Will do if I can verify location. I read one note that said Raley's at Madison and Hazel and another that said Raley's at Sunrise and San . Be difference in location, although I wasn't aware that Sunrise and San intersect unless San curves around.

HI,

I'm not post op yet but what is the SAWSSY group? That would be perfect for me because my daughter goes to bible study during that time frame and I'm home alone, tempted to eat! Is it post ops only?

It really is Madison and Hazel. They were supposed to meet at Sunrise and

San , and they did it last week, but decided to change back for this

week. Sorry to be so late, was at the doctor. I have conjunctivitis in my

right eye. LaWanda At 08:39 AM 6/9/05, you wrote:

No, just going by the last information that I had--2 and 9 at the other

Raley's as of the meeting two weeks ago. Of course I admit that was old

Hey, that Raleys is where Sunset (not Sunrise) meets San .

LaWanda, I hope your " pink eye " clears up quickly. Do what the doctor

says and I'm sure you will be fine.

I'll miss you tonight, dear LaWanda.
