    Congratulations to your daughter, Carol, she is very beautiful and I pray that as she begins this new journey, many blessings for her. I know you are so proud, and what a great milestone for her. May all her dreams come true.

    I read your post on The Desert Rose pattern and found it to be true too, as I have been collecting this beautiful dinnerware for sometime too. I don't buy any now in the dept. stores the quality is not there.
    As always such a joy to visit here with you.

    Congratulations to that beautiful graduate of yours, Gayle!

    I finally figured out why it was that I was no longer able to post comments to any of the blogs I follow! Glad to have that straightened out.

    All is going well here...just still extremely busy.

    Isn't it crazy that these grads have to volunteer to get hired after all the hard work at school. My daughter has been told she may have to volunteer when she finishes college before she can get a job. She will be a RN. Maybe your daughter chose to so I shouldn't just assume. Just wondering. You must be so proud though.

    I don't think it's crazy at all.
    Yes, my daughter did choose to give a year of her life to help an underserved community. The need is great and it is something she wants to do.
    By the way, the organization she is with still needs nurses.
