Awwww Shucks!!!

You guys are SOOO sweet!! Thanks for all the kind words. I am just SO thrilled that everything turned out well. The weather held up, we got the secret pals done, the clothing exchange went well (I heard) and Kay..the bags are wonderful!! Great job!!! I had a couple of glitches on my name tags, but I hope those whose I had to write out will forgive me... I was literally BLOWN away at the turnout we had. How fabulous. It was so great to see the folks I have met before...got to actually chat with some of you this time...Charlotte, Lynn...YAY! And to meet so many new people! WOW!! (Tina..I owe you your batteries back, but THANKS! It saved the day, as you will see later when I get the pics up...) I so enjoyed meeting everyone, and since I will be a participant instead of an organizer next time, I plan to get to just sit and chit chat with those I didn't get to do that with this time!! I hope you will all come to the next one, whereever it may be!! Boy!! I was POOPED when I got home!! I sat at the computer and literally did not type a SINGLE thing!! I passed RIGHT out on my couch, and woke up about 4am when I (HORRORS!) knocked my laptop off the arm of the recliner couch...(it was ok..)... picked everything up and crawled up to bed...zzzzzzzzzzz...just got up around 10:30... It AWESOME to see each of you each month, and how fabulous you all look at the end of another month!! Isn't this surgery grand?? You know, I did it to get healthy..and this gettin' skinny thing is a GREAT side effect! LOL! To those of you still working on your surgery, I pray for an easy time getting your approvals and surgeries, recoveries... Take care all...and I'll "talk" to ya soon!! -Tami

You did such a great job! It turned out wonderful and I'm so grateful for the turn out, it was so much fun!

Does anyone know how many were there last night???? Harriett

If I am counting correctly, it is 52... WOW!

Tami, I was so sorry I had to dash out when I did, because there were so many people I didn't get to spend any time with. One of them was you. I wanted to tell you that you are one of the warmest most sincere people I've ever met. I know everyone here is feeling blessed today. Love, Lee
