		<description>Hi Barb. Hey Congratulations! I&#039;m still digging out from moving. Hell is an understatement. I haven&#039;t even had time to get to Liz. I&#039;m jealous. 

Love  your site. I wish I could join you in your art barn. ???

		<description>Ahh &lt;b&gt;Patricia&lt;/b&gt; -- open the fridge. I keep all shapes and sizes of filtered water bottles for the rest of you. :) (I do drink water too -- it&#039;s actually healthier. But don&#039;t say that out loud. Hahaha!

Thanks so much for coming -- I like your blog too! And have a note to myself to think over and write about how I met my honey.</description>

		<description>Hi &lt;strong&gt;Barbara&lt;/strong&gt; -- thanks for adding us to your weekly reading. I know you&#039;ll love Liz over time and hope you&#039;ll feel the same here.

You have a new blog started, one I&#039;ll enjoy reading. Kids and family are high on my life-priorities list. My daughter -- 39 -- said to me yesterday she and her hubby need to live to at least 90 because, from experience, she knows how much her kids will still need them. We talk almost daily...

From just your first two posts, I see you&#039;re that kind of mom. :)</description>

Your watercolors at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wetcanvas.com&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;WetCanvas&lt;/a&gt; have led me before to your website.

		<description>Hi &lt;strong&gt;Anita&lt;/strong&gt; -- You are generous. Thank you so much. :)

Ahhh -- well thanks I think, &lt;strong&gt;Sonya&lt;/strong&gt;. I&#039;ll have to run these recipes by my friend who has mastered Indian cuisine for her surgeon-husband, who is from India. Thanks!

Thank you &lt;strong&gt;Karol&lt;/strong&gt;! I think I need daily activity goals to feel I&#039;ve accomplished something. Not everyday. But most days. (If my kids call or my hubby asks me for a coffee-shop date though, it all gets put aside for the family times.)
&lt;strong&gt;
Terro&lt;/strong&gt;, I am so grateful for your comment -- bless you for saying so! We have a lot in common then... 

&lt;strong&gt;Valerie&lt;/strong&gt;, some day I hope to get to the U.K. I want to meet you face to face and watch you paint on your iPhone. And bring you a treat for saying such nice things about me. :) Thanks, friend.</description>

		<description>Congratulations Barb! Well deserved. I think your blog is very like Liz&#039;s, welcoming and generous. And another thing. You seem to do so much. Wherever I go, there&#039;s Barb, encouraging everybody, contributing insightful remarks and thoughtful articles. Not to mention adding inspiring and really beautiful artwork.
