No.  We haven't been back to CO since late last summer.  We still haven't heard if the car has made it by train to DEN.  Then it gets loaded to a car transport vehicle to get to N CO.  We'll get back eventually...  hopefully.

Thanks for all of the clarification info.  My comment was also in reference to seeing batiks so often with black background fabric.  I realized the cream is just as stunning as the black in its contrast.

Finally, I have graduated to a cane, except for first thing in the morning and at night.  I was afraid I was never getting off the walker.  I was on the walker for almost a year with two major surgeries within 6 months of each other.  My back surgery went really well and I no longer have back pain and my total knee replacement went much smoother than it did in 2009 when I was twelve years younger.  Not bad for an old lady.

Happy dance for you Carolyn!   Way to get more independence for yourself!

Yay for walker!!! :D Congrats!!!

That is awesome news. You will be dancing at the retreat!!!

Glad to hear that!!  Great news!

Such great news, Carolyn! 

I’m sad to say that I've had to cancel out on retreat.  I had hoped that granddaughter, Lindzey's, work schedule would change enough that I could attend, but since I’ll be watching my 13 month old great granddaughter during that time, I won't be able to come.  I sure will miss seeing everyone again this year!  Plus it’s the 20 year retreat – one I really hate to have to miss.  Sigh! 

Oh, no!  How sad that the schedules couldn't be arranged to accommodate everyone. :-(   We will miss you.
