[lace-chat] Fwd: Cruise control

I wasn't gonna do it... I post enough as it is, and I do not use cruise control at all; I don't *like* it... It's not *my* control, for one thing (would I be making lace if I *weren't* a control freak?)... It lulls me into thinking I don't have to pay attention...It makes me sleepy, because I a

Hi guys! I just had to share with you what I see outside today - the coolest and prettiest view - especially when inside in the warm! All the moisture we've had the last day or so has frozen around the trees, and it looks lacey. What'[s really cool is that some trees are bare, some still have
