What a nice get-together! So good to meet people "in the flesh."

Dave, thanks so much for making it happen. It was low-key at a great place that really took care of us. The bleu cheese dressing WAS awesome and so was the pizza! And I DID hit the resale shop, cooties and all, and bought 3 pairs of pants in the next size down (dare to dream, right?).

Your family was really cool to come along. They were so nice! I promised your sister-in-law I would send you the link to this Thomas the Tank train event, in case they are still in town this summer. (June in Indiana, August in Illinois). It's a hoot!

Eileen, your daughter is a cutie! I cannot believe we both know Cindy! Small world, for sure!

Kim, so glad we got to chat at the very end there. You are a great mom and your daughter is a lucky girl to have you in her corner!

Dawn, you are a stitch! So nice to get to chat about vitamins, kids and life.

Nancy, you are a wise lady with a keen fashion sense--loved the top! We should all have boutique connections in the French Quarter!

Carol, you are even lovelier in person. (Although we didn't glimpse the tattoo in person. LOL). Your hubby is a very nice man, too.

For those I didn't get a chance to chat with, I hope we can get to know each other at the next gathering!

Dave-Thanks for co-ordinating our get together. The place was laid back and reasonably priced for all of us.
It was so nice to meet you, Randy and Cheryl, Ilse, Karen and Nicolle. Now it actually feels like I really know who you are.
It was great seeing Dawn, Nancy, Eileen and Brigid, Lisa, Christine and Dave, Kim and Angie again.
It seems like everytime we get together more people show up. To those that missed this one, try for the next one.
I've got to check out the pictures now.
Edited to add: While I was talking with Angie, there was a couple that was sitting in the booth behind Dawn. I heard the woman say to the man with her, "I don't normally eavesdrop on conversations, but their conversations are interesting." So I believe we made some one else's day with our conversations.  By the way, Dave- nice pictures. I'll upload mine later.

Dave thank you for putting this get together, together!
I so enjoyed talking to everyone. It is nice to put voices together with faces. You are truly a great group.

Dave and Christine its always nice to see ya both.

Dave glad Christine scolded you for your high speed driving, you have worked to hard to get healthy so you can live longer to waste it on a accident!! Slow down!

For those who I did get to chat with I enjoyed your visit. Those who I did not get to speak with sorry we will be sure to talk next time. llse thanks for helping me get out of my parking spot!

Dave,

Thanks for setting up the get together!  Brigid and I had a wonderful time!

It was so good to see everyone again and catch up "in person".  We had such a good turn out and hope to be able to see more of us at the next get together.

It is always so nice to talk to people in person, and so much more relaxing than sitting in front of a screen typing. 

Dave, it was nice meeting your family and learning all about them, and their mission.  You have a beg and wonderful family and I hope you all had a great weekend at the hotel.  Thanks again for settin up the day, it was great!

I look forward to the next one...hopefully coming soon!  I was talking to Nancy and she mentioned us coming her way for a change.... I say ....ROAD TRIP!  From what she says, there is alot to do her way and we could make a day or overnight of it, and give her and Lisa a break from the long drives.

Hope to see you all again soon!

Miss the ones who could not make it.

Eileen
