Re: Birthday Twins! Sassy and Mamacze!!
Dear Birthday Twins!
Felicitations!
Hope you have each had a day to remember and your families saw to it that you have been appropriately honored as the "women who wear the pants" in the family.
Anyone who can get through a breast cancer diagnosis and years of treatment certainly deserves that!

Re: Birthday Twins! Sassy and Mamacze!!
Thank you girls for your good wishes!
I am still waddling around from a high of chocolate, potato chips and red wine...
Lucky for me the kids came home - we had a glorious sunny day...hiking and lots of
laughs.
How 'bout you Sassy?
I love the promise of spring and the slow dance of a warm summer.
Love and Hugs,
Kim (from CT)
