May 13, 2007 Happy M.D.! Dear Friends,   Happy Mother's Day to all of you mothers out there!  Happy Mother's Day to women who may not be a mother but are like a mother to someone special! I have one very special friend named Ethel who is like that to me.    I have had two weeks of sales like it was Christmas....everyone thinking about Mother's Day, graduations and retirements.  A prayer box bracelet seems to be the perfect personal gift for these occasions. I am thinking I should possibly have an open house in the spring to promote sales for these occasions. The online visits to this site have been up for the last month.  That's always a good thing!!   Neither of our sons were able to come home this weekend, so it will be a quiet day.  We will go to church and then out for brunch with good friends.  Our missionary friends who I have stayed with in Honduras several times are in Marion today and will be speaking at church.  We will spend some time with them this afternoon and I am looking so forward to that!   Next week we head to Wisconsin and will spend time at our sister's lake home in Northern Wisconsin.  We will be home on the 21st of May. It's always fun to go see such beautiful country, and slow down our pace!   I hope all you mothers, grandmothers, graduates and retirees just love your bracelets!  I loved making them for you!!    Have a wonderful day....   Fondly, Julie
