[kregski]

[KathieI]

Bubbalarry and wife Dee will be coming

Great, Larry and Dee, see ya then. Think we're gonna have some other newbies too. Its gonna be a fun lunch, but very very cold and wet... Bring blankets!!!

[tankdvr1950]

My wife and I are coming down for a lifestyle visit from 5-11 Feb....hoping that this will be our last 'visit" before becoming TV'ers this year......we would both like to meet other TOTV's during that time......and are hoping that the Feb meeting will be held when we are there.

[another Linda]

We figure that by the 3rd Friday in March we will have been able to dig ourselves out of the snow so we can get to Crispers! Only 2 more to miss. I'll have to make due with the pictures I guess. Have fun everyone.

Doug and Lyn are planning on being there. I know that she will blame me for tellilng you it is her birthday. Kathie do you think a solo from Gene would be appropritate. I will deny anything abuot this email as I do not look forward to 'cold shoulder and hot tongue' for supper. She is nice and would never do that but would certainly get me back in bigger and better ways.

[F16 1UB]

[redwitch]

I'm going to try to make it but will probably be late again. Sometimes this need to earn $$ really bites.

[faithfulfrank]

Today in honor of your gathering, I will have a mug of hot coffee, with sweet-n-low and vanilla spiced rum creamer, close my eyes and pretend I am there.

I'm working at the firehouse today and it is minus 20 degrees windchill, zero temp. Maybe we can make the May gathering..we'll be down there then. Enjoy!!

Red, we're having a cake again today, I'll make sure its chocolate just for youuuuuuuuuuu!! Get there as soon as you can but I'll wait for you to arrive before I serve it. LOL...

[Barefoot]

wooo hoooo! Wear your woolies! :cold: It will be fun! I wonder if the staff is ready for us all indoors??? Hahahah! :eek:


When I'm in town, I always remind the Crispers Manager a few days before the gathering that TOTV peeps will be arriving at 3 PM. Sometimes he arranges to have extra staff on hand.
I love sitting outdoors at Crispers. Some of us may want to wear down-filled jackets and still enjoy the patio. :cold:

[Rokinronda]

Barefoot, down jackets and bare feet, right?? :pepper2:

[KathieI]

I love sitting outdoors at Crispers. Some of us may want to wear down-filled jackets and still enjoy the patio. :cold:

Good idea Bare, maybe we'll get an afternoon reprieve like we did the other day and it will get warm enough for us to sit outside. Its so much nicer than inside. No down jacket for me, but I'll layer my clothes and try to sit outside too. Its really cold today though. See ya later.

[graciegirl]

I love Crispers. I love getting together with TOTV'rs. I am NOT sitting on the patio in the cold. You guys will take pictures and everyone will be frowning because they are chilly. I am going to Lake Miona Rec center and play Bingo and think about you. I will miss you all and cry onto my Bingo cards.

[Barefoot]

Barefoot, down jackets and bare feet, right?? :pepper2:

RR, today I'll make an exception and wear my mukluks. (That is Canadian for warm boots.) ;)

[Rokinronda]

I had mukluks in Rhode Island and left them there!
Heck, today would be a beach day up north!!!
The daffodils and crocus would be blooming and we would shed our winter clothes and BASK in the sunshine!!

[KathieI]

I just came back from shopping and its a beautiful day today. We may be able to sit outside if we bundle up a bit and sit close together, LOL... Pictures later.

[nONIE]

Waiting for pictures!!!! MAKE IT SNAPPY!!

(just kidding) Ill try and be patient!

[KathieI]

The lunch was a HUGE success. Many, many new people came. It was a wonderful event. Unfortunately, the pictures will be coming later tonight. Wish you were all there to enjoy the festivities!!

Sorry Nonie, you must be patient....

[Bubbalarry]

Waiting for pictures!!!! MAKE IT SNAPPY!!

(just kidding) Ill try and be patient!

You didn't come!
You didn't come!

Wife and I were looking for you and your husband.
Did you guys go back up north to NY.

Anyway we missed you both.

Bubba & Dee

[faithfulfrank]

"Cold" ?? "Bundle up a bit" ???

