Congratulations Jilli Beans, I know how you feel (ok maybe not exactly) my exhibit was a new experience for me. At least you knew more or less what to expect since you had a BIG Meet before. I'm just a little frog in the pond compared to you. But the feeling is great and will continue on. Sorry I could'nt make it to your pajama party, but I sure would liked to have seen you at 6;30 am Yeah BAABY!!

Just arrived home safe and sound. The drive took almost 3 hours longer than East of Erie, PA. Pretty scary at times, but we made it.
A big hug and Thank You to Jill and her Family. We always enjoy any opportunity to spend time with these characters. Miss you guys already. I'm sleeping with the loaf of Town Talk bread Jill gave us tonight.
Here's a few photos to get started. I'll put a proper meet page together tomorrow. In the meantime, others with photos are encouraged to send them in asap.
The first photo just has to be our Hostess Jill Welsh. Many of you know her as Jillbeans.
This group shot was just a little different from anything done before. I don't know how Jill's bed survived all the extra weight.
Finally had an opportunity to meet Bob & Marsha Peach from Cape Cod. They were on their way home from a trip to California, but managed to time things so that they mage this meet. We're personally hoping to see much more of this couple.
Always neat to see our galpal Kissy again. She even brought her Hubby Bill along Sunday. Not as pretty as me, but a really nice guy we'd like to get to know better. Hard to keep this woman away from chat.
Harris Kohen drove down from NJ to be with us. You Letterville chatters know Harris as FireFixer.
More to come.

The family and I were planning on going but Friday something happened to our clothes dryer that caused some wiring in our breaker box to melt down. We got to stay home and fix wiring, put in a new water heater and dryer. But were feelin pretty lucky this mess could have easily turned into a fire. Dara just happen to be standing near the breaker box when smoke started rolling out of it.
Oh well we'll try to make it to one of the next meets.
We wouldn't have been comfortable in wet pajamas.

Thanks Jill for all the fun. Thanks for the eats, the fun and the cold outhouse with the hot fire behind it. We'll never forget the pj's!! It was nice to finally meet some of the familiar faces from the BB. We were really glad to have made the detour to meet all of you: Jill & family, Matt, Sal, Mark, Kissy, CJ, Harris, Steve & Barb and the striper whose name we can't think of (sorry about that). You really are a fun bunch. We not only got to meet the "Mayor & his "Keeper" but we got to meet them in their jammies. First impressions last forever!! Got home at 6am - had snow all the way.

Hey Everybody... Jill's meet looked like a fun time with all nice people attending. Had I known about the meet by checkin' in earlier than this... and a pair of PJ's, well, I might have considered going (with an invite). But since I only own a pair of Robinhood tights (nighties)(dark green) and have been up to my neck in two football field lengths of vinyl these last weeks--looks like I missed a good time, good company and the opportunity to learn some tricks of the trade. Plus, an opportunity to meet the good "Fryer"...and he-- me. Thanks for the pix's and hope ye are all well.
Kind regards,
Fran
