Hey everyone!!! I just wanted to say hello to all friends, old and new......I really am still alive!!!I've been away for quite a while....besides my computer being on the fritz, I've had so much going on in my life, I can't even begin to tell you.....husband broke and dislocated ankle & broke leg in Feb on ice-surgery-still off work-completely helpless....mother very sick-pancreus problems-tests in St. Louis on Friday-hoping not cancer-been sick for over a year now.....son graduated 8th grade.....nephew getting married to psychopath on Sat-made all the flowers....husband's place of work closing, but he got on in another departmaent....family drama with niece and nephews.....I won't bore you with anymore...that just gives you a taste of what's been going on in my life. I feel like I've been away forever!!!! I've missed you all so much....I've tried to keep my ears open for news of Gerry....I can't believe I missed the virtual con...I was there every second last year!!!!I hope you all had a good time....hope to be back around alot more in the near future. Hopefully my life wil slow down a little bit soon.....STOP THE WORLD!!!! I WANT TO GET OFF!!!!

WOW!!!! I really need a dose of that!!!Gerry looks delicious as usual!!! Is it just me or are those hi-lights in his hair???Wonder if they are natural from the sun in Hawaii???Either way, it looks gooooooood.....

I will try my best to send a little something in the next week or so, but unfortunately it probably won't be much, since my husband is currently off work due to a broken and dislocated ankle and broken leg and is awaiting surgery on the 21st of Feb. I will try....

Well, it's the same old response from me....MONEY.....it's always the money!!!I was lucky enough to attend by myself in 07 and then brought my hubby in 08....I had the time of my life both times..will never forget my experience in 07(thank you, Dayna)...so definately, if you can go, DO IT!!!!I went all by myself the first time....had never been on a plane in my life.....never been on a trip alone....heck, I had only been out of my home state twice in my whole life...but I went....and I have memories that will last me the rest of my life. If the money wasn't an issue, I would be there in a heartbeat....I will attend the virtual con, no doubt, it helps with the "Vegas blues".....last year I even got to talk to Reno!!So, GOOOOO!!!!!

Was this in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic? My sister honeymooned there a couple of years ago. Just wondering.

Just wanted to share this little bit of "feel good" news. In Oct my son's school participated in the event "Volley for the Cure". If you're not familiar with these events, at a designated high school girls volleyball game, the players, the fans, the coaches....everyone wears pick for the Susan G Komen Foundation. All money raised by ticket sales, t-shirt sales, and fundraisers(pay to wear pick to school), his school raised over $9000 dollars and was the most raised by any school in our entire state of Illinois. A Komen rep was at the school today for a "pink" rally to present him with the check.....pretty proud.....

Wow! Thanks, Holly. For some reason all this time I thought the bag was brown. I guess, I had never really seen a pic of it before. Oh well, he probably saves it for special occasions.

THE CHEST HAIR Just beautiful. I love his taste in hats. I've always wanted to know where his bag was from. It's his favorite. I'm just wondering, ladies, isn't that "the bag" that GALS had made for and gave to Gerry in Vegas 06???It does seem to be his favorite and it's look rather worn and well used....regardless of his hair, what he is wearing...the man is just the definition of

Polar Bear, I just wanted to add my thanks to the long list.....us GALS really appreciate people like you, that see the same beautiful person that we see in Gerry and in turn respect him and his "business". Your pic was terrific....so nice of you to share with us.....you seem like a really genuine nice guy...welcome to GALS and don't be shy.....we are really cool to hang with...
