WHAT HAPPENED IN PITTSBURGH, STAYS IN PITTSBURGH...WELL, ALMOST!

Lora, It sounds like it was WONDERFUL! Kudos to you and Mary for doing such a good job showing off our city.  I am so sad I missed it, but know that there will be another GTG and the next time I won't miss it. Lou

Thanks Lou!   There was one thing missing....Y-O-U!! Especially, since this is your town, too.  It was loads of fun, and so glad that Mary and I stayed at the hotel, because that is where the highlights of the weekend took place! Looking forward to the next one and you being there.   Hugs, Lora 

Lora, You managed to describe the event perfectly. It seemed impossible to write the 'flavor' of our short time together but you did it so well.  A Gigantic THANK YOU isn't enough for the work you and Mary put into our week end. You are both the BEST. When I arrived home there was a pile of pennies on my kitchen table.  I will never see a penny without thinking of you. Now I'm crying again, thinking about all my Sistas and the sharing and caring we had together. Darned leaky eyes ruined my mascara again. Kisses Annette 

Oh Annette...I am missing you!  I put the nickel with my other pennies...who knows, maybe it's the exchange rate these days...heehee! My heart is so full with emotion, and I'm so touched by your sentiments!!  Good thing I didn't put mascara on today...there would be another black stream down my cheek!  Geez...thanks! Can't wait til the next GTG and seeing you and the sistahs again! Hugs and double hugs sweetie! Lora PS--I am so glad that you made it home safe and sound.

Hey Annette..

I misplaced that nickel yesterday and made myself crazy!!!  Found it in the bag with my shoes...holy moly!!  Just wanted to share.

Have a great day! Hugs, Lora

Oh Darn!! Now everyone knows I drool over long haired men especially when drinking a nice full flavored dark raosted coffee!!!!  Sigh.. he was so pretty and I din't get to bring him home with me. I guess now I'm equal with Candy. She didn't get her cowboy in Dallas either. All private moments and non-private moments aside!! You rock Lora. Great job!!! Can't wait to do it again.

HMMMMM Aime....Was that drool????????  Next time I get to the Strip, I will look for him, snap a few photos and send them to ya.  If possible, I may even ask him for a date...do ya think he would mind that I am old enough to be his mother?  I think the new-age term for that is "cougar!" Roarrrrrrrr!  Just remembered who he reminded me of...Tarzan....wouldn't mind checkin' out his loin cloth...oops!!  I know, I am a married woman...who cares!!!

Glad you had a good time this weekend Aime, cause I did too!  Wouldn't have been the same without you!  Hugs, Lora 

Lora and Mary, As after Dallas,  I get quiet when I'm completely overwhelmed.  My heart is, again, so full. What a grand moment in time.  Life is good. Janet

Howdy Miss Texas... How ya feelin'?  Hope better!  You get quiet?  I call it introspective.  Not only were you a grand surprise this weekend, but you were a shining gem, too!  I am so delighted that I got to meet you and spend time with you.  It was even better than my expectations.  Yes, our hearts are full, memories increased, and sisterhood is stronger!  Can't wait to do it again! Have a super day, darlin'! Hugs, Lora 

Ladies, Even though I only could have dinner with you I still felt very much a part of the weekend.  It was such a thrill to finally get to meet all of you.  Such an amazing group of women at one table for dinner has to be a rare experience.  I loved learning about each on you and how we got to be the women we are today.  I only hope I can have more than one dinner next time there is a OFFERS event!  I miss you all already but I know now even more that you are there for me and me for you. Thanks ladies! Lora and Mary - How fantastic are the two of you!  With everything going on in your lives to pull this all off has the respect and sincere thanks from all of us no matter how much we participated in the weekend.  God Bless you Both! Damn, we are an amazing group of woman who truly appreciate each other because we are special and we care about each other. Love Jan
