I am so glad she is better. When you described her breathing before going to hospital I was taken back in memory to when my oldest daughter was four and had pneumonia although she did not have to be hospitalized...but it was an anxious time. Here in the USA Pacific Northwest, we have had flooding after a season of drought. Several posts back I showed some photos of our driveway with a little flooding, but our property is part of a watershed project that helps to minimize flooding. Even so the elementary school three blocks from here had some flooding, which has never happened in the seven years we have lived here until now. My little granddaughters are home schoolers so they did not miss any school :) Even though I am a grandma, I feel I have much in common with you, and look forward to reading more entries in your blog so that I can better know you :) Cheering you on to healthy, happy days! xxGracie Saylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499163425742659172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-46151539150604500592016-01-11T11:18:49.428+00:002016-01-11T11:18:49.428+00:00Oh my, those socks are amazing...

It also helps to have a good easy well written pattern, I do think some patterns make too many assumptions and mean that unless you are really experienced they are difficult to follow.sustainablemumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04099701194160334671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151798681951781536.post-56364046826480223082016-01-06T18:27:57.899+00:002016-01-06T18:27:57.899+00:00Thank you.
