Oh Krisa, thanks and yes this Bronchitis has not made me a happy camper but we are on the upswing and my hands just don't know what to do if there isn't a keyboard handy.
Josie, good grief what a shame you were unable to attend the Tea living so close to the event itself! But it is understandable. They will most likely have one again next year and hopefully you will be able to go meet everyone. I really hope you can go and if you do be sure and go up to one of the Foundation members and introduce yourself.
If you live that close to the Riverside Square Mall than I have to say the area is so pretty with the trees, a bit of windy, curvy roads, small village type shopping. Reminds me a small bit of where I live which is very rural with windy and curvy roads, living in the woods but no interesting shopping sad to say and much more spread out. Not having been in that area it was a surprise to see how beautiful it was and so many trees that close to NYC.
