Hi Everyone! Welcome, now and forever. I love this. I have been a member since almost the beginning of Holly's first venture, but don't get on much. Hope to change that with this. I am a retired nurse, 59 years old and married to my high school sweetheart since 1968. And for all you newly marrieds, it only gets better! I have been sick for the last 6 years and am really getting started all over again. I got sick about one month after buying my first embroidery machine, so it has less than 20 hours on it. I got a new machine about 6 weeks ago another Brother! This one is the PE750D. It has the 5x7 hoop and plugs into a computer. WOW..I am embroidering on every thing loose. Tim and I have Two children, Rob, married to Kimberly and Jill, married to Jeff. Rob has two boys. Trey is 8, and Andrew if 5. Jill has James who is 3 and Jane who is 1. The big news here is that Rob and Kimberly are pregnant again. They are still in shock!! Hoping for a healthy baby (girl) maybe?? Jane is a walking embroidery store. Since I got back to it, I have been busy. I am a member of ATW, Nita's Place and Nita's Thread Nest and go by Janice11 on those, sometimes Oma. Almost everyone I have ever met has been very nice and friendly. I am a newbie, having to start all over and was a newbie when I had to stop, so every now and then I will have a question. Believe me when I say it is the very last resort......I don't sleep alot at night, so I am on line, just llistening mostly. I got a Morphine Pump implanted a short while ago and am doing better most of the time, so I hope to get to you. I'll put in a picture of me when I can find one that does't look like me. Larry did something good. Will be reading all the bios soon! Oma
