Dearest Traci,
May God's love and light be upon you. Wishing you an uneventful surgery and a complete recovery. I am also from Michigan, the downriver area. I can't wait to join you on the loser's side! Health and Happiness to you.
And I agree with all those items you listed on your page of the things you want to do. I just have one concern. Without my huge overflowing lap, how will I ever keep my hands warm in the winter? lol!
