Today is Go Red Day in recognition of heart disease awareness in women.  At work it was nice to see many of the staff members, both men and women, wearing red.

As I type this, my Aunt (Aint) Faye is in the hospital now suffering from congestive heart failure. Get well soon Aint Faye so we can partner up on another spades game again. I won't even fuss at you for sandbagging this time. I also won't make fun of you squinting because you "forgot" to wear your glasses while we're playing... Okay, I can't really promise you that one! LOL!

"What are those? Spades or clubs?"

"Neither Aint Faye...those are hearts."

"Really? Umpf...look-a-yonduh!"

As a member of the Mindsay Estrogen Network or (M.E.N.) (okay, so I made this up), I want to remind all of my Sisters that we need to get our yearly check-ups and keep an eye on our weight,blood pressure and HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. If you smoke, quit or at least try to slow down. Limit your caffeine intake and become more physically active.

I promised Sandyquill that I would take a picture of myself wearing my red today.

Love ya Ainny Faye!
