ready for her move to Oklahoma to live with her middle daughter, son-in-law and 5(!) of her grandchildren. I've already told Debby that I will let her know when I'll be there so that we can get together. Hopefully, you will be available, too. I'll keep you posted.....♥ Jane

Thanks for the greeting. I actually live in unincorporated Snohomish County. My address says Everett, but 2 blocks away the addresses are Bothell. It is beautiful here, but lately, very soggy.

oh Shiela! I sure hope you are bundled up for your tree hunting excursion! I, too, would have to cut just the perfect one...I know you'll sure enjoy that toddy when you get home.
Still waiting on our snow - storm is held up and hasn't hit yet.

Hi Shiela! for the birthday wishes! They made my day! Leaving you with some left over

Thank you for the warm welcome to Sudokuland, Shiela, and on my birthday, too! Eventually, I'll upload a picture gallery of some of my nature photos, so you'll be able to see why I have the word "photo" in my name.

You're very welcome Shiela. I'm glad the "22 quilt" came in handy!

Shiela, so sorry to hear about your aunt's passing, but it's nice to know she rejoiced in her life and was grateful for the good time she had. Bravo to her and I'll say a prayer that her journey home will be filled with peace, love and that she'll meet up with old friends who'll welcome her.

Love to you and your family on the passing of your aunt, Shiela. I hope that we all can be that upbeat and positive as the time approaches. God bless you all.

I'm sorry for your loss, Shiela. Your Aunt seemed to know how to live and then, how to leave. Another angel in heaven...
My condolences to you and your family.

Shiela, I think I would have loved your aunt. What a great outlook on life.
May I please add my sympathies to you and your family.
In memory of your Aunt.

Sheila

Hi Shiela, I've come to wish all the best for Christmas and I hope you have a wonderful time. There will be tears for your Aunt, but she WILL be there with you, even though you won't see her! I'll "see" you next year. We go away on Saturday for a couple of days at the river house, then drive south to Wagga Wagga for Christmas with P's brothers, sisters and their families. After that we go back to the river house for New Year!

MERRY CHRISTMAS, Shiela, to you and your family!

Be safe driving around in this winter season!

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you Shiela for all the good wishes. Have a good new years! Hope you find a warm place to celebrate. We are heading for Key West!

Thanks for the birthday wishes Shiela. I hope you had a great Christmas, I have not been on much, I got married on the 13th of December so it has been a bit hectic. I forgot to mention this to people. Ha ha ha

Thanks for your feedback, Shiela - and my condolences on your loss. My comments were based in part on the fact that, as I wrote Christmas cards to family and friends this year, there were 8 people who had lost a parent or partner during the year and others facing serious health issues, so I had to find special ways of expressing greetings. No year is all happy - or all sad - but sometimes tha balance falls heavily in one direction or the other.
I hope that, in time, the happy memories of your aunt will be stronger than the sadness of her passing and you can think of her with a smile on your face.

Shiela, I reread your solution, and my "Well done" may have been premature. What if the inheritor saw two white dots? The puzzle must be solved without any conditions other than those stated. (By raising his hand, the inheritor indicated that he/she had seen at least one white circle, but maybe it was two.)

Shiela and family!

Why is Persuasion your favorite Austen novel?

Shiela! Wishing you a great new year!

Thank you for the birthday wishes. This was a very big suprise and made my day special.

Stopping by with a prayer and hug for you on this special day--I'm sure you're eagerly waiting by the phone! May you be blessed with joyous news as you prepare to welcome a sweet addition to your family!

What a lovely way to start the New Year!

The cycle of life is a beautiful thing.

Welcome your new grandchild with all your love.
Cherish every day.
