I'm still planning on coming, as long as no one minds a tiny guest coming with me.  I promise she won't steal anyone's dumpling!   ;D

I second that emotion!!
We'll all be cooing over little Audrey, exclaiming about Nancy M's quick operation recovery (hopefully!), and meeting all the new folks from near AND far, that we won't have time to eat!! ( Did I really say that?  ::) )

Can't wait to see everyone!

Hee, hee!  Now, don't you worry, Phyl ...  He won't have to come and drag me out to the buffet.  NOTHING will stop me from visiting once or, dare I say, twice!  Altho, I must remember to save space for that apple dumpling!

Oh, man, I want to see Audrey, too!

Phyl, couldn't you put Audrey and Katie on the moderator's jet and fly them around the country so we could all meet them?

Wish I was attending brunch with all of you.

Have a dumpling - or two - for me  ;D and don't forget to post some pictures.

well, folks.. we have now, once again, broken the brunch headcount record... now, we have..... 28!  :o  :o  :o

I am taking cover from our lovely host, Bill (I'll be hiding under the Carving Station!) and its going to be tight in the Boardroom. We don't have access to the Boardroom until 12ish, so we need to meet in the Lobby first before we head upstairs. Will have to talk to Bill about our next brunch and room size... will see what I can negotiate.

Spoke to my all-time fave, Brazilian nut! Gave him the headcount for the dumplins.... he poo'd his pants!  Said we are their fave group that comes in since we don't come in and stir up trouble (yeah, speak for you all... but as for me.... you know they take cover!).  Apple dumplin head count all set!

Only regrets at this time. If someone wanted to attend and didn't sign up in time, I am so very sorry and please keep a keen eye in the "AN Community" forum for the next one (wow! already talking the next one!).

Psyched to meet the bloke.  My son called from Scotland yesterday after they had ostrich on the bar-b.  How barbaric!  They looked for a bunny to roast but none in the market.  Imagine eating the Easter Bunny on Easter!   Those college boys . . .
Dave is sooooo excited to meet you all.  He had no idea what a huge help you were to him.
Tons of hugs til Sunday.  Oh, Dave might be on CBS that morning, but we can tape it and watch when we return.
I'm so high on surviving or something, steroids?
Think of Steve in the OR as we write.

Hi,
Looking forward to the luncheon. What is the proper dress? I'm just flying in for a couple of days and will be chasing Boston marathon runners as I try to get a glimpse of my hubby and Laura (allegro17). How dressy is Maxine's?

Nancy, why will Dave be on CBS? Sounds interesting!

Is there anything else us 'newbie's' to Maxines need to know?

Thanks,
Keri

Hi, Keri.
When we stopped in at Maxwell's after a trip to NYC, it was a mixed crowd, so jeans and a nice top to a pretty dress, the whole shabang!
Dave designed and built the prototype of the Vermont Garden Telescope for clients.  It's the 400th anniversary of Galileo's telescope this year, so CBS Sunday Morning is doing a show on telescope stuff.  It was supposed to air in December, but now they're saying April.  Who knows?
See you in a few,
Nancy
