That's soooooo cool Pat!! I'm happy for you!

Strange things happen sometimes. Can I tell you a story?

Once when I lived in Florida, I was 10 months pregnant!!! My landlord came by and got upset that the yard was full of weeds--- we were to be put out if it wasn't cleaned up by the end of the week. I kid you not-- two days later a man came to my door-- on foot -- and asked if I needed any yard work done-- he'd do it for some lunch and a cool drink. With him, he had a shovel, rake and a cassette carrier that he said he'd found and asked if I'd like to pick out a cassette for myself, of which I picked "Patsy Cline".

He worked all day out in the hot sun, I made him the biggest sandwich and kept refilling his iced tea and by evening my yard was clear of weeds!!!! I insisted on paying him. He then had me write the check out to a woman's name and said he didn't have an account-- so I wrote it to her.

Then he was gone, I looked around when I'd go shopping or to the flea markets or gas stations-- but never saw him again........ though he did leave a shovel that I still use-- 16 years later, and I think of him and how he happened upon my door-- everytime I listen to Patsy Cline sing.. "Walking after Midnight" .

It is amazing how things happen sometimes, isn't it?

Wishing you a good day! Hooray for your Roseville Teapot!!!!
