Re: Happy Birthday to Our Founder, Christine!!!!
Today I cooked dinner for Christine. It was a seafood dish: Clams, muscles, scallops, shrimp, alaska king crab scampi over a bed of liguini.
Friday, Christine will be traveling to Saltillo, Mexico to attend the wedding of her cousin's daughter. The doctor told me that I cannot go so Chris is traveling with a close friend Susan who is also a cancer survivor.
Other than that things are fine and I hope to update everyone this weekend.
Love and Light
Joe
