What a great picture!  Aleta has her IHD button on!   :2thumbsup;   That is wonderful that you two could spend time together.  Thanks for sharing the picture.  Epoman always said it never happened unless there was a picture.

I just have a warm feeling whenever I hear of IHD members meeting.  Before it was also tinged with jealousy, but now I have had my meeting with Livecam, and my reunion in Las Vegas!!  It is great when we meet!! :grouphug;
Thanks for the picts!

Hi, everyone.

I can't tell you have happy I was to be able to make this personal connection with Mizar!  :cuddle;

We met near the Knoxville airport and had such a nice chat over chips and salsa for those who want the food connection!

 :rofl;

I felt that in a way we were connecting with all of you, too.

Thanks, Mizar for sharing the  :pics;
