Phyl,

It was my bad on the copy/paste.  Forgive me!  >:D ;)

Ok, all!  Will see you all there!  Be careful going and MuMu's and elastic waistband slacks are not required attire but highly suggested! :D

Just returned from the ANA brunch in Worcester, Massachusetts.  Great food, good company and a fine time was had by all!  So glad Phyl could make it.  It wouldn't have been the same without her.  Looking forward to seeing a few pictures from the event.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

MeiMei.... wish you could have....next one planned for April 15 :)

Well, all.... thrilled I was able to make it (and a special "thank you!" to Kathy/Bob/Laura/John for helping me and da bloke to make it there/home!).  Terrific turn out, too much food, great conversation and yes..... the apple dumplin's!  Yes, our Brazilian Nut came through in a BIG way.... truly... a VERY big way!  2 sampling pics below.... and more in the photo album link below:



Front LtoR:  LisaP, Laura, SusanA, Scarlett, Rich
Back LtoR:  JimScott, TinaS, Laura, KathyMc, BobMc, KatieB, Helga, YogaSue, Theresa, some 1/2 Blonde, Cheeky Bloke, Nancy, Keith, John B.  (Missing from pic but attended were Laura's Mom - where was she?), LynnMc/Daughter B as well as Wayne/Chris)

So, here it is!  And wow! Was it delish!!!!!!!  (no calories, of course!).



To see full brunch, use this link..... many that were missing from group pic in front of the infamous double-decker bus can be seen here.  BTW, we had 2 Brits in the group! :)

Wonderful day, thank you all!

April 15 is on the calendar, but that is the first weekend of school vacation so it's possible other plans will crop up. I know scheduling around April can get dicey for everyone...

Noted!  Sunday before is Easter... and week after.... Earth Day :)  Have it booked for April 15 and if there are too many that can't do it, can move it into May, but would have to do so now since they book that far in advance for weddings/bridal showers.
