ReplyDeleteHi Linda,
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. I hope you get lots of good submissions. If time permits, I might send something myself.
Best,
Donna
Sounds like a lot of fun - I'll check it out! :)
ReplyDeleteForties, huh? Can I remember back that far?
ReplyDeleteWell, I've had my share of Margaritas-and I'm a Momma. I think I'm uniquely qualified to submit to this call out! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting; I'm tweeting this! I will probably give it a try!
ReplyDeleteHey Ladies,
ReplyDeleteThanks for leaving comments.I could use a margarita right now. Cari broke her collar bone last night in her soccer game. The good news is she does not need surgery. The bad news is she won't be able to play for 6 weeks.

Oh, Donna! I'm so sorry to hear about Cari's broken collar bone! Ouch!...and thanks for posting the Hot Flash Mommas info! I would've sworn I left a comment on here yesterday, but it's not here...so....who knows what happened??
ReplyDeleteHi Becky,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words about Cari. It's going to be a long six weeks.
I'm not sure what happened to your earlier comment. Technology is great--when it works.
