Lisa - the "tummy tuck" is definitely a fringe benefit. Wish I could convince him to take some of the hips & thighs as well, but I'll be thankful to lose a bit of the pudge that's crept on these past years. In fact, before I gaine some weight I'm not sure the surgery would have been possible (the mastectomy would have been....but maybe not this type of reconstruction). Sue/WDW1972

Unless things just completely fall apart at work, Mr. and Mrs. Bashful should be making a bashful appearance this December. Tentative plans have us driving this time (might be asking for some advice on that soon!), and we'd probably be leaving pretty much right after the big meet (staying Dec. 4 - 11), but since we survived the last one, we will probably get up the gumption to lurk at this year's gathering, too. -- Kitty (TDC Bashful) remove "whiskers" to e-mail |
