Just got back from Famous Dave's in Mesa. Our GTG was a good one, despite the fact that we were missing a few folks. Sorry you weren't able to come, AZJanie, Earl, et al. Maybe next time.

Here is a list of those who met today:

me & tkrik (finally, this is the 3rd time we've tried! She is from Tucson (way south of Phoenix and I'm from central Utah).

Aarcyn and her DH, Aaron
tkrik's (Tricia) lovely daughters, Shannon and Nicole
and her brother, James, and his lovely daughter, Lindsay.
Twinkletoes and DH, Paul, and lovely daughter, Crystal
msmari, aka MariLou
and pattys, who posted on MSW that she was coming.

Can you believe (yes, you can) that Tricia and I sat by the front door specifically to catch people on their way in and tell them where to sit. I saw a nice lady walking with a rollator and practically tackled her while introducing myself and welcoming her and asking who she was. Ooops! My bad!

Meanwhile, pattys (Pat) walked right past us and we didn't utter a word of welcome. But she found our group anyway and was seated next to msmari when we returned.

You're NOT going to believe this (yes you will) that the camera I borrowed was malfunctioning (blurry) and Tricia's camera was being weird too. So we don't have many pics, but more than last time. Waiting for my SIL to come help me transfer pics from my phone.

It was a fun get-together! Thanks to all who came.
