Happy Birthday, Amanda!! Celebrate all month! I did a double take at the screen when you revealed you were 52. You have got to be kidding. I thought you were in your early 30's. Your skin care regime must be amazing along with clean living. You go girl! I love your monthly Quakers! The colors are just perfect for them and your stitching is beautiful! First time I had ever heard of a highland cow. They remind me of our buffalo here in the US out west. I hope you can finally get complete healing for your leg. Bless you, you had had a difficult time of it and for so long. I will be praying for healing, Amanda. Enjoy your holiday up north and take pictures and share! Dottie
