I'm so glad the two of you were able to make an adventure out of it.  I was so bummed I had to miss it but from what you have shared with me off-forum sounds like it was majorly different.  Most of all i missed the time with you hanging out at home and the interesting discussions we get into with DH.  I think a couple of years back we were actually coming up with solutions to major world issues but, alas, we were never asked to present publicly.  I missed seeing what "new" gadgets or fabric lines were coming out and debating the real benefit the new gadgets were said to offer.  But the time spent at home with our feet UP just catching up and sharing about our families and the new ideas we were pondering was very special to me.

I was concerned you would bail and not go this year...  Tom to the rescue!!!  Thank him for me and soon, I hope, he'll be planning a trip out to CO to see DD and her new DH and us too!!  I still have a box of COKE dishes waiting final transport to CA from Patty's neck of the woods!!!  

Miss you my friend!!

Bob could take your DH shooting and if the skies are clear there is always his observatory

Oh what fun!  Maybe I could talk my DH to going and join these two!  

OMG, are those COKE dishes still making the rounds?  How funny.  I hope they light at their final destination soon.

OMG, I had totally forgotten about them!  WHY on earth did we never have me come to Los Gatos and pick them up?????   Ah well ... moot point now!

I’m hoping to make it this year, I am trying to meet with somebody this week to show her how to take care of the ducks and see if that something she would want to do when I’m away.

Oh Good!!  It will be delightful to see you in live and in the flesh person!

I’ve been ridiculously busy

Well slow down so you don't run right past the retreat!

It is cool looking with a neat, simple quilting design.

Did you get to the German restaurant?  It's great. 

Yes!!  We went to "Ol Heidelburg" and all 3 of us enjoyed it very much.  DJ's boss or another guy told him about it at work and suggested we go there.  The decor was wonderful and so German.  Those who work there and everything about the restaurant was warm and welcoming and for me and my German blood felt so good!  

Like I’ve said before, if I have to roll in on a gurney, as long as someone’s willing to push, pull, or drag me I’ll be there. Forum let me post today. I’ve been living right.

It's a much better story this way!!
