There's our Martha! Hey girlfriend, thanks for sharing your emotions with me,
it will help me get a better handle. My thyroid died with a little bit of toxix
meds. and I almost went with it; so I guess I should be content to be who ever I
am. Maybe it's not so important to know who we are, we might not like what we
find out. LOL! One thing for sure we know we are not perfect.....can't walk on
water! Won't it be so wonderful to meet as many molers as we can in one place
at the same time. Oops! I cry if I am happy too; so we might think we are on a
lake before it's over. I think Carla and I are going to try to figure a way to
come up togeather; so that would be two nuts you would have to put up with, are
you ready for that? I have to really watch my pennies since this cancer thing
hit. So you find the cheap place and we'll make it a point to meet with you,
thanks for the invite. Can't wait to see everybody. By the way what happened
to your thyroid? Just re-read the post, we are having a big gathering around
the 19th of Sept. you will be there won't you? John, Marty, Barb and Corinne
are working the logistics out and dear Nancy has come up with a fantastic
T-shirt design, you need to get your order in as it will be one shirt that will
mean everything to us. Thanks for sharing, love your friend, Lillian
