Hmmmm........

I just had to share this Mother's Day message an special friend,(we've known each other since the 1st grade!) sent me:

Njoya,

I am wishing you the very best this Mother's Day.
I hope that you share in the strength and blessings that
our mother's and mother's mothers who have brought us here to this moment.
I can see the strength and grace of a long line of strong mothers in you.

In the way you have touched lives, nurtured spirits and helped people,
you are a mother already.

Always,

Greg

Gosh!  That makes me feel good and rejuvenates me to go the distance!

Busy Njoya!

Besides running HKC Njoya is also a teacher!

Knitting Lets My Cat Relax & Sleep!

This is my baby; my sweetie pie Diego Baby Angrum.  He's my cat who thinks he's a boy and I'm his Mama! lol  He's got "Pinnochio Syndrome!" lol  He was given to me last November by my niece, (so I was his Auntie first!), before she left for France on her political science scholarship.  I'm very proud of her!  Diego is my knitting cat..., when I start knitting he finds my ankles or a pillow close by and sleeps. lol  This is him doing what he does best.  He also has a love for anything that rustles and he loves Duane Reade bags!  Believe me..., if I had the yarn outside of my bag he would be awake and jumping all over the place!
