Illinois ladies facing bc

I am afraid I have started a terrible slam against sweet potatoes. I actually thought that. I thought they had estrogen like rosemary. Maybe I dreamt this up. I also heard that licorice was in the same category. So I looked it up and I found (on a site that perhaps is not even right) that it is yams and not sweet potatoes that have etsrogen possibilities and the two are different! Now I have no idea the difference between the two.
Wendy I cannot believe you found the brandy extract. I got the real stuff so I won't be needing at anymore, unless this dish is a real hit. Wendy, we also share the same taste with vintage movies. I love Mildred Pierce.
Have fun today!!

Hi Girls - Back from the health club... feeling pretty good... trying not to think about the dreaded tests on Wednesday.
The new engine is great! We're going to take it for another ride this afternoon and then go food shopping (nothing quite like pulling into the Jewel parking lot in a race car that's SO loud that everyone has rubber necks - how embarassing), so dh can whip me up some grub! lol (I'm sooooooooooooo spoiled!) lol
Wanted to share this: if you have cereal in the morning...it's really good to add a couple of tablespoons of wheat germ (contains folic acid & vit. E & others) or ground flax seed (contains Lignans & Omega 3 fatty acids & others) preferably organic for both. Make sure the flax is either an oil or gound... you don't want to cause any Diverticular problems. You can hardly taste it. I also add it to smoothies, juices, organic yogurt, muffins and pancake mixes. The wheat germ evens works well as a "breading" for chicken or pork chops. Heck - you can add either - to just about everything! lol Well maybe NOT Margaritas!
Will check back later...

Hey Susan, you are correct in that yams do have estrogen in them. They actually use yams for some HRT products. One of them is called Estrace, and some docs used to think that was a better source when prescribing HRT for menopause. Now, after the last big study, HRT is used much less. My onc thinks eating yams is okay, in fact considers them very healthy. Maybe other docs have different opinions? I'm not sure about the difference either, as a sweet potato and a yam look very much alike to me. Maybe yams are a little smaller? I'm not giving them, up at any rate.
Laura, enjoy your good dinner. You are so lucky to have a DH who cooks! Who knew?
Blackjack, I hope there is no snoring going on today. Maybe the music will keep him awake!
I'm going outside to look at what the winter has done to my small garden, not to mention the deer. Then it's off to a 50th birthday party for me. It's ladies only, so I have to figure out what to feed my lonely DH tonight.
Have a beautiful day!

I tried photpbucket to get this comic but all it showed was a sign saying "removed by photobucket"!! This is how I feel some days!!!I'm sure everyone is out enjoying nice weather.....NOT HERE!!! we have RAIN and hi winds!! so far wind gusts up to 40MPH!! Raining sideways!! Oh well spring will be here soon!! ( I hope!
)Smerf, I'm also spoiled! (and LOVING it!) My DH cooks every night, He has dinner ready for me when I get home from work! And yes he does housework!
I feel kinda left out My onc never told me anything to avoid. Basically I asked about what I should & should not do and he said no need to make any changes. Do what you normally do. When I complain about neuropathy he says exercises more. He does a bone density test every year. And that's about it. Guess it's up to my PCP and surgeon to keep track of me.
Guess I better get the laundry finished

