A Pat on the Back

Dear Cheryl-Anne: I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy reading your column. I find that I can live vicariously through your writings. I don't have the time to go to yard sales, nor do I take the time to collect the things you do; but I do relish reading your descriptions of your framed embroidery, old sewing basket, and especially the column about puttering. Please keep up the good work. -- Vicki Shumaker, Spokane

Response: Thanks for the kind words, Vicki. I love writing about my adventures and the things that mean so much to me, and it's nice to know that my stories resonate with a reader. As for puttering... I believe it is a universal pleasure. You don't have to be a collector to enjoy it.
