I think we all learned some things , we all became better friends, and we are all tired, no body got much sleep.
I will try to tell you a little bit about everyone. I hope I did not miss anyone.
Mo and John Gram from the UK were here, two very loveable people. Mo she took right to Lil Jonny. Both Mo and John had some wonderful ideas. Simon you were so right when you said I would fall in love with those two! John has been sick for two days. I saw him this morning and he is still very sick and weak. I hope each of you will have him in your thoughts today.
There was Bob and Sarah ! That’s a couple that were made for each other. I was able to get my hug from Bob that he has promised me for over two years. Sarah was a great supporter and both were wonderful listeners. I am so glad to have met you both! Bob spoke on OUCH and had some great ideas and I am sure will see them through.
Jim and Ruth Jim is a cut up and has a great sence of homor just like in chat. Wonderful man, Ruth is kind of shy type and very very nice. They are just a great couple with lots to offer to everyone who mets them.
Jonny well he is just like he is on the net a great guy, happy and full of fun and laughter. Jonny was the only one with Beer Saturday night. I am not sure that he will be forgiven by the beer drinkers for that one LOL! Jonny always had time to give me a hug and say are you OK. Thanks Jonny your special!
