Dear Friends all over Pierce County: This is the most awful posting I¹ve ever had to do! I must cancel the June 28 BIG BACKYARD POTLUCK. Several Complications! I had a total hip replacement middle of March. There has been a glitch and I¹m barely hobbling around like a cripple, unable to take care of anything but my own personal care ...... The prognosis is good, I¹ll be fine by the middle of the summer. PLUS my huge family INSISTS THAT I CLEAR MY CALENDAR. Since they are my principal caregivers, I¹m stuck. Please help pass the word to all the outdoor recreation and conservation agencies and orgs. Can I just say ‹ ³We¹ll do it again in Summer Solstice week 2013!² So sorry, Apologetically, Helen Engle hengle@iinet.com
