Wendy,
I agree, since I'm in Virignia , with Pat. I think Virginia is the
central location. big grin
On another note, My computer will be down from this coming Sunday, Oct
19, until about the 24th of Oct.. ( the new flooring is being laid on the top
three levels of my house on Oct 20-21)
Marshall ( my son) is coming on Sunday to take my computer apart
and move the part to the sewing room , until the new carpet is laid in the
room where the computer stays. He'll come back and hook everything up on Wed.
, Thursday or Friday. ( so I won't be able to send or recieve e-mails at that
time).
Wish me luck !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
That works for me. I live five minutes from GStreet Fabrics ( in Potomac
Mills Outlet Mall - along I-95) The big IKEA is right behind the mall.
There is also a very large Hancock Fabrics and JoAnn Fabrics across the street
from the mall.
See a little bit of everything for everyone. grin

I would love to meet you there, Kris and Pat (and any other RCTQr's). It
is a two hour drive for me. Every time we drive to Richmond, VA on I95
to visit family, I say we will stop at the Mall at Potomac Mills on the
way home, but never seem to have the time. Just let me know where and
when. Nancycog in MD

I am actually 35. wishful thinking, I guess. And I missed the favourite

yet...)

Wendy,.....Oh Wendy!! Guess who has every episode of all three seasons
of "Forever Knight" on tape??? OK, I have to admit that two of them
are sort of messed up---but all the rest are vintage!

Have you ever heard of Black Harbor?
After our vampire died he made another series (Canadian) I have that
too.
