Yo! - 7/12/15

Happy Sunday to us all!

It's typical July Philly weather. We are very fortunate to have had only a small drought period during the spring, unlike so many of our fellow citizens in the West.

I know, I know. I haven't been here, but I have been thinking about all of you.

I have been tied in knots with some very serious health issues in my family. Dealing with them, and the anxiety included in the package, has left me innert. I hope that has passed and I'd be able to be back here on a more regular basis.

A secondary reason for not being here is that I really, REALLY hate the new format of the FORUM. I was here when it first appeared and got quite frustrated trying to negotiate it. I still haven't figured out how to insert my Rita Rudner quote! Njgirl has nugged and nugged me, ever so gently, to get back on the Forum, so here I am. I loved interacting with you before and I know, once I figure out how to use it, will love being here again.

I was very fortunate to be able to attend the Live Audience Show and spend time with a truly amazing group of women. Everything was fabulous and I hope that someday all of you will be able to experience the delight of an audience show. I thought of trying to get on the Forum to interact with you during the 9PM show, but lack of sleep prevented my thoughts being turned into action. I hoped everyone had a great time discussing during the shows.

My DGD, no longer a toddler, is excellent and turned four in June. Can you believe it - FOUR! Her curiosity knows no bounds and questions just tumble from her mouth as so much expelled air. If possible, she gets more delightful with each day.

I must away. I hope everyone is well and enjoying the summer.

Make it a great day!

Sorry it has been rough for you and your family. But glad you could join the Live Audience show. One day I hope to attend that. Wow, it is hard to believe your DGD is 4!

Welcome home Kaplan! Great to hear from you. Sorry about the health issues

worrying you. Will keep you and your family in my prayers. Since you were at

the Live show could you give us your honest opinion of the TSV bracelet? Did you

think it was a good weight and Ripkanised enough? Which color did you think look

the best? Always good to get a hands on review.

I ordered two of them, silver and YG, but can you believe that I didn't actually feel/touch/pick up any. There was so much going on that I totally forgot. In fact, while I was in the studio store for a reception, I did not look at a darn thing.

I am a dork, and 6 foot at that.
