Lisa - I'm doing ok, just moving slowly and taking it easy. There is nothing to do for it other than let it heal. My dogs are my biggest problem as taking them outside on a leash sometimes I get jerked around as they don't mind very well....I wonder who is to blame for that?

I'm still planning to go to Vegas on the 14th. Once there, I'm not worried, it's the airport hassle that worries me. However I made arrangements for a wheelchair for inside the terminal to get me to the gate so that should help.

CONGRATULATIONS, Queen Adelaide!!!! Being a grandmother is wonderful. Before long June will be here and we will all be happy to have a new little pink hatter with us. Tell the new parents congratulations also.

Thanks for asking, Queen Adelaide. It went well. There were 8 of us that met at a restaurant called My Big Fat Greek Restaurant. Everyone was regaled in their red hats and purple clothing. We sort of got off to a slow start as I came down with the H1N1 virus the first week of January but am doing well now.

Thanks so much for the good wishes. We are having our first gathering on January 18th. Hopefully by that time I will know a little bit more about the Red Hat Society.