Hi all!
Wanted to stop by and say hello- let you all know that I'm still alive.
It's been a really busy couple of weeks. We have about 2/3 of our kitchen done- the base cabinets are set, the pantry is in, the lighting is all in, built-in microwave, dishwasher, hood, and stove are in. Our countertops are ordered, and I've organized everything that goes in the base cabinets and pantry. Still have to install a backsplash and the top cabinets once the counters are in. Also, still some trim work and painting to get done.
No problems with the Lexapro or my CVS- but I did get a stomach virus/ food poisoning last week, which knocked me out for a few days and made me "weak for a week". I see where that has been going around the Illinois Gals, boo-hoo...
Hope everyone is feeling better. When not sick, I've also been working a lot of hours between my husband's business and Trader Joe's. Plus a dear friend went through an intense breast cancer scare- so I was trying to provide physical and emotional support there. After about a gazzillon (seems that much) tests, it turned out to be benign! Thank goodness!
Did anyone out there see the PBS program MAGNIFICENT MIND AT ANY AGE? Blew me away- especially the part about not letting negative thoughts run your life. He calls them ANTS- Automatic Negative Thoughts. So you need to Kill the ANTS that are stealing your happiness and robbing your joy! When you find yourself obsessed by negative thoughts and anxieties, ask yourself 4 questions:
1. IS IT TRUE?
2. CAN YOU ABSOLUTELY KNOW FOR SURE THAT IT IS TRUE?
3. HOW DO YOU FEEL WHEN YOU BELIEVE THIS THOUGHT?
4. WHO WOULD YOU BE/ HOW WOULD YOU FEEL WITHOUT THE THOUGHT?Then, do what he calls "a turnaround" and ask yourself the opposite of the thought and compare the answers to the 4 questions to that thought. Most of the time, we find that the "turnaround" thought is more likely to be true and more positive for our life and over all mind health.
Works for me!
Susan- I'd heard about wild yamsand estrogen- but the point to remember is that most of what we eat are SWEET POTATOES and not yams. Sweet potatoes don't contain e or p. Here's a link that might help-
http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1926.html
from the answer:
In the United States, what is commonly referred to as a "yam" is actually a variety of sweet potato (ipomoea batatas). Yams are similar in shape to sweet potatoes, but are drier and starchier in taste, and are rougher and scalier in texture. Sweet potatoes are a good source of beta-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid, and some B vitamins. Predominantly grown in the Caribbean and Africa, yams are a good source of potassium, but contain no beta-carotene, and have lower levels of B vitamins, vitamin C, and folic acid than sweet potatoes. Eating sweet potatoes or yams will provide nutrients, but, as they contain neither progesterone nor estrogen, they won't affect a woman's hormonal balance.
Have to go to work! Looking forward to getting my project done, so I can spend more time with you all!

Laura...just a little note re: flax...it can act as a weak estrogen so this may not be a good thing to take if you are ER/PR+. I certainly avoid it wherever I can.
My DH cooks by bringing home take-out or making reservations. You guys are sooooo lucky!
Karin....what is up photobucket these days????? Jeesh.
Isn't it glorious out! Hope you are all enjoying it.....

Hi Jan Clare --- glad you dropped in today. You are great providing the info on the sweet-yam potatoes....guess it is one of those things to do in moderation if there is any question. I should actually eat more sweet potatoes that I do.
Dh here says he can cook --- but hmmm, not enough to suit me. I am back to saving up. My stove though not real old is once again sick needing repair. Friends and family night is coming up the end of this month and I'm seriously thinking of a new Kenmore. It has an automatic convection oven ---- this means you don't have to switch it on and make lots of calculations about temps and times.....if it has automatic it will do it for you. Also has the warming/keep warm drawer in the bottom. So after having repaired my older Kenmore three times I'm really close to saying yes. Flax ---- I buy a l loaf of flaxseed bread now and then....but not too often.
Hope you all are having a fantastic day. I took a walk today and loved it. Had a very light jacket with me but didn't need it. Just fantastic.
Prayers and hugs,
Jackie

Hi to everyone,
I was just checking in and reading before I jammie up.....the week ends go by so quickly, and I have had a bad emotional ride this weekend , they do come out of nowhere but they also go the same way they came......I am wondering if I can blame my Arimidex for any of this emotional stuff since Im not usually like this.....
So anyways, I went back to read this thread from the beginning.....and I just thought I would tell Wendy and Laura the house we sold in 2004 and had lived in forever was at Austin and Belmont....so I guess we are all old neighbors in a way.
I am holding tight on the next Rads/Arimidex conference which will be in May, hopefully this time they wont change the date and not notify people who were coming.....*rolling eyes*
Laura, this will be a good week for you. I will think nothing but good.....every day !
*laughing* I am trying to keep track of the supplements, correct types and dosages and the best and not so best foods and you wouldnt believe how long my list is getting.
It has been a beautiful week end....there will be many more coming.
Love to all of you
Jan

