    Hi All!  I can make it the 13th and can pick you up, Bevin.  I was just thinking the same thing about the queen!  She is amazing!  Hope you got that fly, Bevin, and glad we can "pep" you up at dinner, Karen!

    sparkysbrat- if you ever come back in town, let us know!

    A friend sent this to me and I thought Id share it with you:  Dr Erika Bernstein  Cancer is not a battle we win or lose.  It is not our fault or a sign of weakness.  We are not responsible for our cancer outcomes.  The crapshoot of cancer or reoccurrence can NOT be controlled.  Celeibrate yourself for each time you, despite all the trauma of cancer, treatment and the mindf*^k of survivorship choose to love, lust, live, laugh. We are not a success story based on our cancer progression or not.  We succeed if we are courageous enough to keep walking forward even with missing parts, severe pain, addled brains and broken hearts.  My brain is really addled, don't know if it's just since bc or I've grown into this, I know for a fact that the Tx plan is a chocolate martini! love to all, Karen

    Also, we are officially Clarence homeowners!  and Kenmore homeowners as wellSurprised  We are closing on the new house at the end of July.  We will be very close to The Hollow.  Hope I can adapt to being in a quiet neighborhood after being in or near the city for the past 15 years!  Our new street will have no streetlights!! Maybe we will get that dog after all...

    bevin and Susan, yes they do, Betty and I sampled them, Maureen had a Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookie, which she pronounced excellent.   They came in these really unique martini glasses.  Cannot wait to see everyone, Susan the Shingles are gone?, if so Hurray.

    Betty, you will definitely be missed.  Hope those patients realize what a gem they have in you, so we have to wait a month for our Buster' stories.  Does he realize he is a part of our group?  love, Karen

    Hi everyone, I dont get home from work till about 6pm.  I have to rely on rides right now so can't really dicate when I leave work. I'll see about getting a ride home earlier that day, but that may be a challenge.

    HI all,

    The time for dinner can be changed or we can meet and wait for all to arrive to be seated.  I have the following for dinner, Karen, Cheryl, Bevin, Susan, Jan and Kelly.  I have not heard from Maureen.  Betty, I am sorry you will not be attending.  We probably have some good casino stories to tell.  Maureen, I hope you will be able to attend.  Shot me a pm or give me a buzz to let me know one way or the other if you will be attending.

    I will make reservations for 5:30 and we will go from there.

    Hugs, Cheryl

    Cheryl, great idea, those of us who arrive at 5:30 can have our cocktails while waiting for bevin and Susan, and then order when they get there.  Very anxious to see everyone, need a very good peptalk from my friends. love, Karen

    I have to miss this evening! My daughter came home sick (stomach bug), from school today and my son has a soccer game tonight. Gabby is the last in the house to get it... We all had it over the last two weeks. :(



    Enjoy your evening! I'll talk to you all soon.

    It was so good to see you tonight, I got home safely, from the Creekview to my door is 30 miles on the dot.  Cheryl, Susan and Maureen, when I see you I realize how much I miss our group.  Buster's mom Betty, Kelly (hope Gabby feels better soon), bevin (keep that ice on), and Jan ( are you officially finished?), you were all missed.  I am putting you all in my pocket on Friday to give me your courage, Susan will call you Maureen when we get home.  love, Karen

    I'm sorry I missed dinner tonight. I hope it was good to be together, but sounds like it was a small group. My retirement dinner was very nice....good to see so many people I've come to know over the years teaching. Today was last official day of teaching. Now we go into exams and I will really be done on June 22. We have a reception with the board of ed next Wed and then my buildings retirement party is next Thurs June 21.



    Karen, continuing with prayers and good thoughts. Will be waiting to hear how you are on Friday.



    Love, Jan
