(SEE POST FURTHER DOWN FOR LATEST SCHEDULE.)
Okay, gang. I will try to make this as straightforward as possible. Will only keep the REAL schedule and one color.

Mary Anne in TX had to bow out for now as she will be away during her new visit slot. So, I will move up Pink Girl and she can send to Marie who will forward the fuzzy duo to Andi. After that, the schedule is again open.

Any takers??
Anyone else - chime in to be added to this list. Someone give them a breather after the south Florida Aug heat! (Just kidding, I know Andi is well air conditioned!)

2. Feb 15 - from Marlys to LAURIE (Ohio - for her end of treatment party)
3. End Feb to 10 March - Laurie to JONES (Mich.)

4. Mid March to 25 Mar - Jones to LILY (N. Carolina) - might as well keep them through Easter

5. Early to Mid April - Lily to STEPHN (Washington) Steph to take them to San Diego on April 11 for conference & fun with Joe!

6. Mid April - early May - StephN to MADUBOIS, who will take them from San Diego to Long Island on April 16, then send to BHutch in time for Denver.

7. End April to May 8 - Madubois to BHUTCH (Texas) for May 2 Denver Days of Caring.

8. May 8 to late May - Bhutch to HAZELJOYCE (Mass. - for her end of treatment shindig on May 15th) Bhutch will have a shortened visit and ship them to Hazeljoyce so she has them before May 15th.

9. End of May to mid June - Hazeljoyce to SASSY (Virginia)

10. End June to JULY 10 - Sassy sends to JOANNE S (Michigan) Hope Joanne has a fun 4th of July for them!

11. Mid to late July - Joanne S to PINK GIRL (Canada - and where the whirlwind journey all began - happy homecoming!)

12. End July to Aug 10 - Pink Girl sends to BELIEVE51 (Rhode Island) for a revisit

13. Mid August to late August - Believe51 sends to ANDI (Florida), also for revisit with Andi and her cute pups.

14. Schedule open. Maybe time for an overseas trip?
