the timeing at work will not be the best but for you, my dear, I will take the WHOLE day off!!! As time gets closer we will work out whatever we need too.
We will have to plan (maybe next year) a central meeting. That would be so much fun!! Anybody and everybody who could make it could come. Maybe we could make it in Gatlinburg and everyone could have a mini vacation. Just a weekend and we could all sit around on the cabin porches and talk about kitties!!!