Hi Ladies!
What a gorgeous weekend! I am trying to to cram everything that I can in the next week while I'm feeling "good". On the 24th I will have my LAST CHEMO TREATMENT EVER!!!!!!
Went to rads Dr. I will start rads week of 4/6. And back to work 4/13. I am starting to feel as if my life is slowly, but surely coming back. The stupid receptionist at the rads Dr. gave me all this crap about insurance and so many days after the order...blah blah blah....anyway, she scheduled me for a PET scan for the day after chemo. I will be in a frickin' coma by then
. Oh well, my sister in law said that she would take me. I don't know about PET scans, but I hope that I don't have to drink anything. That would NOT be pretty.A question...I asked the onc when I could get the port removed. Bear in mind that I have an arm port, not a port in my neck. He told me 2 years!!!! WTH?! He said "in case the cancer comes back"...ummmmmm.....what?!?! Yes, I know that is a possiblity, but seriously, I feel as if that is giving it "permission" to come back and I will not give that permission. And also, I can get another port if I have/decide to. When/how long after chemo did you get your ports out? I will be seeing my BS this week for a final visit, and I'll be sure to ask her as well, but I think that 2 years is ridiculous! I want to be normal again!!!
Our quilt has been quilted, Janice did a beautiful job quilting it. My goal is to get the binding on it while I am feeling "good". Tomorrow, I am meeting Jim's sister in Lake Geneva for the day. Lunch and shopping are on the agenda. Weather is supposed to be nice, and I am looking forward to the day.
Love to all! Carol

You will LOVE the Jersey Boys! It's super! We came into the city on a bus trip and saw it. I have the CD of the musical and play it all the time.

HI Girls...OMG what a gorgeous day I had downtown. It was sooo much fun. The sun was out and believe it or not it was warm downtown. The city was totally green, Chicago River was a nice shade of pea green and the Daley Plaza fountain was dark emerald green. I did see some green beer too. Not my fave to drink lol. I have to tell you that I love to walk but girls...please don't try walking in 2 inch heels all over the city. It is not good for your toes. My poor feet are soaking as we speak.
I loved the Jersey Boys...the music...more music...the dancing. My dh even loved it. He stayed awake and was bopping to the music..go figure that one. lol We had so much fun..
We ate dinner at the Italian Village and it was soooo yummy. But then had to walk 12 long blocks in heels back to the car. I don't know who's idea that was to walk back. Oh, well I made it..but tomorrow is going to be a pamper day for my feet. lol I just wonder how those runway models do all that walking in heels. lol I guess that is not a job for me.lolWell I hope you all got out today and enjoyed the wonderful sunshine. Spring is coming..Spring is coming...hey.
I will ck back tomorrow after my feet recover. Have a great evening
Remember to be healthy..be happy

Oh dear Carol- I almost hate to tell you this, but, yes, I did keep my port for 2 years. It's because of the stage and grade- if you have the port removed and the cancer comes back, then your insurance company could refuse to put in another port. Their justification being that the first two years have the biggest odds for recurrence, so you should keep the port for at least that time.
My port was uncomfortable sometimes, but it was also great to have for all the bloodwork and tests (I had a power port that could be used for contrast) I went in every 8 weeks to have it flushed. I actually had some anxiety when it was time for the port to come out, as it was almost a "security blanket" in a lot of ways.
Perhaps you can try telling yourself that you will keep it for at least 6 months, and then see how you feel when that time is over.. The longer you go with the port, the less likely that the insurance company will deny you if you need it again.

Good morning....though we can't see the sun. We are having fog and I can't see the house across the meadow. Don't normally get fog ( it's a bit of a tulie fog ) like this but on rare occasions...but we can see a brightness....so sun is out there once the fog burns off. Will get a very good temp. today too.
Bj, it sounds like you had quite a day of nothing but enjoyment and it was time. Sure glad it was so much fun for ya's. Whew -- 12 blocks. Isn't that at least a mile. Wow !!!! my feet would never be the same.
Carol/berry I know where all the major sighs have been coming from....only one left, only one left and soon no more --- no more ---- no more. I don't think my feet hit the ground very much for the first two weeks after my last one. Even though you have to get through that last set of se's...so much of the sting of it is not there -- or maybe a better way to say it is it's much harder to forget about your enthusiasm of it's being the last one. I did have some mild resentment for those old se's but it is always quite a lot more worth it when you know you will not face it again.
For most everyone the radiation is a walk in the park after chemo....worst part is having to present yourself daily --- getting positioned on the table everyday seemed to almost take longer than the actual administration. You are almost there.. way to go.
Hope you all have a fantastic day. I'll be checking back later.
Prayers and hugs,
Jackie

I have told you of the Spaniard who always put on his spectacles when about to eat cherries, that they might look bigger and more attempting. In like manner I made the most of my enjoyment s: and through I do not cast my cares away, I pack them in as little compass as I can, and carry them as conveniently as I can for myself, and never let them annoy others.

