Hey Beautiful, Hadn't been around too much but I come here this pm to post the weekly stuff and I see you and for some reason I am soooo emotional lately and can I say to you that you are absolutely beautiful??? I am so proud of you and to be at goal is such a wonderful accomplishment. What an inspiration and a success story even amongst all the medical issues. Thank you for gracing us with you smile! You look just marvelous! Kitty Kat

Thanks, KK! I feel beautiful. Took alot of time to be able to feel that. Hopefully the medical issues are a thing of the past for me. Hugs, Kathy

Way to go, Kathy! You are truly amazing! JoAnn
