Hey, Stacy--I live by the beach! Come visit me--forget Australia and those girls down under. In fact, I'm going to a beach retreat next weekend (intended for cropping--we'll see); join us!
Woooohooooo! I made it onto the list ;)
Theona - Stacy most certainly will not forget Australia and those girls down under. Eat your words! LOL
Stace,
by the way Saturday singing was wonderful that is what gets me the most at funerals, the songs.... anyway i emailed you but you don't like to answer emails I see!
Love ya
karen
Stacy,
I will admit I have nothing on Princess Ravonica or the Witty Melissa (or her blue-eyed DH!). I humbly offer white sand beaches with strawberry dacquiris offered in the shade of lovely, green palm trees by yours truly. :p
Stacy,
First, you MUST see the beach. I can't believe anyone has not been to the beach. It is the best and most peaceful place in the world.
Second, if you want to take Dani to Broadway, come and stay with me. I am a mere ferry ride away from the city. I have a really funny 14 year old son who needs to see a Broadway show before he gets too old to want to be seen with his mom.
Third, if you don't take up Theona on her offer, I will.