Hey Carol...you're just about done and soon you'll be dancing the "no mo' chemo dance!" YEA!!! As for the rads, I found them much easier than the chemo. Like Jackie said, you just have to show up everyday and that's a pain but I was often in and out in 15 minutes.
JanClare...so good to see a post from you. I think of you often and know you are so busy. Hope all is going well for you now.
Laura, hugs.....thinking of you and hoping you get some peace today and tomorrow.
Jackie, today and tomorrow are supposed to be beautiful and even nicer than yesterday. I actually attacked one of my flower beds yesterday and it felt so good to be out and digging away.
WendyTY and I have already walked our three miles today. I need to get motivated and get my household chores done, though as we might walk a few holes of golf this afternoon.
Catch you later!

Good Morning...hope you all had a good weekend... it's so nice and warm today!
I finished 5 days of anti-inflamms...and there's no change...I'm not freaking out... but YES I am concerned... who the frick wouldn't be... oh well. My bone scan and x-ray is on Wednesday. I would love to post a few questions at the mets/recurrence forum - but I'm too chicken... there's a whole lotta negativity and in-fighting between some of the girls there. I'm afraid they'll attack me or anyone who - gawd forbid... posts a question about a possible symptom. It's sad...
Have a nice day. I am going to try to keep busy. I have lots of spring cleaning to do. And...I have my annual/routine dexa scan at 12:30 today...how much more fun could there be! lol
Wendrew - There have been reports that Flax is bad... but there are more reports stating that it's good. I think the controversy is that there is a small amount of hormone "thingies" in it...but there is also the same "thingie" in meats and many other products that we eat much more regularly. Just FYI...

Morning!!!!! It is a glorious wonderful day!!!! My mammogram showed just some scar tissue...come back in 6 months. Whew. Wendy is a happy, happy girl.Laura....yeah, I know there are so many things with bad hormone thingies in them but my onc, when I asked re: flaxseed oil as a supplement....he said "absolutely not". So...that was it for me. I was hoping that the anti-inflam's would work. Here's hoping that that your tests show a big, fat nothing. Do you need someone to keep you company? And I did hear about some of the stuff that was going on on these boards...it is so sad. Maybe post under not dx'd, but worried??
Blackjack....ah, what price beauty! Hope your feet are better and I too LOVE the Italian Village. Glad DH liked the play. How are you feeling otherwise?
Jan...so I take it the seminar was canceled. As for being emotional,,,,I think it's just a se of bc. Comes out of nowhere, doesn't it?
Rita....you clean your house, after lunch I am going out to start cleaning the garage...it is such a mess. Anything to be outside today....and tomorrow....I am going to grill.
Jacks....after 3x repairs you might as well treat yourself to a new stove. The one you are looking at sounds wonderful.
Carol....I got my port out a few days after my last chemo with the blessings of my onc and breast surgeon...in fact my onc was laughing and handed me my phone to call the surgeon as I was getting my last Herceptin. So...that means I had mine a year to get thru the H, but they said mine could have come out after chemo. Mine was in my chest so while I didn't like it, it just sat there. Your arm looks like it might and probably does cause you some discomfort in everyday life....hard to tell you what to do about this one but not having ins. pay for it could get expensive. Oh well......
Hope you are all having a wonderful day...enjoy the sun and springlike temps!

I meant port came out after my last Herceptin (which is not considered chemo)...sorry! Herceptin-brain!

Yea Wendy! Doesn't that good mammo just take away all that tension and worry! You're good to go now for 6 more months and such nice warm months they are going to be. I am also grilling out tonight!

Hey Laura, (and everyone!)
What a timely post-- have been talking to my PS about the same issue-- I have the same pocket of fat even with reconstruction and it bumps up under my arm and is making me crazy. He talked about removing it with lipo. Just waiting a bit in my case as the last surgery was recent and he recommended letting everything heal a bit more. I was making an assumption that insurance would pay for it-- but definitely will be checking. Would be interested in what you find out and will let you (and the group) know what I find out as well.
As a complete aside-- my son (6) won his very first Pinewood Derby with the Scouts over the weekend. Of course, Dad really did most of the work- still it's Tim's first trophy and he took it with him everywhere this weekend. Even to Target. We made him leave it in the car- so he strapped it in his carseat while we were in the store. For those of you on FB, I posted a picture of it.
Hoping everyone is well...

