I just don't know where to start!! Thank you all so much for signing this card & Laura, I can't thank you enough for making it. It was nearly worth getting sick to get all these great cards & good wishes. I just want to thank everyone & after seeing all these signatures, I bet I've missed some. I returned to work for a few hours a day & can now see I'll have to cut back even more for awhile at least, I didn't know you could be this tired. Oh, I really like this picture also. Thanks again. #9501257

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 02, 2011

You are so very welcome, Tony! Please take care of yourself! There is only ONE YOU! :)

A Tony update, he has gone away overnight with his boss, his son & a work-mate. They have gone to a mill auction & are staying in a Windmill. He was very nervous about going, but was really looking forward to it. This is his thing, buying used machinery & turning it into workable equipment. This will really build his confidence up. One draw-back, Kody keeps looking for him & calling out, it's going to be along night. keep smiling you lot. #9537267

Laura E. Swan level-classic July 19, 2011

So happy for this update! Hope it went well!!!!! :D

We are all rooting for him. :) !!! #9540179
