I'm still tasting dumplin's, all.... oy!

And as for my elliemae/Elaine... um, m'dear.... dark chocolate to add to the already growing poundage on my body?  Geesh, m'dear! ;)  But, the bloke and I thank you tremendously....... I'm just slapping them on my already extensive hips!

Well, MommaKatie is due in April (thereabouts), so will keep that in mind as we plan the next brunch.  Sounds like, based on attendance size, that we may graduate into the room next door!  What a fab time and thank you all again!

To Phyl,
     Thank you so much for getting us all together and making us all 5lbs heavier.  I was so excited to meet everyone....At my doctor's appt yesterday for my 3 mos MRI I told him how we all met.  He was asking me all kinds of questions.  He also said how amazed he is that An patient are getting more and more.  He said he's very busy with a lot of An patients.

     Thank again, and looking forward to the next one.   The Pictures are great!!!

  :) Hi Everyone,

Such nice photos as remembrance of a great get-together at Maxwell's with us "Oldies" and the "Newbies"...Our "family" continues to grow as our brunches get larger (never mind our waist-lines)!! and our young'un, Katie, will be a Mommy again next Spring!!!

Always a GREAT BIG THANKS to Phyl and Jane for their efforts. It truly is comforting that we can all share with each other our experiences and share support.

And, by the way, I can always count on Paul (CrazyCat) to give me a warming hug!!!

Looking forward to our Spring "crusie" at the good ship Maxwell's...

Regards,  Mary  (akaGrammyMary) :-*

Hi All

The Brunch was great, thanks again to Phy and for Jane and don't forget Andy for letting me tag along for the ride.  It was great to meet you all and look forward to see you all again in the Springtime.  I haven't eaten a thing since Sunday ;)
