Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
I've been neglectful of posting the last few days. I've been so busy.
Talula is a terrific host, and I've wanted for nothing. It has been a delight putting faces to the names. For me, it has been long overdue.
Everyone has been terrific. I do kinda feel like the new kid at school though. I don't have the history or experiences of Kristoff, Paolo, River, talula, Jesus, or any of the others that have arrived. I'm kinda scared to jump in, for fear of putting my foot in my mouth, or some other less comfortable orifice. They are all very welcoming and terrific though. Thanks guys.
Finally got to meet janekane, Danya, notifwhen, Uncle Flo. Who am I forgetting? Anyhow, despite my poor memory everyone has been terrific. Just an awesome bunch of people.
And food? I have never eaten so much or so well. I'm already fat, but on my flight back, they may have to send me air freight. If I continue to eat this good, I may have to walk home just to burn the calories off.
I'm so thankful to be here. If you haven't been, you gotta come.
Thanks for inviting me. I need to make this pilgrimage every year. Highly recommended!
What I do not recommend is sleeping in your car while you wait for your flight out. So I could catch my flight on time, I had to take a ferry the night before. I thought, "No big deal." I was wrong. Sore back, legs tangled up in the steering column. I am not a kid anymore, and should have known better. Ah, well, as janekane says, there are no mistakes, only learning experiences.
Coming to MoM, was certainly NOT a mistake, but has been a wonderful learning experience.
I'm promised more good things to come. I can hardly wait. I don't know how they'll top Kristoff's steaks, or Paolo's cauliflower salad... so good... so full.
Just roll me home when it's over.

Glad you liked dinner. I don't think we had much left over.
The "Goats in Villages" white wine was disappointing, though.
And how is it I always end up doing the dishes?!

Sorry. My ride was leaving the station. I'd have happily washed or dried dishes for you. I ended up leaving sooner than I'd expected.
Make sure I don't dodge my responsibility next time. I'm not allergic to dish soap.
Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
Seriously, though...
It's because I'm usually the one who ends up leaving last, and I'm the one who usually destroys the Sister's kitchen!

Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
Thanks for washing everything. I wiped what wasn't dry. everything is put away now. Kitchen looks "normal" again. Did you get "dish pan hands?"
Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
My blood sugar reading was down to 101, even with eating that ear of corn.
No, my hands are fine! And my butt will be, too, now that we went and got some decent toilet paper to replace with hotel stuff - "The John Wayne Brand" that's rough and tough and don't take no shit off of nobody!
I hope someone got George rescued, too!

Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
I had a great time at today's wine and cheese party, graciously hosted by Jesus and Paolo. Today, just like last night, I left early so as not to risk my ongoing pelvic pain recovery. But I absolutely did not want to leave! I met really sweet new folks and got to see old friends for the first time in two years. The food yesterday and today was terrific. Thanks to those who have made all this possible.
Re: 2012 Midwest MoM
We're glad you were here for as long as you were, Danya. Always great to see you!
We had a nice field trip today to Crystal Cave - The EA Flying Circus 7 stories below ground! Then it was wine and cheese, and then off to the ol' Hog Trough to pig out.
I think a good time was had by all.
