Every year we have a big picnic at our house. Everyone goes to the parade and then comes over for the day. I love to shop at garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores, oops, forgot consignment shops. I have gained so much since finding OH. I have met a lot of wonderful people that stayed with me and supported me through all the processes leading up to the surgery, and after. I don't know what i would do without all of you. Have a great day, Rosemary

Great questions Dawn, thanks! 1. Do you have any plans for 4th of July? I am leaving tomorrow for CT, then going on to Cape Cod, but we will be home by the 4th. We will probably just go watch the fireworks in Albany. 2. What's one thing about yourself that we don't already know? I found out I was pregnant with Hanna 3 weeks after my husband and I met for the first time. 3 days later he was in jail for breaking parole It was quite a journey from that point on, but you would never know it now! We stuck it out and lived happily ever after.... 3. What's something that you have gained by finding OH? the courage to have this surgery and change my life, and of course ALL OF YOU! You all have changed my life, I always feel so cared about and special when i come here. Karyn
