HI FROM JANET

I just celebrated my 60th birthday which is cause for great celebration. Ten years ago, as I was approaching my 50th birthday, I told my friends that I didn't want to be 50. A few weeks later, I was diagnosed with breast cancer and almost got my wish, which is why this time I'm delighted to say "bring it on!" Here is a picture of my two fabulous children who I shared my special day with!
