Trish took some pix; hope she can figure out how to post them!

She and her SO arrived this morning at oh-dark-thirty for nearly a week's LSV. Allan and his SO leave tomorrow morning after their LSV. Which was appropriately consumated with money down! Welcome, guys!

Wendy and her SO were there, too. Didn't get a chance to chat with them, sadly, but glad they were there! And, a few other folks whose identity I am sorry to say I missed.

"Old-timers" Niels and Claudia were there, too. Always good to see them!

I've probably missed someone, but it was a Good Meeting!

Thanks for the summary Steve, you are class act. Wish I could have attended but I am 1200 + miles away in Missouri and couldn't justify the expense to come down for the Crispers get together. Look forward to the pictures and any feedback from other attendees. Thanks again Steve.

Missed it by 3 days....had to go back home. Maybe some day. Glad it still was a great time tho.

Mrs. champion6 and I enjoyed our brief stay there. At 3:30 we were off to the polo grounds to meet our neighbors.

We have a picture of the sold sign for proof!

Congratulations and welcome to Lower Paradise, Aljetmet. That's awesome. Hope to meet you soon.

Trish, you are wonderful. Can't wait to see the pix. Swrinfla, thanks for the report. So wish I could have been there, but I sure enjoyed reading all about it.

Gee, we're here two years and already we're being referred to as "old-timers".

Peg was there too with her sparkling presence... and Trish brought a big shiny Helium balloon that said "TOTV" anchored by....tah-dah a darling ceramic "bag of popcorn" in your honor Bill-n-Brillo.

What a great group. We missed all who didn't make it, but the vibes were warm and wonderful and we have gained some delightful new folks.

May you new villagers enjoy this place for a thousand years.

Ha! That's cool!!! Sorry we weren't there - might be down there on a 3rd Friday of the month sometime this fall.

Popcorn was kinda crunchy though, wasn't it?
