Juanita, I can't think of anything better than spending time with my grandson to celebrate...especially something so special! I'm heading to San Antonio for treatment Friday the 12th and will work hard to get my arms around my little guy! (His 5th birthday is the 13th). I hope your celebration is awesome and memorable!
And Becky, I think highlights is a terrific idea! Gives me an idea for me. I am tired of this silly brown, grey, mixed-up hair of mine! (I guess I don't need a "real" reason to celebrate)!
Anniversary cheer, ma
