After a Saturday night DIS meet in Chicago, I was off to Atlanta for a 2 part business meeting, first part on Monday, and then the second part, Tuesday through Thursday. I was able to come in a day early on Sunday, relax a bit, do a smaller DIS meet that night, and then after Mondays business, another meet on Monday night. So, three meets in 3 days!!! 
We did not take a lot of pictures at the first meet, but sure did get our share of gabbing in, LOL.
On Sunday, we got together at the Cheesecake Factory (yum), and what a nice place for a visit. In the picture above, mommie2angels (Kelli) and hubby, Mike, with their 3 girls, Michala, Marlee Anne and Mary Elizabeth (I think I have the correct order there). And what super girls they are. So nice to meet up with you guys. Oh, and I am on the right, blue shirt.
As I said, we did not take a lot of picture, and had to get this one of Rafiki, Rafiki, Rafiki (Paige) and her family, hubby, Jeff, and children, Sarah, Hannah and Megan, on their way out. They had come all the way to Atlanta from home in Mississippi, on a dual mission, picking up a new pet parrot (is that the correct bird type, Paige?) as well as coming to the DIS meet. I have known Paige for lots of years here on the DIS (old-time, late night chatters, LOL) and it was nice to finally meet her and family in person.
And here again is Kelli and Marlee Anne (posing for the camera, LOL), shorting before we went our ways at the end of the evening. We all sure had a nice time, lots of great conversation, good food. Nice meeting everyone, Kelli, you and Mike, along with your 3 super girls, Paige, after all these years, along with Jeff and your 3 super girls (Hmmmmm, I think Mike, Jeff and I were outnumbered by the ladies that night).
Then on to the meet on Monday evening. After a little bit of confusion, with our first choice of restaurants having been found closed and out of business, and me being a bit late because of some car-hood-jumping-nutcase on the interstate, we all arrived at the new restaurant (cant recall the name now, but it was good).
(Hope I get the names correct, if not, let me know).
From the left above, Poohkie (Tara), ead79 (Elisabeth), imadisneyholic (Stephanie) and hubby, Mike, Petes Mom (Sheila) and of course, Pete (he was a hit with all the adults, LOL), and CarolA (Carol) hiding Hugsquared (Kelley) a bit.
Thought a close up of Pete (we all know Pete as looking like this (below left), like Peter Pan, never growing older) would be nice (not sure if Pete agrees, LOL). Real nice young man there, Sheila.
Going around the table here (check all the great dishes of food in the next few pictures); we have Elisabeth, Stephanie, Mike and Sheila.
Larrys Girl (Susan)(Taras mom), Tara and Elisabeth (doing homework???)
Mike, Sheila, Pete and Carol (trying to levitate the table)
From the right, Disnut8 (Sheri) and hubby, Rich (Rich finally did say us DIS nuts (in addition to his wife) were all pretty good), and on the left, Jilliebeans (Jill) hubby
From the left here, Pete (hiding under a take-home container), our waiter, then Kelley, Carol, Jill and her hubby.
Again, Carol (toasting the fact she did levitate the table), Jill and hubby, and Rich.
A family shot here, dad, GoofyLarry46 (Larry), mom, Susan, and daughter, Tara. Elisabeth and Stephanie far right.
Sheila and again, a very happy Pete....I think he was happy the meet was close to over, LOL ..J/K, Pete it was great, so nice to have met you finally, Pete, having seen you for many years here in mom's signature

And then one last picture, ending the DIS meets in Atlanta, from the right, Stephanie, Elisabeth, Tara and Susan.
Just a big thanks to all of you guys, Sunday and Monday both, for all your wonderful, fabled (and true) southern hospitality. Hope we can do it again, I am sure I will be back. Have a very Happy Thanksgiving, everyone.