HI Girls...ahhhhh what a gorgeous sunny day today was. Time to clean off that deck furniture and fire up the grill. I think spring is finally here for a few days at least.
Laura...I hope all goes well this week with all your test. Sending you really big hugs your way.
Carol..hey only one more to go and chemo be gone. Hope you have fun in Lake Geneva. Did you eat at Popeye's? I just love that place cause you get to sit and look at the lake and eat.
Wendy..so glad to see that mamo's are good. hey for another 6 months. Bring out the wine and celebrate. No maybe you need margarita and nachos.
Rita... I loved the Jersey Boys!!!! as well as my dh. I told him I want to get the music cd to play on boat this summer. Just think having Frankie Valli serenading me on the water. lol What fun.
juliechicago...love your pic of ds race car. How cute is that.
Jackie..did you have any Irish luck? Hope the weather is good for you and you too can fire up that grill.
Well for me I have been cooking all day..making my famous honey crusted corn beef...20lbs worth for the family. The kitchen smells sooo good with all the pickling spices... garlic roasted potatoes roasting and homemade bread. It is an Irish / Italian dinner. lol You know a little of this and a little of that. I know that there will be no leftovers here. Never has been. lol
I hope you all are doing well and truly enjoying this wonderful day.
Remember to live life to the fullest, love with all your heart and hug the ones you love.Sending you all big hugs...
Remember to be healthy...be happy

Hi Everyone.....seems like it has been ( hope - hope ) a nice pretty/sunny day for everyone. I did not do many of the things I intended to, but the weather was so darn nice I didn't really care. Plenty of time to to buckle down here as the winter seemed so long and I just felt like spoiling myself a bit and allowing myself a day of fun in the sun and warm air.
Bj....I did have a spot of Irish luck as I won $5.00 which could get me five tickets....ah, we'll see but it sure was fun. Have to go into town tomorrow and get office supplies....I'll be right by the ticket counter...hmmm.
I haven't gotten my deck furnishings out but it is oh so close....and may happen in a day or two since from most reports the weather will stay rather nice. I'll need it....and some ice tea to boot. If this keeps up I'll be washing and detailing my car in no time.
Well, got a few things I need to do so I'll catch you all later. Hi to all.
Prayers and hugs
Jackie

Just popping in to say "good day" to all of you lovely ladies! We've been having a lot of problems with our internet connectivity - finally able to get online for a bit tonight. A tech will be out tomorrow afternoon sometime.
Hope everyone is enjoying the nice/warmer weather. It's such a pleasure to just walk outside without having to bundle up. Love it, love it, love it!!!
Hugs, Juliet

Hi Ladies. I'm in southern Il....Mt. Vernon. I'm 35, married, and have a 6 month old baby girl. I was diag with stage IV when she was 6 weeks old. I have not had surgery, just been on chemo since nov. My last scans a couple months ago showed the liver and bones INACTIVE, praise God. Currently trying to shrink down my left breast, as the tumor is more than 75% of my breast, and very painful. I will have more scans mid April. Good luck to all of you with your treatments.
Hugs & Hope....

Missy...welcome to you and hope you will come back often.
As always we are glad you are here but sorry it is due to this horrid disease. We are here to help you along the way....whatever form it may take....sometimes we laugh together, sometimes we cry -- each one of us has chosen to help the others through as this is sometimes a difficult path and there are enough here that someone will have the answer or help you are looking for. Long ago someone understood that only women who have or are undergoing treatment will TRULY get the range of feelings and deep emotions....including anger and depression ( pretty negative ) that are so often felt at this time. Like most everyone....we all had wonderful friends and family and though they may try....often we rely more on those who are having or have had the same experiences.I live just down the road from you....in Centralia .... on the eastern edge I 64 and about 7 miles from I 37 south. I just finished radiation this past July 08. Am now taking Arimidex --- my five year pill and will probably have something else to do after that. Just as we always have room for one more there are never too many to pray for. Come often. It's a bit late tonight but I'm sure you will get several more welcome notes. We are here for you.
Prayers and hugs
Jackie

Missy..welcome to the Illinois group. Sorry you had to find us but glad you did. Come often and let us know how you are doing. We are all at different stages of this journey... some are just starting out...some are in treatment and some are done and living life...So come with questions and we will help you through this BC journey that you are about to embark on. There are some here who are triple neg like you, so you are not alone. Sending you healing hugs your way.

