I was Doctoring. I want to be there for new people the way they were there for us. Our first meeting at Crispers was wonderful. I was bleeding sweat that day...it was rough. We'll be there next month. Take Care. Take Care Mrs Gracie.

We all miss dear Donna with the beautiful smile.
Donna and KathieI were very close friends.

Yes. I remember that about those two.

KathieI showed up at Doggie Doo Run Run (DDRR) with her dogs in tow a long time ago. I was very glad and surprised to see her.

I am only going to DDRR rarely now trying to broaden my social horizons so maybe I will run into KathieI some where else.

Beau and I have a lot of exploring to do.

Is Beau a black lab by any chance?

No. He is a surprise. There maybe many Beaus in the Villages though. I have met many Baileys.

I think the Beau we met must be a snowbird since I haven't seen him for quite a while.

Cannot say I remember her husband's name but seem to recall he was/is a helicopter pilot.

Tal, his name was John, he was about 6'4" and Donna was barely 5'3" but they were adorable. Everytime you guys talk about her, I cry a lot. She was my bestie and I moved here for her and then she left me. Fond memories.

Is John still alive?

Everything about Donna was adorable, from her smile to her ponytail! She had a glow about her.
Kathie, I know she was your bestie and I can only imagine how much you miss her.
But we keep her alive in our hearts.

We have never in my memory ever had anything but pleasant times, never a disagreement. It is on the third Friday of the month at three in the afternoon, and the group usually meets on the outdoor patio.Nametags are provided. It has been so hot, that attendance does drop in the really hot months. Eileeny, who has been to many, many, meetings over time and many with her beloved Skyguy, now gone, will be the hostess today. In the past couple of years, maybe longer Ellen and Don have hosted but they are on vacation so Eileen has graciously stepped in this month. Folks usually get something cold to drink, some have a late lunch or early dinner and we usually sit in a circle and introduce ourselves and a bit about us, and just chat, many times for two or three hours. Very warm group. Anyone who reads TOTV is welcome. It is a different group each month.

Thanks for the recognition Gracie. That is where you and I met and embraced for the first time.

Oh sure, he lives up in PA. Donna's daughter, Donna Marie comes to visit the villages periodically. They still own the house in Hadley.

That's good to hear. I remember she was doing stuff with ghost hunters up in PA as well as here in the Villages. I mean Donna.

Wish I saw this earlier. I'll have to pay more attention next month.
