Would love to come but won't be there until the 23th and will leave Nov. 3 or 4. Hopefully we will be able to make one of these get togethers before we're full time. (or maybe not, that will mean we're frogs a lot sooner than expected) We always seem to miss the Crispers meeting. I think your invitation to everyone is an incredibly generous thing, and really shows what a beautiful person you are.
And by the way, if you haven't met Pooh (Pat) yet, you're in for a treat. We got together with her and Mike a few weeks ago for dinner when we were down for a weekend visit, and had a great time.They are warm and genuine people who made us feel like Villagers. I think you two are like "peas in a pod".
