    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
