Oh Pat, that is so wonderful for Masu.  I absolutely think the world of Masu, it was so good to see her on my last visit to Florida.  If you could send me her address, I don't think I have it anymore, I would love to send her a card even though I know she will not be able to read it, she will at least know I am thinking of her.  Plus I will call her after her party.  Hope all of you are doing well..  We are finally having some warm weather after that awful winter.  Take care and Bless you all, Sheila --- On Thu, 6/4/09, Pat <psulli1002@aol.com> wrote: From: Pat <psulli1002@aol.com> Subject: [sunshinesporthorse] Masu Hamacher's Birthday Party To: sunshinesporthorse@yahoogroups.com Date: Thursday, June 4, 2009, 8:00 PM Don't read this to Masu!!! This Saturday, June 9, 2009, Masu's son Eric is hosting a birthday party luncheon for her. It's a surprise. She is celebrating entering her 8th decade! Masu has had a couple of tough months. She has macular degeneration and is now nearly blind. It has been very tough for this "old gal" to give up her fierce independence. She still has lots of spunk, though... You are invited to come visit and meet her son, see her horses, and celebrate her birthday at 12 noon. Eric is doing the food preparation! Please call Eric if you can come, so he knows how many are coming. His cell phone is 352-727-3544. Home phone is 352-331-8234. See you on Saturday! Pat Sullivan
