Greetings everyone and welcome to the latest bulletin, which is dedicated to, and in loving memory of my dear mother, Janet Isobel Curtis, who died on Monday, March 2nd, 2009, aged 83 years, at the Allenbrook Nursing Home in England.

But once the glue had dried and the candlewax applied, the drawers are certainly sliding a whole lot better! So now I have “Sliding Drawers!”
