Laura,

That looks tasty and yummy.  I may have to make that.  I am going to the fresh market tonight so I am just going to have to pick up some supplies and give that a try.  How is Olivia.  I just fell in love with her.  I wanted to take her and Isla home with me, but we did not have room in the car or betcha a dolllar to a donut, they would have been packed up sitting her in my kitchen eating treats.  Maybe even this Mango Salsa!  It was such a joy meeting all of the northern ladies, what a great bunch.  Give Olivia a hug from me and  get one back yourself for me.  Have a great day.

Hugs back to you too, Rhonda.  From me and Olivia.  Everyone is so kind and generous with her.  Thanks All...... 

It was so cool that you and Janine made your surprise appearance at the luncheon.  There was just not enough visiting time that day, so for sure you're going to have to come back!!

When you come this way for your rafting trip with MoMo you may have some of party-crashers wanting to hang around!!!  Just be forewarned.....

I hope you try this salad...I loved it.

Laura I sure think you are a wonderful person and your daughter Oliva is a real jewel for sure! I also liked your friend a lot...I can't remember her name, but please tell her hi from me!

I am coming back up there soon with Jeff and I sure would like to meet up with you again!

Most definitely!!!  ....one afternoon (or 2 or 20 probably) is just not enough visiting time

My friend is Debbie.  She had surgery the summer of '04.   She was not very active on the boards....but I'm working on her
