Thank you Tami!!!

Thank you for being such a gracious host! I had a good time tonight - better late than never!!! I got to meet some new friends and visit with some older and very cherished friends! I hope everyone that came out had a good time! Much Dee Dee

Ain't you a sweetie!! I just got in...*** a handful of us went to Wild Bill's and we had a great time. I had such a great time... I am so happy to have met so many NEW folks tonight!!!! AND... for those of you who don't know, the lady that was with Ann Brown, was a lady named Ann Wiley...she was MY mom's BEST FRIEND. My mom passed 4 yrs ago in November. Ann has known me since "before I was born"! It was so cool to see her and it was kinda weird, cuz Ann and my mom looked a lot alike...so it was kinda like sitting next to my mom again!! whoa.... I was SO thrilled to meet Ann, Rachel, Sandra, Deborah, Bridgette, Vanessa, Gretchen, Phyllis, Judy, and Stephanie!! ALL OUR NEW FACES!!! Ladies, stick with us, and you will have soooo many new friends... it's wonderful!! SOOO Glad you came! There were also many who I have not seen for a year or almost a year! Ann Brown, Kiwani, Martha...You all look so WONDERFUL!!! And of course...the gang!! Becky, Dee Dee, Kay, Holly & Harold, Marty & Mae, Denise, Tina, Mary, Ginger, Kelly, Norma, Beth, Stephanie, Shree!! YOU ALL ROCK!!! It was such a great time!! I'm so glad you all came. I will post the pics I have on MY camera...and I will be getting the pics from the camera's that I put out soon...as soon as I get the cd's back. If you have some pics we'd ALL love to see your pics too!! Until NEXT time!! Tami ***I know this says I just got in...but while I was typing this, I got a call from my ex, telling me he had NO idea where my youngest was...he had dropped him off at Waffle House after the marching competition around midnight, and he calls me and says he has no idea where he is.... Folks..I gotta tell ya... I have had the ever lovin' CRAP scared out of me tonight. I found him around 3:30...hanging with a fellow band member..they had been "talkin" for a couple of hours and "oh...they are sorry"... I think I have bawled for about 45 minutes ...I don't know if its from anger or relief...but either way... I have had the bejeebers scared out of me... *sigh*...very traumatic!!! THANK YOU LORD for bringing my youngun' back to me!

OMGosh! I'm really glad he was found! I don't know what I would do if I got a call like that!!!

Gretchen - isn't it great to be able to put faces with names!!! We need to get your picture on here so we can all share in your beautiful face! It was such a pleasure to meet you last night! I love meeting new people - I still say I've never met a stranger!!! Dee Dee

Gurrrllll! MEEEE too!! I have never been so frightened in my life!! It was WONDERFUL to meet you and your beautiful family!! I hope you will come back again!! Tami

I'm SO glad you found your youngin!!! Thanks again Tami - you looked fantastic! Have fun next month with your sweetie and we will see you in December!!! Much Dee Dee

THanks babe!!! I was so happy you came..."dweeb or no dweeb!" LOL

Okay Tami, your gonna be a hard act to follow (in December)!! Last night was my first time to attend one of these get togethers and I am sooooo glad I came. It was loads of fun getting to meet all of you and what an amazing group of people you all are!!!! I might not be able to make the Nov. get together but look forward to the Dec. get together and since it is a 1pm in the afternoon we can all spend the whole "freakin" day together!!! If we do not have the room that long we will find somewhere else! Well, we will see how it goes, you all may send me packin early on..... Tami, so glad you found your son safe and sound, I have two sons, now 24 and 26 and I consider myself a "survivor"!! They are grown - finally! There is nothing scarier than not knowing where they are and deep into the night! Look forward to seeing all of you again. Judye

Oh...I'm not that hard to follow!! You will do a great job!! I'm looking forward to it!! I'm so glad you made it and found what a great gang we have...it was so cool to see all the new faces!! You will find that there are lifelong friends to be made here. Since my surgery, I have a whole new wealth of friends...how lucky are we?? I'm ready to be a "survivor"! That took a couple of years off me for sure!! See ya in December!! Tami

Tami, I am so glad that you found your son. I can't even imagine what it is going to be like to be in that situation when my 11,8 and 2 year olds get older and I have to deal with that. I can see why my moma use to worry so much now. I would have totally freaked out myself. Also, thanks so much for being such an incredible host. I bet you can throw one hell of a party. Thakns for being so nice to me and welcoming me into the fold. Love ya! RACHEL
