Odd feeling it is, when you hit that delete button and instantly realize you messed up Big Time. Lost a bunch of patterns too. Still not sure how I did it, but I do know it was all my own doing, *hanging head in shame*. Ah well, I'm slowly rebuilding things. OOPs, got a little side tracked there, sorry. <br />Anyway, I've found you again and I'm so delighted to see you have a new puppy. Ollie is so adorable, really who could resist that little face? Not me, LOL. I plan to wander back through the posts I have missed, but can't do that for a few days, so I wondered, what does Frankie think of his baby brother?

So, you go right ahead and take the time off from FFF (not that you need my permission) as both you and Ollie deserve it. You have been so very generous in the past with these free designs that none of us can complain about you taking time off for more important issues. I have a 14 month old dog so I know of what you speak. So go; enjoy your Ollie time; do some things for yourself; enjoy life!!!Karen L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11803082902611080914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2745598838662491175.post-47260665139803971732012-09-03T16:11:41.114-03:002012-09-03T16:11:41.114-03:00Going to once a quarter just makes them that much ...Going to once a quarter just makes them that much more special.

Reading your blog, gives me insight to other places and destitnations...we travel to Quebec annually, and now our kids are both in VT, so we love to know about places in the NorthEast. We love Maine, and her rocky coast. Someday, we'd like to visit Nova Scotia, but time won't let us go that far, if we want to visit our kids all in the same vacation weeks!
