Ann,

I'm glad you weren't blown away with the winds an rain! I'd love to see your latest rug. I still want to make an animal themed one, would like for this to be my next project, but I fear my barn will be keeping me busy for quite some time. No, Ernie does not have a tail.

Thanks, Ann, for your picture comments. I hope not to "junk" it (BR) up too much! LOL

Hi Ann,
I posted a reply re the linking of web sites etc in the Skyline drive thread.
I put a link in it so it has to be approved by the moderators before it gets posted (all explained in the reply)
So watch this space for my way of doing it.

cheers
Peter

Ann- I bought a heated towel rack as well! We had this once in a bed & breakfast we visited, it was so nice. I just knew Jim would appreciate warm towels, as he is always cold! (not so prior to dx)
