Dear Carolyn, I wanted so badly to be at the picnic. Even though I had a melanoma cancer taken from my leg, I thought I could go but the doctor told me today I must take it easy for a bit longer. So sorry not to meet you, my cousin, as well as many more that will be there. Your Picnic Story Book -- I would love a copy or a CD if you have one and will sell it to me. If that is possible, give me the price on my email line. My address is: Wilma Lawson Padgett, 8820 Walther Blvd., Apt. 2109, Parkville, MD 21234. My email add: [email protected] Have a nice time and look for my cousin, Connie Webb who plans to be there.

Hi, Wilma, I'm so glad that you caught the melanoma before it spread! The important thing now is for you to let it heal properly. Don't do anything to endanger that! I am also sorry to miss seeing you there, but will get you a cd if there is not a book available. I confess now that I failed to put in all but one of your photos with your story, but we had a time separating them from the text. Next time you might want to send the photos separately. I can print them on a separate piece of paper and we can put them into your book, somehow. Let me see the finished product and I'll know how to handle it better. Allison, bless her, had them printed and bound in Texas. Continue to heal, cousin, and be in top shape by Christmas! As for the picnic... there will be another.

Carolyn, thank you for the kind words. It is ok that only one picture got in. If you want to paste them in or send them in a book for me, I will be happy. If you can hold a book for me and if you want money now, let me know.
