So - who has met face to face

I`ve met Sheena, Carolyn, Noelle and Rosemary Peeler - and NEARLY met Tegan! Better luck next time, Tegan!

Pat

LOL! I`ll charge it up ready for you!

The Stitching Post is having its open house on Saturday Dec 2nd.

Great. Now I have a craving for a reuben at the Celebrity Delly. It was dangerous living right around the corner from that place.

D> I'm soooo jealous. Both DH & I miss real, honest to goodness deli.

I think so... I'm great with faces, but names....oh... very bad.. I THINK I met TIA Mary in Des Moines, but I'm not sure. I've met Paula, Elizabeth (LizardGumbo), hhmm.... had near misses with Sheena and Gillian both, and even been in the same country as Pat but couldn't seem to make it that far away from London. Caryn and I have chatted on the phone, IM'd daily until we both went back to work full time, but have yet to meet face to face. I'm sure there are names I'm missing, but as I said, faces I'm pretty good with, names I'm awful with. Tegan

Gosh...I've been hanging out so long here I feel I have met most of you face to face! In reality I've only met Sheena, Ruby, Karen and Sarah from Truro, who posts occasionally. I have exchanged visits with a friend from Ohio, who I met here after making my first post 12 years ago, although she no longer participates. Great friendships have been made and maintained by email over the years through this group!

Hurrah!

Only if we drive! LOL

Oh my, I could hear my DMIL in my head reading the description of the bagels. Good bagels are holy grail scale quest locally....

Hi guys, No problem. I had fun meeting you all and look forward to the next Celebrations. I haven't been posting much. Stitching is going slowly for me but I still pick up my project and work on it from time to time and I do check in on the newsgroup once and awhile. Hopefully I'll finish my current project someday. I did finish the Crystal Winter design I took at Celebrations last time awhile ago but still need to figure out what to do with it. Maybe I'll just get it framed.

It's about 2 miles from the St Lucie West exit on I-95 to my door, and you would want to take I-95 down, so it wouldn't even be out of your way.

It's strange ... I went to Spirit & Heart of XS festivals in Des Moines at least three years and I'm not certain I really met anyone other than the instructors. My own fault since I never got around to doing an @ badge, I suppose, and the fact that I lived only 30 minutes away so never stayed at the hotel. The savings from that meant I could do 7-8 classes each year instead of just a couple though.

LOL - hmmm - that sounds like a crowd in Catonsville! Caryn? Sue? Other Sue? Erika - I know you'll be in the throes of Nutcrackerdom.

Gillian - when are you coming up???

Will send you a note separately - I'm tired of dealing with IRS stuff right now. Could go out for a bite later? Wonder if Tia Mary will want me to pick up some RG for her.

LOL - SW to West Palm. Better than driving, unless you're shopping along the way. When I moved from Miami to Pittsburgh, DM decided to drive with me (going off to grad school). We refer to it as the great tour of outlet malls & factory stores. Evidently that was her reasoning - 1st night - in Orlando. Then we stayed somewhere in S. GA - she'd seen the sign for the Le Creuset factory - we had to backtrack in the morning to go visit (I still have 2 casseroles, and 2 au gratin dishes). Hmmm, then we went to NC - for me to work at summer camp helping the owner for a few days, and her to visit friends in Lake Lure. Leaving there - passed thru the outlet malls in Greensboro. Moving on - hmmm- I think we made it to DC - stayed with crazy extended family aunt & uncle. Went to outlet mall near here. Moved on to stay with real aunt and uncle in Ft. Lee, NJ. Visit Seacaucus. Visit real mall as well, and some other NJ/NY shopping place that isn't elsewhere. Drive to Pittsburgh. Check into hotel. Get keys to new place from landlord. DM freaks out at my ala Flashdance but not so nice - attic apartment in old house. Really freaks out - about narrow stairs from real landing into my 2 rooms upstairs. But, it was really big, and had a new bathroom. Mom ruined her manicure, and took apart the stove to clean it - said the place reminded her of her newly married little place in Brooklyn. So, after freaking she had a great time. But, it was quite the trip. We stayed in the hotel for about 5 days until my furniture came, and she could fly home.

Well, NH - not exactly known for the Eastern European Jewish immigrant population..... I'm trying to remember where we used to get them when I was working up there - but drawing a blank. Probably someplace in Lexington ;^)

ellice

At this point I'm free!

Caryn

Yes. Worse yet, not only will there be rehearsal most of the day, but DH will be partially out of commission, having just returned from a business trip on the red eye. So, I'll likely be shuttling between running to rehearsals and keeping dancers fed and chasing the small fry. But, I might get some time to sit and stitch during parts of the rehearsals if I'm not having to chase the small one! Less than four weeks and it's all over... ;-)

Best wishes, Ericka

Ericka - are they in the Corps d'Ballet for the Washington Ballet production? Just curious.

When I was in jr hi, high school - my best friend was a dancer - danced with the Miami Ballet once she was about 15. We constantly had to plan around dancing, and her fanatic worry that a size 2p was getting fat. My favorite picture - at dress rehearsal for something - she kicked Edward Vilella in the head. She was turning in some high arabesque (a clown in La Sylphide?) and I guess he came by a little too close, and whump. It was funny - in a shocking way. I learned to do stage make-up by working at the ballet. She went on to an MBA in Arts Admin & worked for ABT (and while only then an amatuer dancer - did get to take classes from the gorgeous Mischa). It was always fun to visit there. Anyhow - I remember Nutcracker seasons from my youth.

We'll do another outing when you've got some breathing time.
