Thanks so much to you both! I loved helping and learning at the symposium.
I waked this morning to flowers, a chocolate bar, and cards! My granddaughter had waited til I fell asleep and then gotten up and made me a card from a little kit she got for Christmas. Just another reminder of how really great life is! The 3 of us will grab up my mother in law when I pick up Ayden from school and we'll all go have a silly dinner somewhere. Ayden is so patient with the "ancient ones"!
Thanks a million, ma
