Thank you all for replying. It will be great to meet new folks and renew friendships with those who I have met before. Patti, how about getting together on Friday the 12th? I haven't heard from Joan. Since we will have Friday free we could come and visit you in Ocala. Name a place and time and we will be there with bells on. Monablair please let me know when you find out if you will be coming. I have talked to both Barbara and Sharon and they will be coming. Probably will be at the same restaurant as before. Renee, we will only have to spend one night in a hotel and that will be in Melbourne so I don't think we will have to worry. It looks like we will be spending Friday at my cousin's house and will head for Titusville on Saturday morning. We still need to find a restaurant and decide on a time. You gals going to Titusville have any ideas. Sandie since you live there can you make a suggestion? Liz, do you think you could meet us in Titusville on Saturday around 11 or so? I sure would love to meet you. Hopefully you can work us into your busy schedule. Anne we will be spending the night in Melbourne so can meet with you in the evening or very late afternoon. Need to have travel time from Titusville. Looking forward to meeting you. Marion and April, could we meet around noon on Sunday the 14th? You name the place and we will be there. Nothing expensive but want to have time to visit. Carol and I will head back to Ft. Myers after our get together. This is going to be so much fun. Carol and I are looking forward to meeting each of you. I hope that these plans fit into everyone's schedules.

The first KTer I met was Martha from Tyler (who now posts at the Coffee Shop & lives in Whitehouse.) Then I went to Waco to Jaybird's & met Nita, Jerri & Gabby. Jaybird took us to a restaurant in Crawford where we took our pictures with "President Bush." Annie and John Pence from Lake Fork picked me up and we went together to Fredericksburg to Buzzard's get-together. Nita, MaryAnn and I stayed in a motel room together. It was a great weekend. On the way home, Annie & John stopped at a German restaurant near Austin where I met some of their kids. What a great family; John passed away a year ago. Then 2 years ago I met a lady from Temple on a cruise ship, but don't know her name! Now I'm friends with the amazing Vannie. If I've left out anyone , just remember that I'm getting old! *L*

Just a reminder that the Southern California get-together is next Saturday, June 22nd at my home in Irvine, CA. If you're interested in coming and haven't already contacted me, please do so soon. I can be reached through my GW/THS profile page or via direct email at jodinewell at gmail.com. Jodi-

Thanks for answering my question. I have been "stopping by" various forums here. My favorites are Home Deco and Home Deco conversation side, Kitchens, Small Houses. This fourm seems different in that people seem to actually know each other. I guess I am interested in how that came about and if there gatherings in the tristate area.
