    Oh, Andrea Dawn,

    You walked the mall!!!! Yes!!! and you had a good physiotherapy session and you got a rhema word and you made me laugh out loud..."Every knee shall bow"...even yours. You are too funny!

    I was just about to ask you how you make those envelopes when the next words I read were "tutorial here." Aren't you just way ahead of me. No surprise here. What you lack in leg speed, you certainly make up for in creativity and insight.

    You know, you and me and Susan could have a fabulous time together. We all seem to enjoy the same things.

    I love you, Sister,
    Dawn
