Ok, the ppearl express is leaving here shortly (hey Paul, you still sounded asleep when I just spoke to you! Gettouttabed, hun! :)  I'm enroute to pick you up!)

Now, I have faith in everyone that won't be there to play nice, not trash the house, no wild parties and no running the phone bills.  Be good and if I get a phone call that you all got outta line.... know that I will not be happy!  So, have a good time with me gone....

Tina and I had a great time and ate well at the brunch.  Phyl was an excellent hostess.  I really enjoyed meeting her and everyone who attended.  I only wish we had more time together. I'll likely attend the next brunch in the fall and if so, I'll really try to spend a little more time with everyone. 

Thanks again, Phyl.  You were fun to be around Sunday and did a fine job of coordinating the brunch.  Well done.  :)

Jim
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.

Yup ... and I gained two eating it!  That's why I'm standing sideways in the pictures ... doesn't look as bad!  Great pictures, Phyl! It was also great to see everyone, and meet new friends.  And I'm with Jim ... more room-circulating next time, and not so much eating ....  ;D

OUCH - keep missing the brunch dates by a few days - sounds like lots of fun and calories!!

slight discussions for Sept/Oct..... plan accordingly?

...and the planning was Jane's. Although she was unable to join us... she did all the leg work and it's Jane we have to thank!  :-*  :-*  :-*
