[Highland Park] Thank you all!
by Patricia Emory 11 Oct '11

11 Oct '11

Over the past several months I've used this listserve to reach out for help in a variety of ways and I've never been disappointed. I've asked about everything from teaching abroad to where to deposit my cat who just couldn't keep it in the box. ( she's on a farm in new castle btw) I've looked for running buddies and bambinos to babysit. Most recently I inquired about nutritional services and, of course, was not disappointed. I just wanted to say thanks! Patti ps I discovered I really don't like running but I love yoga and walking. Anyone is welcome to join me for either.
