was absolutely AWESOME!!! I had a GREAT time!!! It was soooo wonderful to meet Patti, Lori Pool, Laurie J, Phyllis, Kathleen (colderbythelake) Brea, Missy, Laurie, Erika, and of course it was swell to renew acquaintances with Sandie and Michelle G and Leia! Erika and Sandie--how cool is it that your hubbies bonded!! (And you both have such nice guys!! I'm jealous!

) If I have forgotten to mention anyone--please forgive me! I'm having a 'senior moment' but I love you all!! WE HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!!

Sweet Sue, It was really great meeting you as well, and your are so SWEET!!!!!! It was really nice being able to visit with you and my DH really enjoyed speaking with you as well. I agree this needs to be a yearly gathering and we definately need to come and visit you in Canada. Glad to see you made it home safe. Erika

This weekend was great. I wish I was off and could have rented a cottage for the weekend. Sue it was wonderful to finally meet you!!!! Maybe we can do a Grand Marais weekend and I can get Bob to come along, he really wanted to join us and meet the group that keeps me moving on no matter what. It was wonderful to meet everyone who was able to make it up here and I just can't say enough for what these kinds of get togethers do for my strength on this continuing journey! You all rock!!

Hi (don't recall your name--Tammy?), I'd posted some pics iplus an awesome cartoon joke into a reply to Sandie's post with her pics. Then the rest of mine are in my profile, and the remainder should get posted late tonight. Sure wish you could've made it, what a BLAST!!! And not just Lori, Missy and I in our swimsuits making snow angels midnight Fri. night, and not just the tattoo shop.....ooooh, more weekends out of town like that please!?!!! Hugs galore, Patti-tat-too!

Sue, You really are SWEETSue! You are a wonderful, couragous and strong lady - so glad to have finally met you. What can I say about the weekend. I hurt all over from laughing (and from the tattoo that I got).

Patti - you are a hoot and a half!

Phyllis - you are so sweet and kind. I'm sorry we all kept you up so late on Friday night....

Erika - you are absolutely GORGEOUS - get that new avi up there asap! This one doesn't do you justice! Also - you hubby is very nice. I didn't get a lot of time to talk to him, but maybe next time...

Kathleen - wanna banana? Oh, wait - you have BOB....never mind!

Lori P - glad to have 'reaquainted' with you - sorry I snored and kept you up on Sat. night, but I think it was only fair after Friday night - don't you??? Brea - you, too, are so sweet and so fun! Can't wait to see you again. Missy - just remember - I will still love you in the morning! Lori M - Wonderful to meet you and your hubby...you should have been with us earlier on Saturday - you could have added to your collection! You are beautiful and doing so well...keep up the good work! Leia - it was wonderful to meet you and your hubby as well. Thanks for sharing those pics and videos of Squishy! She is so adorable, but she can't help what she inherits, can she? Michelle - wish I could have chatted with you more as well, but it was wonderful to put a real face to the name/avitar that we see here. So glad that you could tear yourself away from your family and come see the other family that you have! Sandie - Thanks for riding up there with me and making your hubby drive alone...it was great having that time to talk. I so wish that you 2 could have stayed the entire weekend...but maybe next time...
