SO....Dennis and I are sitting in my living room with my beautiful son, Jordan.  We want to let all of our great and personal friends (some newer, some more experienced) know how wonderful it was to spend the day with them.
Seeing each of you is a great and allowably selfish way to stoke our fires and remember where we come from.  Each and everyone of you makes us feel special and loved.
We started the day with a walk with Jackie Smith across the Conshi bridge and back.  We met up with Kimberly Burke, Linda Slavin, Susan Burkette, Stephanie (my son says that Stephanie in some language means "Queen"-he is SO right!).  Soon we saw Cheryl Schulman, Jackie Jacobson, Arlene Elfman, Laureen Scimeca, Dolores Vitzhum, Dolores Bowles, Lois Gadomski, Jennifer Finley, Lesley, Melonie, Melinda, Debbie McKinley-Hastings and HER PRE-OP MOM SANDY!!!, Pat Delaney, Debbie Ross, Joann Hammond, Cheryl Trotter, Liz Radlbeck, Nicole Lewis and Jason Keeber, Dawn Hill, Tia Rideout, Geri Labovick, Sheraine Arbitsman, Julie Akyol, Gerry Lavin, Jayne Wallace, Coni Ward, Doctor Janine Kyrillos, Sister Jan Kelly, Kim Zaffino, Karen Moore, Karen Baack, Tammy Williams, Eileen Walton, Jen Oldaker and Patrice Smith and Sharon back from Dennis' early days.  Who did we miss in this listing?????  PLEASE help us fill in our blanks!  This list left us bald and drooling in an attempt to compile it        !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We also want to say hello to our NEW friend Ramon "Shrinkin' Dawg" Lopez and his GF Deb.
We hope that you will ALL put a priority on attending the 6th meeting of the PA Pilgrimage in May of 2009.  Look for postings in the coming months on this board as well as other neighboring state boards!

Shauna and Dennis,
You guys are GREAT!!!  Today passed by too quickly.  It was great to see many of the folks from the PA Pilgrammage (which ROCKED!!!, incase anyone didn't go last Spring!!), but I wished we would have had more "social" time....maybe next May.  All the same, it was a fun day of learning and getting inspired.  You guys ARE special, and loved!!  See yas at the next Pilgrammage.

Today's OH Event, was a good event, and it was nice to see friends made along this journey, make some new ones and meet people from the boards, etc., however, the PA Pilgrimage, well folks, that is truly an awesome event!   And if you know me at all, you know I speak from my heart.

Hope everyone arrived home safely and looking forward to seeing you somewhere, sometime soon!

Hugs, Laureen

Sjauna - you hit it right on the head - this was a fantastic local event for us to all get together! I was so wonderful to see everyone and meet a few new friends, Joe and his Friend Jeanine (sorry if I spelled this wrong!) sat with us as well as Sherry I believe and her mom.(Sorry again if I forgot your names, I am still not back in my "normal" state of mind!) But it was a pleasure sitting and talking with you and we hope to see you more active on the boards now that you have friends!

OH - Thank You so much for bringing this to us - we are truely grateful - Philly will never dissappoint!!!

Ramon - you are truly an inspiration - we hope that you and Deb can make it to PA for the Pilgrimage - we promise a wonderful time!

Liz