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...........You've got to be kidding. I lust to be down in your warmth....currently here it is 1 degree, with a 20 degree BELOW ZERO wind chill......please say a prayer for us really cold northerners and a prayer of thanks for where you are now.;);)

Glad to hear all had a good time......ENJOY !!

[chelsea24]

Great fun at the luncheon. It was very nice meeting so many new people! The luncheons just keep growing and growing. :coolsmiley:

[nONIE]

Are there any pics yet? Am I looking in the wrong place? My patience is wearing thin!!!!:Screen_of_Death:

[Just Susan]

I totally agree Nonie. Kathie, we Wanna-be's require "same day" Crisper's pictures, or we begin to shrivel like water starved plants.

Help Kathie, pictures, please.

[another Linda]

I just left chat and Chels is playing around there instead of putting up pics. She's saying Kathi will do it. so, who's responsibel here?

[KathieI]

I'm sorry guys, I have company and it takes so long to post them, I'll try to do it but the captions will have to wait until tomorrow. Sorry, that party wore me out....

[Just Susan]

It is a big job Kathie. Wish I was there to help. Next month I can, we will be at the Feb. Crisper's. Yay, can't wait.

[graciegirl]

Great pictures Kathie. Lots of new folks. If I had known you would have been indoors I would have been there too. I thought it would be a bit too nippy!

[KathieI]

Hi All, the pictures are posted but they do not have captions or names to them yet. I'll do that tomorrow. It was an exhausting day but soooo much fun. Let's do it again next month!!!

Here's the link to the album: https://www.talkofthevillages.com/forums/album.php?albumid=101

Please note, the first picture is of my boys, happily enjoying each other with Sam's front paw over his older brother's shoulder as if to say, She'll be done with those photos any minute, Nicky, don't worry!!

Enjoy them folks, and I promise to put names on tomorrow.

[lin]

The pictures are great!... the party was great:beer3:...
This Newbie wants to do it again next month!
Thanks again Kathie!!

[redwitch]

Great pics. Great group. Great fun!

[F16 1UB]

I know we're supposed to refrain from using expletives but :cus: I wanna be there too. Many new faces and everyone as usual looks happy except Handie. Cool but happy. I feel for you NOT!!! Y'all remember what cold REALLY is don't you?

[douga]

Our first visit to a Crispers meeting and it was great. Great opportunity to meet so many really nice people.

Great pictures Kathie and thanks again for all your hard work. You are one great lady.

Doug and Lyn

[Rokinronda]

Great turnout, great fun, great people and great pictures!!!! Doug, Lin and DickY, thanks for braving the cold and DANCING at SS to Rocky......it was so chilly, they shut them down at 7:20..........:pepper2:

[Barefoot]

Thanks Kathie for the pictures. Some of us sat outside on the patio ... I was buried in mounds of down-filled clothing. I can't believe Hyacinth sat there in short sleeves. Bravely done!

It is always great to meet newbies and see old friends.

Rocky shut down at Spanish Springs at 7:20 PM? Wow, that must be some kind of a record.

[KathieI]

I had an absolutely fantastic time, what a great group of friends. And so many new people, I'm so happy they could attend. Looking forward to this group growing and growing every month. Crispers is really nice and they take good care of us.

Ok, have put captions on most of the photos, but I'm pooped out. I'll complete them later and will add more that Shirleevee took too. Enjoy folks, wish you could all have been there. Kathie

[angel222]

Hi everyone...Just wanted to add my thanks -- great people, great time!! Can't wait til next month. Kathie, you certainly know how to make everyone feel welcome and the pictures are an added bonus. See you soon...:mademyday: Charlene

Thanks CIB, that's the nicest rose I've received in a long time. Actually, the ONLY rose I've received in many years.
I'm returning the rose to the rest of the group, without them and their friendship and camaraderie, there could be no luncheon.

[ouma1938]

Each month I can't wait to see the Crispers pictures, its my lifeline to the future when I can finally move to TV. I am so glad thatn everyone had such a good time, and one of these days I'll make it down there!!!! Unbtit then, I'm there in heart and spirit.:wave::wave::wave:
