:agree:As a friend of mine once said, "We enjoyed the fellowshipping"!:a040: It's nice to put faces with "handles".

[graciegirl]

Sweet, wonderful, warm, caring, interesting people who I hope to know forever.

[buzzy]

First time for me. I felt very welcome. Nice to meet you all.

[Deb L]

Rich and I had a wonderful time meeting everyone...what a great group of people! How lucky are we to be Villagers? Very! I'm looking forward to next month already. Thanks to all who attended!

[graciegirl]

Nobody does it better than our sweet mayor, KathieI, and she was sadly missed today.

I took one, count 'em ONE photo before I got involved in listening and talking to this great group. Below is

SwimDawg, Brillo and Bill with his ever present popcorn and my Sweetie.

Swim, Gracie, send the pictures along to me and I'll post them for you. I couldn't be there today....I'd love to see the photos. Gracie, you have my e-mail....Swim, PM me and I'll send it along to you.

I agree with everyone, it was a wonderful group of people. For those that have never attended, do yourself a favor and come to the next meeting so you can put a face to the name. You'll find yourself thinking of people you've just met as old friends. Wendy, Figmo, Shandrell, Ladydoc, Bill, Henry, Helene, and all the others Mary and I met, it was truly our pleasure to meet you. As for Gracie, just meeting her is worth the trip.... she's the absolute best!!:bigbow:

[seashorecaroline]

I had a wonderful time today and it is so much fun meeting the faces behind the posts. A fantastic group of people who I hope to see again next month. And to meet Gracie.... What can I say..... She is the best! :eclipsee_gold_cup:

[pooh]

Here's the picture Gracie took.......Swimdawg, Brillo, Bill and Sweetie.... :) Very nice picture.

I'll post the ones Swimdawg took when she is better able to send them along. Be patient, they'll be here.

[tainsley]

It is so nice to see your faces! Wish I could have been there!

[herbaru]

Nice picture. Bill, such a nice guy, brought popcorn to share.:popcorn:

Hope to be there someday...

[Boudicca]

I'm SO glad I finally made the long trek out from the Dirtlands, otherwise known as Buttonwood, to attend the TOTV meet and greet. It was luverly to meet my online friends, and to put faces to the names. Gracie, ever the gracious un-official hostess, along with her handsome sweetie and lovely daughter, Helene and so many others I did not get to meet. I look forward to going to the next social at Crispers. To you'all who did not attend, "come on down" and enjoy meeting everyone. Sandra (aka "shradell")

:agree:So true LaryB, especially the part about Gracie! I have had my doubts but if Gracie likes it here, then I'm sure we have made the right choice! If everyone were like her, well, there wouldn't be any real problems!

Here's the picture Gracie took.......Swimdawg, Brillo, Bill and Sweetie.... :) Very nice picture.

Great picture, thanks! Somebody was very clever with the popcorn idea.

:clap2:

[Uptown Girl]

I enjoyed everyone there :laugh:
As a special, once in a lifetime welcome surprise, we each received our very own packet of authentic Bill and Brillo TOTV popcorn! How fun!

Wow, that does sound fun! :coolsmiley:

[Schaumburger]

I'm noticing the 100 calorie popcorn that Bill is holding. Very healthy. Looks like fun was had.

[Bill-n-Brillo]

Back in "Ahia" now.....sniffle...... :(

There was plenty of popcorn to go around! :) The 100 calorie version just catches up with you more slowly than the regular kind!! :pepper2: I figured if I didn't show up with some popcorn, I'd get lynched or something..... :1rotfl:

It was the first opportunity for Sandy and I to be in TV for the Crispers gathering. Great to meet everyone who was able to make it! It was a good time.....though we should have taken the lead from some others and moved inside the cool, air conditioned restaurant - it was a pretty warm afternoon outside!

We might be able to make the one in December - the 3rd Friday is the day we're arriving for another brief stay.

Again, good to meet everyone who was there! And thanks go to Gracie and Swimdawg for taking the pictures ---

Bill :)

[Tom Hannon]

Wish I could have been there.

Bill :)Well then, it's a good thing I wasn't in TV to attend. If I were and you saw me as you approached Crispers, you would have been compelled to make an about face back to your vehicle and hide the popcorn from me... and no one would have gotten any... popcorn!

It really was a great get together with a great group of people. Of course, anything is wonderful when Gracie, Sweetie and Helene are present. Loved meeting so many of you.

And, folks, hurry on down and be sure part of your plans include the third Friday of the month at Crisper's. See y'all there!!!

It was HOT.

I wasn't sure since the mayor wasn't there if we were allowed to go inside.
I know that most times we don't eat there because it is too late for lunch and too early for dinner and I hate to take up retail space since we aren't eating. We G's just got cold drinks, but it would have been so much more fun if I weren't squinting from the sweat dripping in my eyes. AND it would have been so much more fun if Kathie had been there.

AND it would have been perfect if all of you wannabe's and snowbirds and other folks who we enjoy so much were all there too.

but given the heat and the fact we were all...um...dewing up...it was so good to be with all of you. Another wonderful memory.

Why do I have this overwhelming urge to eat popcorn. :shrug:

I am happy that everyone had a good time and thanks for the pictures.
