Marli said… - Noticed you live in NC. Always looking for people to network with. I am a LPTA and I live in High Point NC. I work at a nursing facility and have been an ATRIC for about a year now. I am loving using the water as part of my therapy. Just thought I would drop a line and say hello!

- Hi Rosie,
Just joined the new Network. Looks like fun . . . and a neat way to stay in touch with you and other friends. I've felt kind of "out of it," without a regular pool setup, but live in a delightful new place in Indianola, WA (Google Map it and check out the satellite view to see what I mean). Hope you and Michael are well. Your FabriCaping looks like a beautiful ballet.

- Hello Rosemary - How did you come up with Fabricaping? It's such a delightful idea. Do you use it for therapy? Do people buy it just for fun also? Intrigued. Sara

Other thought: to provide another opportunity nearby for the car…
