Gathering in South Florida
Moderator: S2k Moderators
What a night! Excellent company, echoing of the statements (and sentiments) all those who were there have said here... I also was one who wished it would never end. Too bad some some had to leave after a while and that we all left too soon! We really discovered things we never knew about eachother and met all together in person. The food was excellent, and the company and talking together/listening was priceless! I took several pictures of the other members using Barbara's (BocaGirl's) digital camera. I'll ask her for the images, and I'll try to send them out to some of you if you want! The restaurant and location was really great for a gathering! Too bad that Mike couldn't make it!
I wish we could have done this longer! Thanks for all coming, Jim/hiflyer (you're nice to have around), Morcy/flstorms (VERY pleasant, and you made a surprise appearance), Barbara/BocaGirl (you're the best), Dave/fci (you're so ambiant and great to have, too), Steve/boca and Nathan/SouthFloridawx (you both are awesome, great friends, and thanks for planning it out), Rich/weatherwindow and company (you know so much, Rich, and you're great company), and all the others who were a part! Too many thanks to say! We really got to know eachother!

A good time was had by all.

Have you uploaded them from your camera onto your computer? You can use a site like Webshots Community or ImageShack to host them and post them on here. If you need any further help, don't hesitate to ask here or you can PM me. I'll do my best to help.

Yeah we'll have to help you with that. What kind of camera is it and do you still have your instructions book? We'll hook you up Barbara..!

Here are the pictures from our South Florida Gathering.
CapeVerdeWave took this set so he doesn't appear. Hopefuly he can post some of the pictures taken by his parents.
Notice we all look like drowned rats...it was pouring when we got to to the Quarterdeck.

We did have fun! There wasn't the stiffness or shyness that usally happens when a group of people who have never met before gets together. It was like we'd known each other for years!
In fact fci and I discovered that we have a really good mutual friend. Isn't that called "Six degrees of separation?"
The one drawback to the evening was the rain and even that was okay since everyone there got wet. Drenched! Thank goodness for Steve's (boca's) big umbrella. It made several trips to the parking meters across the street.
SouthFloridaWx and I talked last night. We are thinking that we're going to plan another evening in July, maybe in Boynton Beach. The plans will be less formal this time. Maybe the group will be a regular, monthly thing.....who knows.
Come and join us.
Stay tuned.

Here are some more with me in the photos. Here are some pictures my dad took at the gathering in Fort Lauderdale.
Me and Nathan (SouthFloridawx, at right) were waiting it out and chatting until the others arrived in this photo below just outside the front entrance... we had quite a bit of fun and really got to know eachother!
Me and Nathan (at right) waiting it out below while it pours... wow! What a soaking we all got for sure!
Here we all are inside the bar! From left to right clockwise: Marcy (flstorms) next to me and behind her husband (I presume) in front of her; Marcy's husband (again, I presume it and believe it is); Jim (hiflyer) popping in; Dave's (fci's) daughter (Jessica); Dave (fci) himself; Steve (boca); Nathan (SouthFloridawx); Rich (weatherwindow) in empty seat (he came back after a short break); Bill (Barbara/BocaGirl's husband); Barbara (BocaGirl) herself; me (CapeVerdeWave).
My mom (left) and Grandma Sarah (my dad's mother) below...
All of us chatting together (Jim/hiflyer, Marcy/flstorms, and Marcy's husband - I believe he is her husband - are also doing so but are not shown). What a great time!
Similar picture below to the one above... continuing to have a great time!
Me, Rich, Nathan, and Steve chatting together; Barbara, Morcy, Jim, and the others are enjoying themselves in the background.
We really had a great time! What true friends we all are now for sure as this small group!
