I just wish I had more time to chat with you at the brunch. But I did have a chance to speak with your lovely wife Tina-she is a gem. I'll see you all in April!

Hi,

thanks Phyl for another great luncheon and for Jane's decorations and spiders.   Jane thank Andy for the ride again.

Great to meet and talk with everyone, thanks Cindy, rivergirl for the CD's.

I ate so much that when I got on the scale today, it said "get off!!" ::)

Can't believe that you have already booked the April one, put it on my calendar already.

As usual the brunch was wonderful.  Many thanks to Phyl for making it possible for us to get together.  Many thanks to Jane for the lovely decorations.  It was great talking with people that I've gotten to know thru past brunches and meeting new folks----priceless.

I think that I'll use the photo of me waving the  cannoli for a holiday card.  Damn it was delicious!

I had to really restrain myself from going back up yet again for another cheesecake and some more chocolate dipped strawberries...

Hi All,

   Holly and I wanted to say thank you for a wonderful time. I must admit I was nervous at first (and during)but after getting the opportunity to talk with most everyone I felt much more comfortable. Thanks to all who put together this wonderful event and looking forward to the next one.

Joseph,

what a genuine pleasure to meet you both! :) I'm glad you were able to join us and hope you saw the fantastic picture of you both taken during the brunch (pls see Photobucket link on page 7 of this thread... I think it's page 7).  Next one in April.....

Hi Everyone,

I opened a Photobucket account.  It took me awhile to get things the way I wanted.  But finally, here is a link to photos taken 10/25/09 at The ANA Brunch at Maxwell’s in Worcester, MA.  As you’ll see Phyl made good on the “hugglez” ;D ;D ;) ;)

As Scarlett posted earlier, we had a great time, and it was really nice to see everyone.

Thank you so much Phyl, & Jane for organizing such a great event, and to Jane & Andy for the festive balloons and decorations.

See you all in April
