Hi Lana, yes there is going to be 2 get togethers. The first one will be in Tampa on Feb. 7th. So far there is Mimi Boo, Sharon FL, Dances and myself. I know there are more people than that in the Tampa area but haven't heard anything from them. The second one will be over near Hobe Sound, which is North of Miami. I am hoping I can get in touch with April and Marion who live in that area. I am planning on driving over there for the day and Carol will ride with me. I also had hopes of meeting with Shequit (MK) while in Naples. She posted to one of my threads but I guess the email from the GW wasn't working. Hopefully she will write to me or give me a call on my cell phone which is the number she called me at last year. I didn't know that Summer and McCloud were going to Florida. I know that the temperatures have been down. If I had a bad back I think I would be flying instead of driving.

Nita, I certainly do appreciate the invitation, but I'm not sure what's waiting for me in Ft. Myers...I don't know what plans my friend has made...She loves to surprise me..She'll say, bring your passport and ID, but won't tell me what's going on...I just know, on Feb. 3rd. I'm getting on the plane heading south... I know you gals will have a blast and if I can join you, I'll let you know....Thanks again, Dorothy

I too enjoyed our meeting. It was fun and great to see everyone again. I must say, this is a genuine friendly group. I too looking forward to meet next time. I hope we get to do this at least every 6 months or less. Ooops, we forgot to take pictures. We were too busy chatting, eating and laughing :) Next year, we need to drag Ravencajun and her DH to the Rodeo! It's such a big and fun event. Living in Houston, she needs to experience it at least once.

What a great experience that must have been for you ladies. I go on the Quilt Forum every day and a group of us have started holding a quilt retreat every year in the mountains of North Carolina. This was our fifth year and we had 14 people in attendance from the quilt forum. It was great...like a big old family reunion for some of us who have been every year.
