Thank you so much! I have collected Owls for some 40 years and I have never seen one like the May 2009. Very interesting! I did find the 2010 calendar! I now collect Roosters,Hens & black and white Cows. I still have a soft spot for the owls also! Sometimes I run across one that I have to have! It is supposed to be good luck to heve an Owl in the house! I have a house full of Mary Moo Moos and I could not cownt(yes, I can spell)the # of Roosters and Cows and more than a few of Hens but not as pretty as the Male(colors). My son ordered me the Americana Rooster and Hen from Embroidery Library but I have not started sewing them. The tension on my favorite machine and the only one that takes a floppy disc is messed up right now and I have been under the weather for a week now and I just got up and left it when about ten tries did not fix it. The bobbin thread(white) is coming through on the blue Angels I WAS trying to sew. I use a muslin? hugh dish towel to play with and after about 10 tries, I got up and went back to bed! I do not usually give up that easily but could barely hold my head up so I figured things would go better when I felt better! I hope! I have not used the other 2 machines in several years except for a single design on occasion and I have to figure out how to run the others everytime I get on them. I need to sell the Singer and the Esante. I need the money more than 2 machines that I do not use! It is very hard rying to live off of a disability when My lot rent takes half of it and my meds run about $200 a month. I don't seem to be holding it together very well anymore. My car is sitting out the front without a tag on it and I have got to get it worked on before I can get a tag. In this area, you have to have an emmisions check before they will issue a tag. Back home that was not an issue. The check engine light has been on for 5 yrs. I was told that it would not hurt the car and it has been no problem at all! My son says it is just a gasket that needs to be replaced but refuses to fix it for me. He has me where he wants me right now! I can not leave the house until it is fixed. Did I say that my son is an A--! He changed from the nicest person in the world to what he is now after he left home at 37 and moved to the Atlanta area. I cut off the purse strings when he left so he started trying to get close to the Dad that had rarely seen him or done nothing for him since our divorce when my son was 11. 26 Yrs he had been the nicest person I knew and everyone loved him. As soon as his Dad started coming around, he began to act just like his Dad! We were married 16 yrs and I never understood anything he ever did, including taking up with one of my friends. I have no idea how long it was going on but as soon as I was sure he was running around, I went into SPY mode! I did not say a word until I actually found out for sure and he was gone that day! I did think all these years that my son was more like my side of the family until the last few years but I can not say that anymore! Right now, he is the source of my biggest heartache. I do not know the child that I nearly died having and raised alone even when his Dad and I were married. TMI Now is the time to shut up! Again Thanks! Sorry for my soap-box but it has been a horrible week-end! Hugs, Linda

the best is all we can do for the kids we raise. When they turn adult it is time for them to make the mistakes and we then in turn have to pick up the pieces. There are many times we want to give up but Love them is all we can really do.

Lovely, would like to print it for a friend but only got 2009. Can you please help. Strength with the difficult son. Maybe he will come around some time.
