BUT, I WILL MAKE IT THERE AS SOON AS WE HAVE ANOTHER. I ALSO PLAN TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE MYSELF SOMETIME THIS YEAR AND I HOPE I CAN GET A BUNCH OF CAJUNS UNDER ONE ROOF.. I WILL MISS SEEING YOU ALL.....I CAN'T WAIT TO MEET EVERYONE FROM THE LA BOARD.....I LOVE YOU ALL...... WITH MUCH LOVE AND HUGS. KIM
