Hey!! Long time no write

Cigargal · 05-21-2012, 11:00 AM

As I start this message I see that the last time I visited here was 2-24-2011. I am amazed that it has been so long, but it was a very full year for us. Lynn was diagnosed with breast cancer in November 2010. After 2 surgeries and a year of treatments we seem to be back to normal. Every time I poked around in my coolador I thought of you guys as I came across gifts and trades that dated back to 2006. You have always been in my heart. I hope all is well and I also hope there are some familiar faces still hanging around.

I wondered from time to time where you got to. I don't notice too much change here. Glad to hear everything is going well there.

bobarian · 05-21-2012, 11:22 AM

We miss you very much Marianne! Hope all is well. Good news about Lynn. Take care.

RGD. · 05-21-2012, 03:26 PM

Every time I see the "What are you reading" thread I think about you. Glad to see you are still hanging in there. Hopefully Lynn is in recovery mode and doing well.

Thanks guys! Lynn is doing great. Just had her 6 mo check up with her surgeon and got the green light. One more 6 monther and she can go back to yearly check-ups.

Great news! Life happens sometimes but glad you found us again

Samsquanch · 05-22-2012, 09:34 AM

I'm in the same boat, gone for about a year but glad to be back! I felt the same way every time I would pull a stick out that I received in a pass or trade. Welcome back!

Cigargal · 05-23-2012, 07:04 PM

Socal isn't in the budget this year, but next year I will be eligible for a little help from Uncle Sam

Might be a road trip in my future. Saving our pennies to go north and see the new grandbaby in August.
