Hat time now....hair dye later...
Kate, I look at that fabulous face of yours on your message and just have this feeling that you will not only fight and win, but make an adventure of the thing! Those mean mets better stand and take notice that they are going down! I hate that you've the fight to make, but believe with you that the battle is won! Glad your daughter will be taking you and being at your side! She's awfully lucky to have such an incredible mom! And thanks for letting us know the plan and that you're ready to fight ! The very best wishes and prayers of success to you. mary anne
