AW: [sw-l] International SignWriting Alphabet (ISWA) in finished ; -)

[Tini Pel]

Congratulations Valerie. What a feeling of gratitude it must be for  
you knowing  a big job done.
where you able to sleep after 2:00 a.m.?

And Stefan what a beautiful photo of that flower. Are you still able  
to garden?
Thinking of you both and the list often. I hope to get back at it  
some day. Sign Writing is still one of my favorite occupation.

soon I have to teach a mother who's grandchild is born deaf, I am  
looking forward to that.

Love and Blessings to you all,


Tini.
