WITH MUCH REGRET, EXCITEMENT, ANTICIPATION, AND SADNESS

I’m having a birthday….not one I was looking forward to….until I got the bright idea to have my own birthday party…..so I am. Here’s the regret….. I had to figure out a guest list because I’m inviting family and local friends…..and I had a list of my last get-together in Texas for the The Great Texas Slumber Party Adventure. There were 21 in attendance and it was just about all that was manageable. So I started there. Figured that I’d see who would be willing to come share my special day with me and if there was room, I’d open it up to the board. Never in my wildest imagination did I figure that the reception again would have been so great. So the excitement and anticipation is that I’m seeing old friends again and the sadness is that I couldn’t open it up to the board this time. I know the Dallas Sistahs have been sitting on this and wanting to share and I had asked them not to until I had a chance to share it with you personally. I know they will have pictures and stories to tell and I don't want to take that away from them. Please know that if I could have figured out a way to have had every one of you, I would have. There will be another one, I’m sure, and then it won’t involve so many people from the ‘other’ side of my life; ie, family and local friends. Thanks for understanding. Janet
