      @@susangieski5381 thank you. I live in one room in a house that belongs to my son. Every other room in the house is locked, including the bathroom that has a shower. In my bedroom, I have a tiny refrigerator and microwave so all of my food is small frozen entrees or shelf stable food I can heat up except for sandwiches and crackers etc. My son comes by now and then and he called at 6:15 this morning to say he would be unlock the bathroom so I could take: a shower in about ten minutes.
      My grandson is trying to help me find a subsidized apartment do he can help me move to a place where I can have a kitchen and bathroom 24/7. Pray for me, please.

      Hi Crystal, I am so happy I found you; the way you tell us about each yarn is so interesting. Your giveaways are a fantastic way of finding new yarns. You always give us what yarns are good for what items. The yarn I liked best in this giveaway is tbe '" Milk Cotton Hot Pink, 3 weight from Christian. I've never used any milk cotton before (actually I never heard of it). I have so many ideas of what to make with it. Picking a favorite from this assortment was really tough!! I hope to one day win so that I can experiment with the great yarns you come up with. Maybe this will be my LUCKY chance. Keep entertaining us with your smile and sense of humor. I love making charity items and gifts but usually have a very limited choice of yarns because my income is so very limited. GOD BLESS YOU!
