WOW Brenda that would be GREAT
When will you be coming in September and what area of Tampa do your people live in?
I might be out of town around the 8th of Sept for a few days. I just joined a DRAGON BOAT RACING TEAM here in Tampa. My team is called THE PINK DRAGON LADIES and we are having MY first race in Atlanta at that time. I just had my second practice this last weekend. I cant believe I am doing this at my age and never having done anything like this before. But its great exercise and a great group of "survivors". I AM EXPANDING MY HORIZONS with things I have never attempted - WOW.
That should be the only time that I will be away. But let me know and we can make plans to meet up. Will look forward to it.
Again good luck on your next scans.
Take care my friend.
