YEA!  I made it to a brunch!  heh   Phyl and Jim, it was great talking to both of you!  A special shout out to Erin for allowing me to call her during the brunch so I could say hi to some people.  I still wanna show up in person, but via cell will have to do for now..

Great pics!

Hi Everyone,

We had a great time yesterday at the Brunch.  There were 25 attendees out of a possible 38, still it was quite a turnout.

It was so nice to see everyone again.  As usual, the time seems to go by too fast and you don’t get to talk to everyone, maybe next time :)

The food was excellent, and the dumplings were delicious, thanks Gil ;)

Thank you Phyl and Jane for a great afternoon ;D

I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make it to the brunch.  Looking at the pictures I can see that everyone looks wonderful.  I missed you all.
By the way, I kind of like the title that you gave me Phyl----"Queen of the Dessert Table".  So rightly deserved on my part!

Take care,

Ok, ok, we get it - the apple dumplings are huge and look really, really good!  Now quit rubbing it in!  Next time, take a few pictures of people eating a salad or a bowl of corn flakes!   :D

Looks like a great time and a great turnout!  I really need to head up to the Great White North for your next feast!
