Breakfast with WLSers!

Well, it was another great breakfast with all my fellow WLSers!!! I was so pleased to see all of you and hope that more people will join us in the future! Everyone looked wonderful and the conversation was stimulating. Thank you to our spouses and significant others for being gracious enough to put up with our sometimes gross topics. Trisha... you are gorgeous, girl! Rest and heal and let me know if you need anything. Joe and I are thinking about having a BBQ at our house, sometime this summer. I think it would be nice to get together here, so we can talk surgery, plastics and skin to our heart's content! Good to see all of you. Take good care of yourselves. Joy

I WOULD LOVE to have a Salem Area breakfast- or lunch- or something-

Hi Deawn! Well, get something going and see who could make it. I'd love to meet you and any others who might come! Joy

pssssssssssst....... you can come up here. It isn't that far, AND we can scheule one south of Portland, say Wilsonville so the Salem, etc people can attend. Warning: LIVELY group. Everyone invited every time. tee

That would be great Joy! We had such a big table (which is great!!) that I feel like I hardly got to talk to some of you. If it weren't for the food in front of us, we could have done a rotation at half time! I love that some spouses joined us too. Mine would have, but he was in charge of getting the house ready for showing. The people showed up a half hour early and my daughter was in her undies with her bed not made. Not that they got to get in the door to see that! I liked the room set up. Though I didn't get to gab with everyone in depth - it still allowed for everyone to see and hear each other. I wish you had worn that dress again. It is just perfect on you! Kelly.....you look like you are glowing with good health. Keep up what you are doing and get ready for the next size down. As often is the case - it shows most and first in your face. Trish we may have to supervise you once your healing is done! Even with that hidden drain things were pretty perky up there! Kim that picture on the cell phone is amazing! Just wait until the real thing! Angel it was so great you came! You have got to bring smiles to people at every red light with that helmet. Lori it was so great to meet you! I now have a sweet soft voice to put to your pretty face. It's weird how often people end up being like I imagined them to be when I finally meet them in person. Tee - just like you to have them put a big plaque with your name on it! This is the first time I've seen you since your trip. You look marvelous darling! You and Greg are so great together. Thanks for the vote of confidence on the house. SELL SELL SELL!!!!! It would have been a real treat to have to kill time until 3:00 without the family, but I drew the short straw and had the dogs. I ended up being really nice and taking them to the dog park. I've been accused of being too much involved in the business of dogs when I go. I get a bit self conscious because my little male Rat Terrier gets obsessed with humping dogs. He's neutered and I know it's all about dominance not sex, but sometimes he gets a bit much. Neither dog is aggressive and can fend for themselves, so my husband advised I stay out of the business of dogs. The problem is when he meets a dog that doesn't care (or notice) and it's usually some huge dog that makes him look ridiculous. He's come home with his stomach chafed! Today was good...a Jack Russel told him to take a hike in no uncertain terms. It is pretty good for the soul to watch a bunch of dogs socialize. They are so darn happy! Have a great week everyone! Patty

Patty, It was great seeing you, but I'd love to have been able to actually visit with you more. I am keeping all my appendages crossed, in hopes that you sell that house soon! See you soon! Joy

Ah thanks, Patty! The "girls" aren't as swollen as they have been and all drains are out. I'm out of state right now doing the "relative" tour up in the Seattle area. The sun has been shining enough to be outside enjoying it streaming through the tall firs and making dappled patterns on the blanket upon which I'm writing this. I still get tired as the day goes on, but every day is a hair better than the last so I hope I will be back to normal by next week for work. How did the open house go? Trisha

Had a great time! WEIRD.......Gee said the same thing as Jow when we got home. We should have a BBQ at J and J's. Just kidding, maybe we'll have two during the summer? Maybe a clothing exchange,too, at my house. Anyone? tee

Ahhhh! Two great minds with but one single thought! A clothing exchange sounds like fun! Say! Do either of you know anything about redoing fireplace facades? J thinks it would cost too much, but I would like to find out if it's possible. Ours is really terrible and resurfacing it would do wonders for the room. Catch ya later! Joy

We know everything about everything, lol. I'm certain we could have a look and tell you what your options are. Give me a call~ tee
