Friday night dinner - in Richmond!

LOL - um, you're gonna HURT ME!! Sorry, I decided to snoop around and clicked on your profile to see if there was any info or pics (yes, Iz' nosy) on your hubby - I thought under the picture of him and your daughter, you called him James? So typcial Lei "I assumed" and that's what I just put on the most recent updated list. I'm sorry - I promise to correct it on the next posting!! LOL - unless you prefer the name James? We don't gotta tell him!!

Yeah, all the names got quite squished together, I need to fix that LOL.....Thats ok, we can call him Cleve from now on!

Hi, again, Lei Jon and I should be arriving at the hotel by 6pm at the latest...depending on traffic! Please count us in! My e-mail is: [email protected] Thanks, Lei

Hi Lei....Gotta stay with my "angels", Nat, Di, Jill, and hopefully Kat and Shannon...I guess count me in...my email is [email protected]. Hugs and can't wait to finally meet you....it is going to be a blast no matter where we end up. Hugs again Betsy

Consider yourself counted, sweet lady!! I'm so glad you'll be there - I know you're dealing with a LOTTA crap in your personal life. I think the upcoming Richmond weekend will be like a breath of fresh air infused with love, which in turn gives you the strength, determination and energy to break free from the past. CONGRATS on the upcoming move and the house!!! I saw that in a post last night, or maybe it was an OH Email response? ....but I can't find it now, so I can't respond to it direct. Wasn't about to let news that great go unnoticed, GOOD for you!

Hello friends ~*~*~*~*~ SEMI-RECAP! ~*~*~*~*~ I figured it'll be easier to keep track of what's going on and who's interested if I do "mini-updates" within the thread - then I'll start a new one tomorrow. So far, we have the following for dinner on Friday night: Lynda M (from FL) = 1 Natalie = 1 Paul & Leilani = 2 Nicole (aka Smu****) and hubby = 2 Jen G. & Hubby = 2 Jill D. & Jon D = 2 Dianna & Hubby = 2 Betsy = 1 Sub-Total = 13 So far, we have two suggestions for dinner - Richbrau and Tobacco Company. The biggest challenge (as already mentioned) is finding a place that can take such a large party on a Friday night, WITH reservations. I asked Nicole a few questions about the Richbrau and hopefully she'll be able to share some answers before the day is out. Also - also, what is the EARLIEST that you could join "us" for dinner? I honestly don't think that Paul and I will be in town before 5:00, so we could be ready by 6:00. I don't want that to be a problem for others though, so if meeting EARLIER is smarter, then please please please set it up that way "eating" is the least of my priorities and as long as we hook up on the dance floor at 9:00, I'm HAPPY! Unfortunately, our lives is kinda controlled by the Navy, so 6:00 is probably the "safest yet on da' edge" guestimate for us. Im heading out the door to get a few errands done (yes, including buying that lottery ticket) so it'll be a couple of hours before I can check back with the boards again. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for now - Lei

Hi, If I leave right after work, I should get down there by 7pm at the latest depending on traffic. I may be showing with without a room, so that may take awhile. My husband is an ole pooh and doesn't go on these outings with me any more. I guess five years of support meetings and functions just got to be too much for him. Sooo, I will be coming down alone. Anyway, if things change and I have to leave Saturday instead, I will let you know. Anyone wanna give me their cell phone number? Paula

Count me in. [email protected] is the email.Thanks

Yes Lei, please include me on your list. I could care less where we eat. I am not picky. Can't wait to meet you. How are you coming on you travel plans? Susan
