Re: Leanne/thanks!

[Guest guest]

Thanks Leanne! I'm trying, trust me....

I hope you get to meet my daughter in May, in San . You'll see

why she has so many friends and why we're such a good pair together.

She hasn't said for sure if she's going yet, but I would adore for

y'all to meet her. You WILL get to meet the Chaz, and that my friend,

is a treat....

As for the knees, as I posted to Gwynne, I will probably wait until

fall, after my 30 year high school reunion. I never thought I would

live long enough to see this one, so it's extra-special to me. Plus I

need, need, need to lose some weight. But it's so hard, hard, hard....

I am soooo looking forward to meeting you!

Hugs!
