Well spoken, OntMont! It occurred to me that once you meet folks from the forum, then reading their posts on the forum is no longer impersonal. It's like reading a letter from a friend.
We very much enjoyed the camraderie of this particular get together and enjoyed meeting those we've not met before and renewing acquaintances with the others. The smiles in the pictures, I believe, were genuine.
For those of you up there in snow country, I don't mean to rub it in (well, maybe a little) but did you notice in the pictures all the short sleeves and shorts?
I know, ten demerits for me.
