Hi everyone!! Just got home from my first brunch at Maxwell Silverman's (went shopping after in Worc area) and I had a great time!! it was so wonderful to meet everyone--I gave Phyl and extra hug from Kathy of Minnesota (Orbit). I have known Sue's sister for ten years and only recently learned Sue had an AN--imagine!--Katie looks amazing only 7 weeks post-op! Jane and I had alot in common as she had a re-occurence and had surgery twice and radiation. Ellen had Gamma Sept 22 and says she feels better now than before treatment--Ellen brought her adorable one-year-old son who is such a good baby!! And it was nice talking with Joe and Paul as well. It was very therapeutic to me as I am dealing with re-occurence so my journey continues... Pictures were taken inside and outside so we will all be eagerly awaiting seeing them!!  I look forward to the next get-together and thank you, Phyl for organizing this!!!  Talk to ya all soon!  Everyone have a great turkery day!!  Regards, Mary from MA. ;D

Sounds like the best (west) coast crew is much more civilised than the worst (east) coast gang!

I took a bunch of pics but no way to post them. Joe, can I send them to you?

  We had a great time and the food was excellent! I made the mistake of not sleeping the night before because of a late gig. On top of not sleeping, I'd contracted a mild case of the flu after receiving a flu shot last Monday. Needless to say, I've been wiped out today, even after sleeping for 12 hours. The damned tinnitus is roaring to the point of vibrating the side of my head.
  My girlfriend wants me to spend the winter in Florida with her. I just may do it. Only problem is, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool New Englander. (Ich bin ein New Englander!!!)

Paul, if you gave me those flu cooties during the car ride, your um..... yeah, that body part.... is in BIG trouble! (feel better and pls give huggles to Jody for me!)

well, folks, I have to say what a lovely time had...

The carving board/omelet man certainly remembered me and well... let's just say this... what a sense of humor he has... he even one-upped me while making Jane's omelet! Touche to him.  Bill, our host, was once again so accommodating... another great visit to Maxwells.

As for the NE AN gang, what the heck do I say?  Joe, you look great and glad you got out of the "honey-do" list from your wife!!  Yoga Sue, you wook marwelous and can't wait to hear about possible yoga moves for me... Jane, my Bevedere Bloody Mary sista-in-crime, you look awfully lethal driving that MacTruck of your's!  Katie... I'm in awe!  9 weeks post surgery and you'd never know it! Love the retro 80's haircut!  Ellen, you look fab and can see you are doing great (baby was awesome again.. he's such a flirt).  Mary, our newbie to the brunch, I am so thrilled you were able to join us and what a pleasure to meet you.

I can tell you this... my car got lousy gas mileage on the ride home since we over-indulged and I had me and Paul in the car... the car dragged along the highway. Remind me to check the tire air pressures now!

What a great way to spend a Sunday am... I want to thank everyone for making the rides in for the brunch, for being such lovely folks, for the huggles and the jokes and the harrassment of staff (Jane, you 2 fisted coffee drinker, I GET the caffeinated, you get the decaf, silly!) and hope that next Spring's brunch, I'll be able to bring the cheeky bloke with me.

Thanks all for a great time!
Signed,
Bridezilla! :)

Sorry this took so long to post!  I've been busy trying to pre-cook stuff for dinner tomorrow while not stepping on the two little scallywags who thing they're helping!  LOL! 

I had a great time at brunch.  It was so wonderful to see everyone again, and to meet Mary.  I'm just thankful the tender didn't sink, being meant for roads and all.
