Hello Everyone

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

Just trying to send a " catch up " note.

Heidi - Thanks for all the information on Pete ... Janet and her family are in

my thoughts and prayers and I will get a card in the mail today. Additionally,

glad to hear that Don is on the mend again and driving you nuts and yes, that

would be peanuts!)

- Happy belated Anniversary. From your post it appears you had a lovely

time. Keep us posted on that date for surgery ... and take it easy with that

prednisone reduction. I hope you don't flare at such a rapid reduction rate.

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.

Glenda - Please know your sister and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

too. I hope the doctors come up with a positive solution for her.

Liz - It's always a pleasure reading about your adventures. I look forward to

hopefully seeing you in sunny CA this summer. I'm sure the weather there will

be mild compared to what you've just returned from.

To all those who have had birthdays recently, Marilyn, et all, ... Happy Happy

to each and everyone of you.

To the rest of the group who are flaring and feeling overall " poopy " to put it

mildly, take those meds, drink plenty of water to flush them through your system

and take those vitamins.

Lastly, just want to let you all know, we are winding down to the end of our

adventures on the East Coast ending 6 years of new territory we have explored

when the time permitted. We leave for California on June 21st, dog, and cat in

tow on the plane. But the best news of all .... our son and his wife blessed us

with another grandchild on my parents anniversary on the 29th ... Colin

weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz and was 19-1/2 inches long and a clone of his father.

Be well and I pray we all enjoy some long-term remission with this wonderful

disease we share. It gives us something to hope for .... don't forget to

exercise when time and pain permits. Just me, Kathleen (NY)
