Pearl,

Glad to hear you will be at the June meeting. I will be there, too. I am

flying in on the 9th June just so I can get to the meeting on Tuesday

night. I see Dr. K on Wednesday and fly home on Thursday. I look forward

to meeting you in person.

Love and blessings,

< Re: Re: Marta

Marta, you know I have a problem with getting out on my own because of

my

daughter. I go no where without her, or do anything without her.

Basically my

life consists of taking care of her. Going to the Dr her in town even

involves

taking her with me most of the time. I just don't trust her to a

babysitter,

nor do I know of anyone besides my brother who is an hour and twenty

minutes

away to leave her with. He is willing to take care of her for me, but

that

is hard for me to do. I have been so lucky to have him take her when I

had my

surgeries, and then take me. I used to dance and belong to a dance

group, but

then I had so many surgeries I became unable to dance and teach dance,

so

that is out. Not that I wouldn't love to do that again, but that is also

at

night, and guess who has to be home and putting her daughter to bed at

eight. You

know how I always have to head home from the meeting because of getting

her

to bed. I will be at the June meeting, and I don't have to go home

early, as

she will be at camp, so I can come early and stay late. Heck I can even

get a

room and stay if I need to. I have the week by myself. Monday to Friday

that

is. She is going to camp for the first time in years. I don't know if I

will

know what to do with myself. Heck I may even go out one of those nights

and

see if I can find my old dance group. It has been years though. Can't

dance

now because of my arm. Dang, dang, dang. Oh well...

I used to live around Machester, for 10 years in the 1970s. It was a

beautiful experience. I particularly loved Glossop in Derbyshire and

Stalybridge in Cheshire. We co-managed pubs, my ex and I. We had two

city pubs in Lancashire and Manchester, too. The idyllic settings of the

country pubs was quite enjoyable.

Glad to hear you had a good trip, Marta. And, your Don sounds like a

fantastic person. I think he's a keeper.

Blessings and love,

< Re: Marta

Pearl,

I will be home tomorrow night and hope I remember to record that

program. I am looking forward to viewing it. I think I got the June

NGM already, I remember the article about the Snow Leopards.

I am exhausted from doing so much this trip! We did the cruise, did

the car tour, put up a playground and storage shed. Wow. I need a

hot tub soak. I owe my DD(Dear Don) a huge thanks for taking on my

family with such good grace, too, and doing so much work for them/me.

Someday you should come over here and do what you dream of doing. My

mom waited too late and when I tried to take her, it turned out her

health wasn't good enough for travel. I felt bad for her.

Marta

tired and can't wait to go back home! lol

Thanks, Betsy. I am the Chief of my docs, so I have a lot of

responsibility. I probably should treat myself nicer. Anyway, I co-

own the group so cannot go away.

the time and energy you put into this list.  It helps me tremendously

to have your sound take on things, esp since I live so far out of

Marta aren't you going to bring DD for us to meet?

My grandson is home from the AF for his wedding. I saw him Sat. for my

daughters 50th birthday party. Her actual birthday is today. Seems weird to say

I

have a 50 year old daughter. I told her that one of these days I will catch

up to her. LOL I have a nephew that always says my daughters are older than I

am, as they are stick in the mud types, never want to go and do anything, and

I am always on the go. So he has said for years that they are older than me.

Now who couldn't/wouldn't love a nephew like that. He is just 11 months

older than my oldest too. My grandsons wedding is this wedding, two days for

the

honeymoon, then he goes back to Aviano, Italy ALONE. He has to go back and

get the paper work done to bring her over.

Hope to see you tomorrow.

Pat, if you can come, please bring your big shirt. I do have a reason.
