Handing Over the Reigns of Responsibility

Dear Leah,
I thought you did an excellent job this year! [But, then again--You ALWAYS do a GREAT job being in charge.] The only difference I noted was that this year you seemed deep in thought a good bit--but, I attributed this to someone with a lot on their mind--someone who wanted to make certain nothing fell between the cracks.
I know you will have difficult decisions to make in the future--maybe to start with would be let Kitty take over the organizing--and you simply be EMCEE....you are a born speaker. Of all of us first cousins--you are [without a doubt] the best speaker--the most natural and entertaining one. [smile]
I hope you do not mind--but, I sent your blog info to Sandra's family [Terry Leigh, Greg, and Jeff] and suggested they check it out and give you comments from time to time. [smile]
Love and blessings always, Connie Leigh

I love having people read my blogs and give me feedback. Thank you for you kind words. I guess I appeared to be deep in thought because it was taking so much from me to handle all that was going on. I hope to hear back from terri, etc. in the future.
love ya, Leah
