What are you doing?

[4AMNTN]

well we certainly understand that!

[4AMNTN]

Dan! are you having a nice trip?

[4AMNTN]

Gis and YB - Guess WHAT! Dan was in town with his wife & we actually got to meet. WOW, right. I have been so thankful for his friendship and kind words - and it was possible because we ALL stuck it out. Gis, thanks for keeping TBJ going & to y'all for the "talk". We had a great lunch - found out things about each other, then too soon it was time to go.
I'm just so thankful for it all.
PICTURES to come!

[YB]

That sounds excellent, glad you had a good meet and catch up

Great to hear 4, amazing how small the world can be sometimes

Thank you again for buying me lunch, 4! Also thank you again for the gifts. That was so thoughtful of you. We had a good trip. Meeting you in person was one of the highlights, definitely! I loved yours and Kevin's TN accents. Y'all probably thought I was the one with the accent!

Gis and YB, you don't know this yet, but on the second full day of our trip I found out my Mom had taken a turn for the worse and was dying. She passed the following day. We were two time zones away and weren't able to be there, but she had three grandchildren and two other friends who stepped in and spent hours talking to her and playing music as she was passing. Needless to say, the rest of the trip was an up and down gamut of emotions.

Am so sorry to hear this Dan, condolences to you and your family

[YB]

That's awful, Dan. Awful at any time but especially when you are miles away

[4AMNTN]

Dan I hope y'all got home safely - I was wondering about the events with your mom & how the family was ALL holding up. I'm so sorry for your loss .
Funny, I didn't think of our accents - ha! When we got home I played Wilford Brimley and Kevin said "yep that's it". What a wonderful comparison.
Again, thinking of you & your family

Trying to put up 4th decorations this weekend. Lordy it's HOT! Hope everyone is good out there!

Good idea that, Dan. Maybe some of them will return

Here's what Fiona had to say:

Wow! Blast from the past. Hello 4A, AKA Cindy. What a pleasure to see your face. We did have some good times on that forum. You're both looking excellent.
