Notes from the Heart...
Ah...it has snowed (and is still snowing as I write this). The children had the day
off from school, the woodstove is lit, life is good! Wherever you may be, keep
beautiful snowy New England in your heart this winter! ~M.
Dear Heart...
"Thank you for the link to the desktop backgrounds, I will enjoy them very
much. We came from our beautiful State of New York but went to beautiful New
England a lot, now that we are here in South Carolina we don't get back to that
area very often and I miss it very much." (Margaret, SC)

and on occasions when my folks would be late getting home for dinner I would
sometimes find a note telling me that the chops were in the refrigerator and to
please have them cooked by dinner time. Read on...
