Thanks Leslie. That's great news! I will be driving my own car so that I can head to Spartanburg to visit my mom afterward. Also, I'm feeling 100% better. Thanks for asking! Wow, I'm so excited!
Thank you Leslie, I am a little late myself. Thank you so much for the sympathy card. That was very kind of you. It has been very hard for me but I know I will come around eventually. Love to all and Birdie and Maggie are singing up a storm! :)
Leslie,
I was really looking forward to the Orienteering outing, but the date snuck up on me and I see the event is now closed. If there's a chance that a spot opens up, please let me know (it would just be me). I can be there with as little as 1 hours advance notice (enough time to drive there)!
Thanks,
Christy Hill
Leslie, I'm having a little minor surgery on Friday the eighth. I think I'll be up for some orienteering on the 16th, but I can't be sure yet. I should be able to say definitively by Monday the 11th. Hope that's not too late.
