Good flights to Thomas and Eva! To Mame as well, but I/we expect to see her before the flight.

It turns out Johnboy leaves tomorrow. He and the PDiddies are headed out to Acoma pueblo this morning and will come back to Abq for lunch.

There is talk of dinner at St. Clair Winery (near Old Town) sometime in early evening, time to be decided later. 5pm? 6 pm? 7 pm?

Johnboy told me of a certain level of major gorging going on yesterday by himself and the Diddies at the Hacienda restaurant in Old Town. Margaritas were spoken of...

I was half asleep when I spoke with Johnboy; I thought he said he had talked with Dys re the dinner but I might have imagined that.

These posts by me turn out to be complete hogwash. It was PDiddie I talked to this morning, not Johnboy. I was asleep when he called and they both have "accents". So..
my original opinion that Johnboy was leaving this morning was right after all. <slaps self silly>

Given my confusion, I just called the hotel and he had checked out.
So, hope the flight back was a good one, Johnboy.

McTag, you are far too quiet and several of us are quite hard of hearing. Bob keeps encouaging me to get a hearing aid and I probably will when I have a spare $3,000.00.

Could you really come to one of the southwestern meets sometime? We would love to see you and, for some, to meet you. Besides, you will offset the presence of those "old" Europeans.

Please come.

Diane

How gracious and kind of you, I would certainly love to come, as would Fiona.

I was only pulling your leg a little, you know that. I'm very glad all went well with your get-together.

An amazing thing happened during lunch at a local restaurant today. As we were eating our food, the waitress came to our table and said another customer wanted to pay for Dys and Diane's lunch, and she pointed out a woman dressed in purple at the other end of the room. Diane went to her to find out why because we thought the woman must know Diane or Dys. The woman told Diane she was so impressed by the love Dys and Diane showed each other when they entered the restaurant that she wanted to buy their lunch. She would not reconsider her intention to honor Dys and Diane's love.

Dinner at a winery last night was our final get together. Dys, Diane, Walter, Osso, Mr. and Mrs. PDiddie, and BBB had a great dinner and good wine. The PDiddies will be flying home today. Walter and Dys will start their RV trip this week.

Mrs. PDiddie fell in love with Dolly and Madison as they gave her lots of doggie kisses.

Yesterday evening, I safely returned to New Jersey from what turned out to a surprisingly not-too-bad trip. "Surprisingly", because Ossobuco has yet to invest any work in this thread she started, and because I like neither Dys, nor Dianne, nor anybody else who visited. Especially not the Bean.

And to make matters worse, the weekend was over way too soon. When can we do this again?

And by jimmy, I'm delighted to have met Thomas. Not nearly so intimidating in person as online.

Dys, why do you persist in posting photos that make people look short and grumpy?
