What a wonderful day!

I headed out really early this morning to Hamilton, Mo to meet with forum folks to finalize plans for our retreat that starts three weeks from today! Whooppee! I had the best day meeting with so many great folks, all of the Doans were there, my good buddies from the forum, the quilters and binders ( Dolores and Bernice), the friendly salespersons in the shops. And we had the most fabulous lunch at the Blue Sage cafe! Topped off with fabulous cheesecake! It was well woth spending 8 hours in the car driving! Thanks everyone for such a fun day!

Oh, and I was a very bad girl, but I got my 1000 quilters points!

Jean, sounds like you had a simply mah-velous day!:icon_cool:

PS,
I would've paid homage to the cheesecake, but kinda hard to do while woofing down chocolate pudding!

Sounds like a perfect day! And you had cheesecake...MY FAVORITE!!

Today sounds like it was a true slice of Heaven. What a happy day. Yea, for you Jean. You made it sound so delightful, I truly wish I could have been part of the fun. We all need one of 'these kinda days' now and then.

Sounds like you had a wonderful day...and cheesecake too!

Sounds wonderful. Someday I will get to Hamilton.

......and you got FREE shipping! Sounds like a great day!

She didn't really like the cheesecake . . . we should have taken a picture . . . she LOVED it - and it was definitely picture perfect.

What?! and you got SANDY, TOO?!!! Dang, some girls have all the luck!

I'm totally jealous.

What a lovely day!

We need pictures, so we can all drool. Too much fun. Wish I could be at that retreat with you. Fun Stuff!!!

Wish I could have gone with you. Three weeks....woo hoo. It seemed like it was taking forever to get here, and now it is right around the corner. Getting so excited and antsy. So what kind of plans did ya make?

Sounds like a wonderful day. So happy everyone had a great time. I'm so jealous!

No pictures! We were on a secret mission!

I think we could manage to find room in Missouri for all our wonderful forum friends to at least move closer . . . maybe not in Hamilton exactly, but I do understand there are a few homes there for sale - and there's a trailer park. Looks good to me. But, don't spread the word that this is a beautiful place to be . . . when it's not blowing or raining or snowing or sleeting or too hot or too cold. Oh, and traffic is light in most areas - so you don't need to bring a car and clog the freeways . . . but, you are all welcome!!

Sounds like a plan!

P.S. LOVE your new tagline - definitely going to be printed and framed. Now, let's see....where is my printer?

So much work,, you gals are putting into this for us!!! I Thank You all for it! I am so anxious to meet you all and hug, and chat with the people that start each day for me..(I hope hugs are alright)... Around here we hug hello and sometimes goodbye as well,,, cause there's a real understanding of "LIFE" and it's goodness...
Last night we went to dinner with our "gang",, dessert after at one house,, and I brought my "gifties" which are all finished.. (so proud of me:)... One friend looked at them all and said,,, I like this one, and this one, and this one,,, made me smile.. I counted.. there were still 21 when I came home.. LOL
