You know that for many years I have tried to encourage you to do bigger and better things with whatever craft or hobby interests you. I have seen many wonderful collections, pieces of work that has taken hours and h rs of concentration and other A ngs " showing how some people • worldng at their hobby. There is a lady in town who, without any special patterns and instructions, has designed and made her own rag rugs, all of them very nice and all showing the hours of pleasure she has spent with them. Recently our well known "C.P.X." man -told me about the collection of SWANS his young daughter has been working on, She has been fascinated by the line and form of these graceful birds and since she sees so much beauty in the tiny replicas she bast collected, she has made many around her interested, also, in picking up these lovely bits of glass or china. You can see by the photo that she has a wonderful start for a hobby, of two years., Good going, Debbie, I know your many friends in their travels.jwill help you by bringing back 4 different swan for you. I have a nice little "Thank You." note from Mary Howell. She knows she has a, host of friends 'in Goderich, but when you are flat on your back in hospital it is nice to know how many will take the time to say "I'm thinking of you." She says "Thank you ALL for your good wislut, I don't know if I'll get notes written to all of you, but in the meantime, please accept this "blanket" thank you (You should have said "Sheet" instead of blanket, Mary). Here is a progremreport.: Stitches are out, dressings are off (and the "hem 4,1 Wih Murtha stitching" is lovely!) and I am up every day. On Monday I start learning to walk again. I am booked to be moved to St, John's Convalescent Hospital as soon as there is a bed available. I have a ' bouquet. of snowdrops from my own garden, but I will probably miss the early flowers. Howeyer YOU are - invited 'to drop by to enjoy them. After I am home the coffee pot will be on; as usual, though you may have to pour yOur ovvn. • Thank you all for, your wonderful support....Mary." Now wasn't that nice? Mary certainly has one of the most, beautiful of the ',early spring gardens another hobby. The earliest and most colorful flowers are sure to be in her garden. Another hobby is her collection of tiny things. She has the most fascinating collection of miniatures to be seen in this district. She • also collects Debbie Jeffrey, daughter of Mr. and Virs.
