Row Robin starts Jan. 2016 All info on first post.

[Lois B.]

Attention Rowers!

Our dear sister Terrie is obviously overwhelmed. And who wouldn't be? When I convinced her to stay in the boat, things were not this hectic for her. But as we all can identify with, life can throw us too many things at one time to be able to handle, and keep our sanity. So, with our Blessings To you, Terrie, please stay on shore and encourage us to row on. You have been a blessing to all of us. I believe I'm speaking for all of us when I say, You are special!

I am NOT going to redo the list on the first post. That information may be wanted by someone in the future. What I will say is, just row on! During your 'Terrie' month, you can have a rest, make a row for yourself, make a row for the next person on your list, or,, well I'm sure you get the idea. I'm going to leave it up to each of you how you want to handle your time.

Terrie, your captain has assigned you to 'shore patrol'. Keep us posted of any sea creatures or storms on the horizon, and above all,,,,SEND CHOCOLATES! Pictures will do just fine.

What they said, Terrie! Of course we want you to do what is best for you, and we all understand that life sometimes means not taking on more that would be a stress. (((hugs to you)))

[Lois B.]

Yes Terrie...what they said! ((((hugs)))

Hey Terrie fine by me but you've got to stay as a lounge lizard. We love you and hope next year is a good one xxx

[Catherine S.]

Yes, what everyone else said. Love you Terrie and we all understand. I am just hoping I can keep it up. I just keep telling myself once the holidays are over things will settle down. I sure hope so. I better go peek at the two grands playing outside on this sunny day. I thought they should get fresh air while it is nice enough. Dad doesn't always let them out much. Merry Christmas to all.

Terrie, I will echo what everyone else has said. Having no new words to add to the collective wisdom, I will simply say I am thinking of you and your family and look forward to any conversations, input, or general lurking you may provide. Hope you have a very Merry Christmas and the new year brings you joy and comfort

Hello to my fellow rowers!
Sorry I haven't been very active on the forum....

Jdelka: congratulations on such good news!
Terrie: I'm sorry you are leaving, but like everyone says: take care of yourself and family, drop by once in a while to "feed" us with your chocolate! :cheer:

I have something to ask all rowers, if possible....
I was thinking of my final design and how an extra row (or border) could tie every row together... Would it be possible to include a 2-1/2" x 2-1/2"square of one of the fabric used in the row? I would gladly do the same if anyone would like that...

Let me know!

Have a merry Christmas!

[wendy w.]

Luann,
Are you ok?

Luann sorry we've not been here to talk to you much the last week or so, it's that time of year. Xx

[wendy w.]

I'm fine. I realized at the beginning of December that I had some major commitments for 2016. That was why I asked everyone if they were ok with variation on the 'row'. As everyone receives their packages, it'll become apparent what one of my focus areas has been.
I actually had planned to do a row a week, then just mail them out on the appropriate month. Once I had them underway, it just snowballed on me and it became a focus. And since they are done, I can't wait to get them on their way.

[Andree B.]

What a surprise! I guess we can send them ahead,it doesn't really matter, as long as the others don't feel they must do the same?
