Kind Words:
Just came in from outside where it is so snowy and icy that I can’t walk anywhere without falling down. Besides, it’s colder than charity. So I went straight to your website, Janet, to improve my mood, which did the trick. Warm good wishes.
Freeman Patterson, Photographer, New Brunswick
Your new website is TERRIFIC.
