Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 I JUST posted my input on the swap and then noticed that Kathy just wrote something too. Now I feel bad that I didn't write with the charm and compliments like Kathy did. I agree that everyone was soooo nice and generous. I have loved all of the wares that I have tried so far. I'm sure everything else will be just as wonderful. The cookies from were gone in about a minute flat. I am pregnant, so I have an excuse for now. I agree that trading and bartering were the best, but cash is good in a pinch. I think that we all understand that some things are more expennsive and/or time consuming to make than others. I am looking forward to the next swap!!! Kathy... sorry, there were not any extra jars of jam or anything left at my house. So Sara, did you come out ahead maybe? Or did someone else count too many when they got home?

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi Kathy, You sure do know how to say things to make people feel good. Just wanted you to know that your jars of food fit in every bit as good as everyone elses. Never noticed any difference. I loved meeting you and everyone else too. It truly is a pleasure to have a face with a name. Hope we do continue this.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 I'm really glad to hear that the swap went well! The first attempt made at doing something like that was shortly after I first formed this list a couple of years ago. The only attendees were the hosts (Greg and his wife and son) and myself! ===== ---------------------------------------------------------------- Your country needs you! Find out about the issues!
