so blessed to have them close. I know it may not always be the case but I'm enjoying it while I can. I suspect that there may well be some future grandchildren born a distance away so I understand where your Mom's coming from.
Thank you for the comment on my quilt. I made that one for my first granddaughter.

"There are times when only a dog will do for a friend: when you're beaten, sick and blue, and the world's all wrong; for he won't care. If you break and cry, or grouch and swear; for he'll let you know as he licks your hands that he's downright sorry and understands." -Don Blanding (1894-1957)

p.s: totally off topic, I did post the toothpaste ingredients down below, just in case you didn't see them before...not that toothpaste is the first thing on your mind right now.
Yes we think she's a beauty too! And I did see your post but it was on a day when I popped in and out and I didn't leave a comment which was rude of me. Thank you for posting the ingredients. As soon as I have some time I'll look at it more closely.
