Andy................Sorry you won't get to go to the brunch. I wish you sunnier skies in the future.

Andy,

With everything going on I am amazed you still are making the magnets and t-shirts for everyone.

Today we celebrated DDs birthday with the extended family over for a barbecue and your t-shirts arrived in the mail. We proudly showed them off.

They look terrific.

"Verandahman Creations". I love it.

Thank you so much for doing them.

Very disappointing with England in the Cup today. DH thought the ref'ing was inconsistent. Never would have thought the French would beat Brazil.

Making the t-shirts and door magnet signs have been my sanity the past few days, it takes my mind off other things that are going on.

 

[Verandah Man]

What time is BRUNCH???

Have fun at the brunch today, sorry I can't be there with all of you, but there are some pressing matters that need to be taken care of today, and I need to be around to help with them.

 

[castoff]

I hope I am not to late in WISHING everyone who is going to the brunch a safe trip ! Have a Great Time.


Andy: Sorry you have to go through this again.


Lori: I wanted to say again for your offer with the album. I told Chuck about it last night and he was really touched. I told him he needed to read this thread to see all the prayers and thoughts that are going out for his Mom.


Doreen: Sorry for the bad news ! I am only a phone call away. I can handle pretty much anything now.



I didn't mention this yesterday because I was working on the Album NON-STOP like till wee hours again but it's done and on the airplane Anyway.........Chuck came back home yesterday because the flight was way overbooked and he gave his seat up for someone who REALLY needed it. He took the first flight out this morning and I was DRIVEN to get the Album done. I am going to post some pics.

On the cover I found a site that you could type a message right on the cub sign, It didn't show up in the picture. How is that? She is only up for 1 1/2 a day so no writing just pictures 20 pages back to back . I wanted it to be just a visual thing where she just looks at the picture, closes her eyes and hopefully it takes her there.

Hi Everyone

Sounds like it has been a tough couple of days for a lot of people for lots of reasons... one big prayer needed tonight to cover all intentions..

I know this may sound insane but it's very human to see that we are all pretty much the same, with the same hopes, same sadness and same outlook, regardless of our beliefs or location.

Take care everyone...Moira.

 

[Verandah Man]

Hi All,

I called Terry to say a big hello to everyone at the Peter Pank Diner. Terry put me on the speaker phone and it sure sounded as though everyone there was having a great time.

Hazel and I did manage to stop at the Old Country Buffet this morning on our way out, so at least we did get to have brunch, albeit just the two of us, LOL!!!

I'm sure we will hear all about the Cruisin' Castaway's Brunch later on!!!

Take Care Everyone!!!

Andy

Hi everyone,

Lindsay and I had a great time at Peter Pank today. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones. I don't know how to post any pictures but I'm sure others will.

Andy - we missed you and hope you are doing okay.

Tina - it looks awesome. I'm so glad you finished the scrapbook. I knew you would. I can see you put alot of love and work into it. I'm sure it will be greatly appreciated.

Less than 7 weeks. I can't wait until we say only 7 days. It'll be here real soon.

Hi Everyone!! Back from a great time at the Peter Pank and wish you ALL were there!!!!!! Andy called in and Karen called in too! Altogether we were 17 people and we had a fantastic time! We were there for about 3 1/2 hours and it was terrific seeing my old friends and great to meet all my new ones! I can't wait to meet EVERYONE in (less than) 7 weeks! I'm sure those more internet savvy than me will post the pics from the Brunch (we took quite a few). We all hit it off so well, and if today was any indication, we are in for one fabulous time all!



Later,
Mary Rose

 

[O'BWV]

Hey Bev - we must have been posting at the same time!

Tina - The Album for your MIL looks great and made with love and devotion.



Mary Rose

Hi all,


Glad you had a great time. The same can be said for the BBQ in Yonkers
Sounds like both meets had a grand time today.

A little over a month to go

Greetings everyone, we're (finally) home!!

As I may have mentioned, Craig (DS18) was given a truck from his dad, as a graduation present. It's a 1995 GMC Sonoma, and my ex-DH totally refurbished it, including new transmission and beautiful new black paint job. Not sure if any of you at the brunch today saw it in the parking lot or not.

ANYWAY...we're not even out of New Jersey yet when I look in my rearview mirror (I was in front driving my van, John was driving the new truck, with Craig as the passenger. We were at a complete stop in traffic on the New Jersey Turnpike), I look in the rearview mirror at the exact moment that a car hit them from the rear!! I immediately pulled over (fortunately there's a left-hand break-down lane), and they pulled over, and so did TWO cars behind them. Apparently the car right behind them was also at a complete stop, and it was the third car in line that didn't see that traffic had stopped, and plowed into the car in front of her, which was then pushed into the back of DSs truck. Nobody was really injured but both John and Craig and now complaining of sore and painful necks. I'm going to see how they feel in the morning, too.

The driver at fault fully admitted that it was all her fault. We all exchanged info and a state trooper took all of our info and called it in so we'll be able to get an accident report. I had our digital camera with us so I took pictures of everyone's cars, too.

Craig's truck isn't too badly damaged but the rear bumper is all scratched up and is also bent down in the middle. And the right side bumper section is all scratched up. What a shame because it really looks just like a brand new truck. Ah well, I try and look on the bright side; nobody was seriously hurt.



ANYWAY! LOL

We had such a wonderful time at the brunch today!!! It was so great to see everyone, thanks so much to all of you who were there! Andy, I'm sorry you weren't able to make it. We totally understand, and thanks for calling in, it was nice to talk to you. Karen, thanks for calling too, it was great to "have you with us"!

John is downloading the pictures right now but I'm so exhausted that I won't get them on the internet until tomorrow some time.


Tina: What a beautiful expression of love that photo album is. What a wonderful thing to do for your MIL. I hope that the rest of her days are as painfree and as peaceful as they possibly can.

I have a lot more to say but it's going to have to wait until tomorrow. Good night all

 

[Verandah Man]

Terry so sorry to hear about the accident and with Craig's new truck, what a shame, but like you said, no one was injured too bad, that's the important part!!!

Looking forward to seeing the pics from the brunch!!!