Dear Missy ~
I also live just down the road from you. I live between Mt Vernon and Mcleansboro. My address is Mcleansboro. I frequent Mt Vernon a lot since my husband has a business just outside Woodlawn - Parker Automotive.
I am so very sorry to hear about your diagnosis. You hang in there! Never give up or give in! You have some good news that scans are coming back clear. That is very good. I hope you have family and friends that are stepping in to help you out. You have a lot on your plate with all the doctor visits, chemo and a small baby. I really don't know you but if you need help with anything, I will be willing to help out. Just let me know. I found this particular discussion topic to be the best on the entire board. You found a great group to connect.
As far as my treatment - I have just completed a total bilateral mastectomy with reconstruction. I was diagnosed Sept 08 at age 39. I am mom to a 7 year old sweetie.
It helps to talk to others experiencing the same issues. I hope you visit often. You can also send me a private message if you like. We can also put you on our prayer chain at church. We have some powerful prayer warriors there. I and others have truly seen miraculous results.
Prayers and hugs,
Jennifer

Hey ladies,
If you didn't already know ~ there is a really nice program through the American Cancer Society called "Look Good Feel Better". I checked it out and decided to go to one today. This is one of my few outings since my surgery. I actually do feel some better. I feel better little by little every day. The pain is more like "background noise" now instead of the heavy metal rock band screaming in my ear. Does anyone else relate to that analogy? Anyway, the "Look Good Feel Better" program was really nice. They give you like $250 worth of very high end makeup. (for instance: Chanel, Loreal and others) It has everything you would want. They go through the makeover with you and then demonstrate what you can do with wigs, turbans, hats, etc. Pretty neat. If you are interested call your local American Cancer Society to find out where the program is hosted in your area.
Today was gorgeous outside. It was a great day to be out. The weather gave me a boost.
RitaJean ~ I saw where you watched the basketball state finals. We are so excited down here that Woodlawn won 2nd in state. That is so awesome for a town of like 300 people. Everyone is so proud of the team. We laughed at a sign we saw - "Last person out of Woodlawn - Turn off the lights." HAHA. (That was pretty accurate too.)
OK ~ Would someone please explain to me what is wrong with eating sweet potatoes? I know they said alcohol is not good for cancer patients but sweet potatoes? I don't get it. ?????
Question: For those who are going through or have gone through mastectomy with reconstruction: Were you able to sleep in a regular bed or lie flat? I have not been able to sleep in my bed since the surgery. It hurts way too much to lie flat or semi-flat. I have been living out of my recliner. Anyone else relate? If so, how long does it last? I called my PS today and they said some people have that issue and to expect pain and discomfort until they expanders come out. (That is 6 months away - I already miss sleeping next to my hubby. Six months seems like a really long time.) I have tried extra pillows. So far, I haven't found anything that really works as well as the recliner. Frustrating.

Not much time this am but wanted to welcome you , Missy!
We're glad that you are here, but MAD that you are! You are so young to have to deal with all of this. Heck, we ALL are too young!!!!!
Come back oftern, to cry, to scream, to laugh, to ask questions. Just come and read. We are always here, always have an ear for you, a shoulder to cry on, open arms as we are all famous for our hugs. Whatever you need, one of us can come up with a solution. So....please let us help you on your journey. We are all different ages, all different types of bc, all different tx's and surgeries.
If you would like to....and only if you would like to....keep reading and if we sound somewhat "normal" (ok...some of us are a bit strange, but we are harmless LOL)...you might consider PM'g your name, add, phone #,e-mail, BD, etc to LauraGTO. Once she gets the info, she will email you back the list with all of our contact info as well. We have quite the list going! And it's so nice to be able to drop a personal note to someone who is down, or a happy note to celebrate good news. Totally up to you tho, of course.
Hang in there honey.....the CAVALRY HAS ARRIVED !!!!!!!
Hugs and smiles going your way today....
