Jeff met his first clusterhead today.  He came with us to lunch at chevy's. It was a marvelous time and I love that I could introduce my Honey to my friends from the board.  More importantly, maybe a little spark of recognition and Jeff not feeling quite as alone.

Thanks to both of you.  Never in better company.  The intelligence of this group will never cease to amaze me:)

(((((Brian and Cathi)))))

It was great meeting Jeff, Kimberly's better half. He's a nice guy with a huge smile and a wonderful outlook on life. B has a new flock of red hair on his chin, I've gotten older, and Kimberly is completely unchanged.but wunnerful!

So, we drank..non-alcoholic, we talked, we laughed, solved the world's problems....but then B had to get to another appt, os we all departed.

Try the fajita salad at Chevys.it is sooo good! Oh, and don't forget the pepitas!

Are  we forgiven, Helen??


Now, Kimberly.what's this about a cookie thing???.. HMM????? >:(  


It always has to be said.....MAKE time to gather with some clusterheads.......you'll NEVER regret it!

Cathi :D

Yes pics.  Looks like we need Bill around to do the photography.  At least Kimberly brought hers in.  I left my camera in the car.

It's great to meet another clusterhead.  I have never met Jeff, but felt like he was an old friend.  I was trying to think of where I met him or how I knew him, but I never have.  I guess it's just the familiarity of another clusterhead.  

It was lovely to see you 2 again, ladies.  We should get together again soon.

Ahhhh, Cookies.....Well I think we need to get together for cookies and hot choclate for the Holidays.  Brian can bring Diana and you can bring Gil and we can gather around the tree and fire and have a wonderful evening:)  So, is it a date?  I'm making cookies:)

Well dang it....Last year when I was there and we had a get-gether with Cathi, Brian and Kim...I posted pics here.   I cannot find it now.

Brian?   what  month was that so I can try to retrieve it and repost it?  Do you remember?

It's a date, Kimberly! Your place or mine??  It might be eassier for us to do it here, since I am a Retail- widow till after New Year.and you're busy too!
Jeff can bake the cookies, I'll bake some too, B and Dianan can.err..Dianan can sing Christmas songs.......

and I'll make my own mulled cider! Howzzat? Ohh, and hot chocolate, too!
My tree will be up by then end of this weekend..........

Cheers!!!

Cathi

PS-Any other membeers who can be here for a dte in the next 4 weeks..TBD at a later date, is, of course welcome.......come to think of it, I hear the east coqast is expecting a Limey....think she'd like to nip on over to the other side of the country?
Anywhoo, I can't speak for Kimberly(but I think I know her answer), but, as for me, y'allcome, now, y'heayah?

anyone who wants to come and partake in Cookies and singing....PLEASE come on over:)

Linda, I am pretty sure it was october. Could be september.  Kimberly posted pics.  Thread is "Met up with the Howell's"  (lol) or something.


I'm all in for cookies.  I was thinking we should have some adult additives for the hot chocolate.  Adult hot chocolate sounds yummy.

sounds good to me.  You heard Jeff say a drink or two after a year and a half would taste good.  What do you like in your hot chocolate, Brian?

I'm glad that you guys got to meet up! Sounds like you had the best time! :)

Can't wait to meet more clusterheads.... 8-)

Never been to one but I imagine it’s kinda like a bunch of smokers sitting around a Turkish oxygen bottle.

Rolo… ;D

Non-Stop from Minneapolis to St. Louis is pretty cheap right now. Come on down and meet a bunch of us.

Ok... so now we expect that you draw pics of the meeting, scan them and post them!!!  ;D

seriously though... I'm so glad that you guys got together and had a fabulous time.

I'm just really pissed that you all don't live within driving distance to me.

with warm regards,
Tony

I would go in a minuet if I could afford it. I wanted to go to Davenport but could not find a hotel roomie and the long drive would have needed a rest between drives.

I will check on flights and maybe mom will help me out. We’ll see?

Roland. ;)

 Hey Rolo,  I think that we are driving to St. Louis If you wanted to meet in Chicago or some where you could ride with us from there.  I bet you could find someone to room with to.

I'm so glad to hear that you guys had a great time.  It's so wonderful to meet up with others in person.  We have met Jackie, Blake, M.R. and Don (Skyhawk5).  I look forward to meeting many more in St. Louis  [smiley=thumb.gif]
