Nonie...I knew it would be fun! Just wish I could have been there....will be come summer. I can hardly wait!

Hey Brightspot, you look pretty glamorous to me in your poster.

We're back. I'm exhausted. It was sooooooo much fun, I wish all of you could have been there. We had a tremendous turnout, many more than expected.

A grand time was had by all. The only problem I have now, is that EVERYONE knows I'm not shy so I can't play that game any more.

We took lots of pictures and had Valentine gifts and 2 cakes, one for Kiddo and one for Tal, who by the way, came to the lunch and had a very good time. We also had a few surprises, like Muncle who is adorable and funny as usual. HB was there with Hubs and Chels and Nonie and Mr. Nonie. What a group of nut cases. It was warm enough that we could eat outside under the overhang, so you couldn't ask for a better day.

We'll post the pictures soon. Love all, Kathie (not realy :redface

To all of you who were unable to come today - I had a drink in your honor. Missed not seeing all of you.

It was just wonderful meeting all of you.

Thank you Hyacinth that was a nice gesture. Wish we could have toasted with you!

Well, I was gonna post my pics but it turns out my "universal" card reader doesn't read the memory card for my camera. Sorry, all but you're going to have to wait until tomorrow to see mine. At least I hope I'll be able to post them then. Depends if I can find a card reader that doesn't cost a small fortune.

What a terrific time we had at Chrispers.

I am so amazed that we all spent the afternoon talking and joking as if we have know each other for years. I have tried to explain the whole process to friends here in TV and at home. They just don't get it.

Thanks new friends , look forward to more good times. You are all :#1:

So far I've spent 8 1/2 days on this site 024 (OMG). I can safely say I've spent more time reading and posting on TOTV than actually talking to some of my former real-world friends. And it's because they can't relate to the concept of TV. And when I talk about TV to outsiders, it feels like I'm bragging because I do think it is so wonderful. Therefore it is so much easier to talk to people on TOTV who have the same community interests that draw us all together. And most of realize that the friends we're making now are the people we'll grow old with. And I'll drink to that!! :beer2: :beer2:

Wonder were those pictures are? I usually dislike any pictures of me as they never turn out how I see myself--- like Billy Zane before he lost a lot of his hair. :joke: http://my10kidfamily.blogspot.com/2005/08/hot-head.html

Tal, I will admit I was a little disappointed that I didn't get a pic of you smiling, but I hope you like what you see. I do.
