Have a nice weekend, all! Jersey was so cold, but I did get to meet one of my fav NBA players, Shawn Marion, who plays 4 Toronto. My son got to meet WNBA star, Lisa Leslie, they are both 6'7, DANG! Trying to go see one of my favorite entertainers this weekend, Mike Phillips. Enjoy his music! Shirley & Marcy > > > A mom was concerned about her > > > kindergarten son walking to school.
