I'm thrilled to have the pin out of my thumb. It still hurts but I was catching stuff on the pin and that was terrible. I'm in the process of getting ready for Time Out For Women in Toronto. I just checked the weather forecast and it is suppose to be COLD and rainy! JUST MY LUCK! I'm sure it will be wonderful regardless. http://deseretbook.com/time-out It will be nice to have some time away with friends!
