Gosh, battin' a thousand here Cort.

Looks like I will not have a free weekend until May, then it's specific. I think there is one open! Between work and family commitments, time is very scarce.

These are all great plans and I know you will enjoy! LoRain and I are shooting for a lunch or dinner mid week soon. Will let you know what we come up with.

 

[Lorraine]

Hey Cort,

As it looks right now, I'll probably be able to make it. Carol maybe too. It would be 4 days before her birthday. I'll ask her.

The only thing that would stop me is if Old Man Winter rears it's head with a early spring storm. I don't go far from home during snow storms. We've had our share of snow this year! Who else will be there? You'll have to join Gina and myself when we get together, sometime soon.

 

[Guest]

Hey Gina,

Sorry you won't be able to make it .


Lorraine,

Glad you will be able to make it ... and Carol, too! That'd be cool! Baseball season is just around the corner .



**** UPDATE! ****

This is NEXT MONTH!


Will YOU join us for this GREAT opportunity to meet'n'greet people and SAVE on the price of admission to LEGOLAND?? Our PRICE ($6 per person) is ~1/3 of the REGULAR price!

Hello All!

Hello All!

Hello All!

Haven't been on here in a long time...thought I would stop by and say 'hi'. So there is a reunion on the 4th of April? Depending on my schedule, I may be able to make it, my schedule has been so uncertain lately, so its hard to tell...will let you all know when time gets closer...so what is legoland? Don't think I have ever been in that store the times I have been to Woodfield.

Hope everyone I know from here is doing okay...health wise I have been doing great. Everything is stable, just continue to go for my Coumadin blood tests every month and to see my cardio every six months. It's hard to believe that my pediatric cardio hasn't retired yet. She is getting older and mentioned that she might have to go on a leave from practice. She already has another cardiologist working with her to I am guessing replace her when she retires.
He is supposed to be one of the best cardiologists, he is an adult cardiologist but I guess he is also seeing Congenital Heart patients too. Maybe you have heard of him Dr.Ziyad M Hijazi. Eventually I will be seeing him when my pediatric cardio retires. So that is what has been going on with me...

Take care everyone,

Danielle

How about that Lego jungle! Too cool! You'll have to post some pictures. Those that missed out, oh well! They missed a great afternoon!
