I got the best kind of email this morning from my good friend Karin. She and her boyfriend Michael are engaged! It’s sort of a whirlwind romance, though they have known each other 5 yrs, but only through the web and telephone. She decided to go meet him in North Carolina about five months ago and sparks flew! So they have been traveling back and forth from Illinois to NC to see each other. Her engagement ring was her grandmom’s-it’s about 58 yrs old-so beautiful. I wish them much happiness.
