The B-BQ at the FL Gathering!!!

You should publish this in the "The Illustrated A2K Yearbook"! :wink:

Really, I could see all that by reading! Great writing!

Thank you Diane, and if I may add, Diane is just as she writes! She is kind, articulate, soft-spoken and generous with her positive remarks. She is a pleasure to be around, and you end up wishing your time together could be more!

I just loved this get together, it was so rejuvenating and so special in so many ways.

I never, for one second, felt strange or uncomfortable. That's really something!

I will say it again, I miss you all!

BTW, a few additional pictures have been posted to the above link.

Thanks so much Diane. I almost feel like I was there :-D

I read Diane's post last night before going to sleep ~ I am still speechless. (No comments from the Peanut Gallery, please.)

So, I'll leave it at this.....

Thank you, Diane.

Hey! What above link?!?!

found it!

Awwwwwwwwwww......

Even though Phoenix promised to stop by my office this morning, she left early.....I'd have cried anyway, so I forgive her. (And I miss her terribly already!)

Mom and Roger were out galavanting all day while I worked hard. Da bums.

The three of us went back to Rusty's for dinner and had a lovely evening. Roger is great ~ I can't believe I've 'known' him for almost two years!

I've absolutely loved having everyone here.....but I'm really looking forward to a nap!

(They're all a bunch of party animals, I tell ya!)

Tell ya what--come on up to Ponte Vedra and let's keep the party going! Tthe beach is empty. PARTY!!!
Sammy wants to meet you anyway, especially when I told him you would give him a special ear scratch.

WOOF WOOF

<that was for Sammy, by the way>

I promise, Diane ~ we will see you again before you guys go back north! I wouldn't miss it!

Diane, is it okay to bring Paddy and Lacey?

I've posted some additonal pictures of our day today, here's the link:

Gathering in Florida pictures

Misti, Diane, Roger, Rae, Big Dice, Urs, Letty, Mapleaf - I edited and made smaller photos from all that Misti and Rae put online. If any of you want the jpgs, just let me know and I will email them to your address as you let me know.

Nice folks you all are and to share with the rest of us .....ahhhh, friendship indeed!

Yikes I really like that yellowstone background also. Misti or Rae not sure which has a good eye for composition - cool.

Will have to eventually go through and read this..but looks like yall had a great time..thats fantastic! Thanks for putting up pics...you all look just great!

Now it's only the four of us left, Rae, Misti, and Urs, and your humble reporter... Roger's just left us, and we're all a bit wet in the eyes. We had a beautiful weekend with the whole gang, and I'm glad we had the chance to meet this wonderful crowd.

We missed all of you other guys out there, but I'm sure y'all enjoyed the blow-by-blow of the Bar-B-Q. Don't think we didn't talk about you!!!!

Now we'll head on out to Kennedy Space Center with Misti, or maybe do a Wildlife tour of Merritt Island, the weather isn't that good, we just had some rain

Kennedy Space Center! Loved it! - hey have y'all seen any alligators yet?

Bigdice!

Bigdice?



Bigdice








Hope you enjoy the space center as well! :wink:

Dear Mr. humble reporter,
How about some more detail re Merritt Island...just curious.

Several members have asked me about a possible annual meeting in Florida. Has there been any discussion among the members still at the Florida Gathering?

littlek- No alligators, but I did see dolphins right near the motel- swooping and flopping and playing. What a sight!
