She's doing really well but she won't be able to drive for a while. I'm not sure if I will make it to dance tonight. I'm going to try to be there next week. My vacation ended yesterday and I'm back at work. It was so hot yesterday! I've been inside more on my vacation and got spoiled. I miss you all and I hope you have fun tonight! I hope to see you next week. :-) Carolyn REBECCA ROBERTS writes in part: Dear Friends Hamish our youngest son has been asked to play rugby for the USA U19 team - he is officially a Junior Eagle We have just returned from Canada where they played two games as a kick off to their year as Eagles. Next month he has to travel to Guyana for a couple of weeks for games to qualify for the World Cup to be held in Ireland next year. Their coach asks the boys to fundraise for these events as the costs are so high, it is an element of amateur sports and Olympic sports across the country. A tax deductible donation check can be made out to USA Rugby and sent to us at 5214 Pinewood Springs Drive Houston Texas 77066 and we will send it on We appreciate your help as Hamish steps onto the International stage in his chosen sport. as aye R Rebecca L B Roberts ED FULLER is in the VA Hospital for surgery and will be away from dancing for a while; he left a message saying he'd let me know how the surgery goes; phone numbers at the VA Hospital are 713 791 1414 or 1 800 827 1000. LISA SCHUSTER (a member of the Celtic Chorus who has danced with us occasionally and had to leave on short notice to teach in Ft. Yukon, Alaska - photo click here) - writes in part: Hi Dianna, I've got another shameless plea. I didn't have time to pack up everything, and I'm asking anyone who might want to lend a hand to help me. A couple friends of mine are handling everything, if anyone from the chorus might have some free time to go over to my apartment and pack some things up and maybe take a couple boxes over to the storage. I know it's burning up there, and other people have lives, but just in case, my friend Victoria's number is 713-783-6097. Thank you so much, Missing everyone, Lisa BECKY DODGE: FLYING GHILLIES COLLECTION If you haven't yet read through the dances in this collection then by all means do so.
