0:00.0	Welcome back to hashtag Sisters in Law with Joyce Fants, Barb McQuaid, Jill Wine Banks,
0:17.7	and me, D. John Sauer. No, it's, it's Kim Atkins' store, but I do have a raspy voice today because it's the first week of
0:28.0	April. And for those of you who know here in D.C. our cherry blossoms are at peak, but when that happens,
0:35.6	so is my hay fever. So I ask your forgiveness as we get through
0:40.1	this show, because I did not want to miss it because a lot happened in this week newswise.
0:46.2	And I just wanted to see my sisters and hash through it all. And I wanted to be here to make
0:52.6	sure that you know that in Denver, Colorado, folks,

1:59.9	But we're doing it all on camera now. You guys,
2:02.6	are you excited about this, Jill? I am. I guess it's a new thing for us and it's fun because we get
2:10.8	to see each other every week, even though we don't broadcast it. But now everybody can see us
2:16.4	and how silly we act and how we interact and how we love each
2:20.1	other.
2:20.5	So it's really good.
2:22.4	What do you think, Joyce?
2:24.0	You know, I'm the least photogenic of the sisters.
