Afternoon Sisters...Hope you are all doing well today.  
Just want to let you know something about my MIL in FL...She when for some test last week and they found what they think is a mass on her kidney...She has had problems before in the past and she has what they call a "floating kidney".  Today she went to talk to her doctor about the test and her heart rate was so fast they admited her so they could get her stable to do a CT scan...No news yet but hubby will probably be driving down sometime this weekend.  Airfares are out of this world and he hates flying anyway...He is trying to get is sister in NC to go with him...This is tough her being there after so many years here near us all.

I will keep you updated so a few prayers would be greatly appreciated.  

I hope that everything will be okay.  Must be really hard for her not only to be far away for you and her son, but to have a new doctor to have to "get to know" and trust.  I am not familiar with the floating kidney, but I do hope that the mass is nothing too serious.  HUGS.......please keep us posted.

Thanks Luv...heard from my SIL and it is a cyst on her kidney and she has afib but her pulse is good now.  She is staying overnight at the hospital and the dr will see her in the morning.

Shark Tank Renewed for Season 9 with Slate of Guest Sharks


Shark Tank, the critically acclaimed and Emmy-winning business-themed reality show, which has reinvigorated entrepreneurship in America, has been renewed for a ninth season, returning in Fall 2017, and will bring several exciting new guest Sharks into the Tank. The guest Sharks, who are icons and trailblazers in their respective business fields, will appear individually alongside four other Sharks in various episodes during the 2017-2018 season.The guest Sharks are (alphabetically):

Sara Blakely: Blakely is the founder and sole owner of Spanx, the brand that is constantly inventing more comfortable undergarment options for women that just happen to also make your butt and gut look amazing, and now, thankfully, makes killer leggings, too! The brand was born from a simple goal – find something to wear under white pants to make them more flattering. After some creativity with scissors and control top pantyhose, Spanx is now a successful business with offerings that extend far beyond its original shapewear. In 2006, Sara also founded her eponymous foundation, which has set aside millions of dollars to empower and elevate women and girls. She also created the Leg Up initiative, which empowers female entrepreneurs to build successful businesses and create economic opportunity in their communities. Sara lives in Atlanta with her husband and four kids. Sara is an advocate of women being whatever they want to be, but most importantly being their own boss!

 Richard Branson: The English businessman is a serial entrepreneur, investor and philanthropist. He founded the Virgin Group, which has created more than 400 companies spanning travel, financial services, telecom, health & wellness and more recently, space travel. At the age of sixteen his first business venture was a magazine called Student. In 1970, he set up a mail-order record business. In 1971, he opened the first of a chain of Virgin record stores, later known as Virgin Megastores. Branson's Virgin brand grew rapidly during the 1980s, as he set up Virgin Atlantic airline and expanded the Virgin Records music label. In 1999, Branson was knighted at Buckingham Palace for "services to entrepreneurship." For his work in retail, music and transport (with interests in land, air, sea and space travel), his taste for adventure and for his humanitarian work, he became one of the most prominent figures in British culture. In 2002, he was named in the BBC's poll of the 100 Greatest Britons. In January 2016, Forbes listed Branson's estimated net worth at $5.2 billion. (Twitter: @richardbranson)
