I love your quilt progress, too.<br /><br />I was talking to a neighbor about her sons and thought of you. One of her sons was 6 months away from being fully qualified as an electrician when the company he was working for let him go--a common practice here because then they'd be required to pay him more money. He went off to travel and ended up in NZ, where he's working now and LOVES it. Says it's the most fabulous place. He was at the game that Ireland won recently so was incredibly excited. Anyway, I thought of you because rugby and NZ = Nicky in my head! ;)<br /><br />Have a great week!Siobhánhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14664728276490470180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649040939414546013.post-28490224022764249512011-09-25T12:48:55.811+13:002011-09-25T12:48:55.811+13:00Gosh I would like to have been there to here your ...Gosh I would like to have been there to here your childrens excitement at finding an egg.
