Gathering in Florida?

(((((jjorge)))))

You guys will have to wait another week to see bigdice's photos. Mom will probably be posting hers soon.

Much to my pleasure, Diane and Letty have decided to stay another night! I think they might be having a good time or something equally silly.

Trying to get the energy up to go to the grocery store ~ everyone will be here this afternoon and I am so NOT prepared.....

Sounds like fun!

All right Diane and Letty -- Party girls!!!

I'll bet you're all having an amazing time. Is the weather good? Have you had the lobster ravioli yet? What about the hats? And Urs' convertible? Is it light blue?? I'm hoping it is light blue!

Sigh. It is gray and cloudy here, with the possibility of rain later. Oh, did I say it was chilly, too?

Remind Diane what our friend in Vienna said to do when you see the first moon! Maybe Urs or Stefan knows about that. It should be a lovely crescent in the clear evening's sky.

piffka, we've had snow for most of the last few days. Not much of it, but enough already!

Grocery shopping is done. Time to relax until the crowd gets here.

Urs's convertible is silver and it's HUGE! I think it's a Sebring.

The weather today is gorgeous. Blue skies, some puffy white clouds and a temp about 78F.

Sadly, JerryR was in charge of the lobster ravioli. But, Mom and I have certainly overcompensated with food ~ there's enough to feed a small army.

78 degrees -- sounds perfect to me! And all that food? It must be a PARTY!

Wish you were here, Piffka!

Thanks, Rae. I know I'm missing out! Next time... maybe next time. Has anybody heard from Larry BS? He lives in the Tampa area... I thought he might pop in and surprise you!

It would be a nice surprise, Piffka, but I haven't heard a peep out of Larry.

Oh well. It seemed a good idea to me!

Rae and Misti and All! So excited to hear of your gathering and all the ad nauseum details! (Aaaaak, that was just a lil joke, hear? LOL) Glad Phoenix is 90% better, too. And glad that Roger is going to make it, after a temporary concern re: urgent phone message left. Hello to mapleleaf, too! But, am glad to hear Letty and Di made it in, albeit late. And glad to hear they are staying over. I sooooooo wish I could be a little hermit crab and listen in on all your beach time and chat time too,
Peace, Love and Hugs,

It's been great, cobalt. You've been missed, by the way! Wish you could have been here for this visit. I'm still in shock being given the opportunity to meet such wonderful people.

Ok, here's the entire album, thus far:

We still have some straglers here, so there will be more pictures!

Darn, I can't access it from work, will have to check it out tonight!

A few additional pictures have been posted.

Pictures will never be able to convey what fantastic hosts Misti and Rae were. No one was pressed to do anything and yet both had everything under total control . What a couple of sweet kids.

Diane and I had quite an adventure on the return trip, but all went smashingly.

Diane, if you're reading this, I know why we were re-routed at Titusville.

Hi folks,

Nice pictures

Looks like you had a great time. Thanks for sharing.

Misti- I thought that you were going to destroy "that" picture- The one where I look like somebody's mother-in-law!

Phoenix, When I saw your picture with your cell phone, I said outloud, "get off that phone!" LOL c.i.

Phoenix ~ all of your pictures are adorable!

As my son would say.....'Get over it'!

And I mean that in the nicest way possible.....kiss, kiss.....
