Kym dear, I wasn't gonna post cuz I wanted this to stay up near the top (you KNOW I saw it right after you posted) BUT since others have spoken I will too. NO we DIDN'T HAVE TO we WANTED TO. WHY? Because you are a great giving person. All you wanted was to help others and to do something to make this Christmas season a little more special and for some it was more than that! You didn't have to either, but you did and that is why this whole thing happened. BECAUSE you GAVE to others, we (Angie, Diana, and I, we all worked together) wanted to give something back to you and your family. In my opinion and I am sure they rest of us who pitched in (without whom all it all wouldn't have happened) wanted to make sure your family had something special too! You are loved, or at least well liked (hehe, smoothes) We couldn't let you go and give of yourself and dedicate your time to making others holiday special while you sat there on Christmas day wishing you could have giving your kids a Christmas. Kym, that just wouldn't have been right. I am sure all of us would have been sadden by that fact if we hadn't pitched in! We could and we did, because your and your family deserves to feel "Special" too! If I had joined this terrific swap you created and gotten all this wonderful seeds and KNOWN in my heart that you were breaking inside I couldn't have enjoyed them as much as I do! I hope everyone else who reached out to you and your family feels the same as I, Angie, and Diana does! YOU ARE SPECIAL, We LOVE you and wanted to show you how much you mean to us! Thank you for being the person you are. Thank you for caring about others, for giving yourself, and most of all for being a good friend to so many others! MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR CHILDREN Hugs and happiness, Fran

Thank you for the good wishes ... and may you also have a blessed, happy Christmas, with loved ones and friends. The pic would not be too pleasing to many of the citizens of Ontario and east, as they have had a huge ice storm on Sunday, with about a hundred thousand clients in Toronto without electricity as of last night, still about half of that, and now it's getting down to near zero, so many are moving to warming centres, and there's major concerns about pipes freezing. I've been kicking myself since last night, figuring that I should have gone to find a generator to go down to fire up people's freezers, as I've done in ice storms in the past. People want me to fire up their furnace, as well, but they are directly connected to the outside lines and, even though the main switch may be turned off, I've been afraid to risk putting power back out on the line when linemen figure it's dead. Hope you all have a happy, blessed Christmas, if that celebration matters to you. ole joyful

They probably fell in and couldn't get out. They can swim but it isn't something they would normally do. Maybe went to get a drink and fell in or chased in by a dog. Not sure, except I know they wouldn't get in a pool on purpose.
