I had a very good time last night.....thank you Lucy for all you did to make this happen.
The theme of the night was "Barry change your avatar pic" he is nothing at all of what his avatar portrays! What a cutie you are!
Lucy, thank you for the "sex" talk I needed to know about all you and Val told me! LOL So if I ever get a life I'll know what to expect. Naughty Lucy! Carol change your avatar too! You are so pretty that you need to post a pic of yourself! Gotta say those kids last night where perfect.....so well manored! I love meeting all of you it's so funny to put the pictures and on line chatting with the real you! I am ready for another get together, this summer would be good! I think we are very blessed to have the connection with all of us.....doesn't usually happen! Dave you and Christine are GEMS! Kim you looked so nice last night.....you were just glowing! Lucy lets go out and play now that I know where you live! Maybe I won't get lost coming to your house next time.....I'm sure Dawn understands where I'm coming from on that!
All I can say is WOW!!! What a great time was had. It was such a treat to meet everybody and see just how beautiful all of you are. If I had any doubt about the success of WLS before last night, there's none now. I feel so privledged to be allowed in this group of wonderful folks! Lucy, you must be thanked a million times over. You provided such a nice space and such graciousness in welcoming everybody. And talk about a spread of wonderful food! I'm counting the days until our next get together.

P.S. Barry, although I agree that your picture doesn't even begin to say how much you've changed, I've always gotten a chuckle out of the expression on your face. I look forward to hanging out with you again. And like I said last night, I'll teach you how to cook in short order (no pun intended!).
Barry and Paul, I just wanted to say that you two add such a great dimension to the IL board. All the rest of us ladies love having you here. You know I think that I will create a profile for Dave so he can come and post whenever he is up to it (or Chris tells him to), LOL. I will put a different avatar up so you all know which is which - him or me.

Thank you Miss Lucy for having us at your place this weekend!
I'm glad to see you are happy today!
My husband and I both enjoyed ourselves at the get together.
He normally doesn't like to go places where he doesn't know anyone, but he enjoyed talking with Dave and Jim. I think it reassured him talking and listening to people about their journeys.
I was sooo glad I came and was able to meet and talk with everyone. I only wish that there was more time to talk to more people individually. Lisa, I especially enjoyed talking with you!
Til we meet again....we have the OHIllinois board!
