loz Unregistered	They should send me some too. Winter used to be my favorite....but I think that was because I was in school and wanted snow days.... Now I can never wait for spring and summer. I bought a few swap things today. By the time I get my name I'll be sending 3 packages..... Can't stop shopping.

Should we wait and do our swap after Bill is feeling better, or continue as planned which is probably what he would say. I love these gwift swaps but all that is on my mind now is bill and cindy, their families, shadow and smokey. I am the only one thinking this? OUR HOME NEEDS OUR GNOME!

Jiffymouse Unregistered	wendy, except a few dropping out because of intimate involvement with bill's situation, i believe we need to continue as normal as possible. this site has been bill's life for the 10 years i've known him and if we let it fall into a "how's bill today" site, he will lose much more than he will gain, ie his income. it is somewhere between a hobby and an obsession for most of us, but for bill, this is who he is and what he does. we need to honor him by keeping this part of his life going until he can rejoin us.

I couldn't agree more! I really think that Bill would want us to do things as planned. We will just do it while saying some extra prayers for him!
