I enjoyed the get together today very much and so did the kiddos! It was nice seeing some of you again and meeting the others for the first time. Betsy, your quilts are beautiful! I'm so glad you accidentally brought the one of your Mom and the fish one is amazing!
So the thorazine I put in their milk this morning worked...I'll remember that! LOL! Actually, they are pretty good kids. They got the play their Nintendos today at the restaurant so they were happy. Those are usually only for playing in the car. Except for Brayden,who gets to play his when he's wearing his eye patch.. (he's legally blind in his left eye and is stuck wearing a patch over his good eye for 4 hours a day to strengthen his bad eye. His ophthalmologist actually told me he NEEDED to play the Mintendo, Brayden was thrilled to hear that!)
The drive out wasn't that bad. You've got to remember, I drive an hour each way to work and about 40 minutes to get to the grocery store, so we're really used to driving. Just throw Harry Potter on and we're good.
I did stop at the apple store on the way home and there was nothing wrong with my phone at all. Brayden just discovered one of the new features on the new iPhone that I didn't know about (or how to get out of it). All I need to do was tap the screen twice with 3 fingers. I was seriously freaking over it!
It was fun and I'm looking forward to the next one!

First time I have ever looked at the OT board and missed the meeting by less than 12 hours... Sorry I missed it, I am in Falls Church.
Keep me posted on the next one, I will try to make it - that is, if you allow non-Oberon folks into the group!

There is plenty of time for more posts to this thread. Including any more pics that were taken that can be shared. Just a quick reminder that we have already agreed that the next meet will be in Columbia, Maryland in September. There is plenty of time to select a date and time and exact location, although I seem to recall that the general concensus was that Columbia Mall would be the easiest for those unfamiliar with the area to find. And one of the thought that crept in was the concept of a "national meet" sometime in the future. After NY gets their meet and perhaps Dallas area has one and who else?  ?? Just sayin...... |

Ok.
Start giving me some suggestions for date.
I assume that the week before Labor Day is no good because of people getting kids ready to go back to school or getting them adjusted to the first few days of it. LDay is the 7th. Monday. I am also (I hope not incorrectly) assuming that the week of the 7th is also bad.
So the week of 9/14 through 9/18 looks possible?
And the 1-4 time frame for starters?
Give me some early feedback here and I will start a new thread with a vote, once we get some dates to vote on suggested.
Just organizin.....

the 17th would work for me. For now, that is. Hopefully nothing else will be added to that week.

Your proposed time frame sounds good. . . .why don't you pick a few days and do a poll (start a new thread) like we did the one other time?
