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

Hope to be there someday...

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")

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!!


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!

I'll post the ones Swimdawg took when she is better able to send them along. Be patient, they'll be here.
Great picture, thanks! Somebody was very clever with the popcorn idea.

I enjoyed everyone there
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!

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

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!! I figured if I didn't show up with some popcorn, I'd get lynched or something.....

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 ---

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.

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