Pic 1- Kitkatz
Pic 2- The Group
Pic 3- The Riverside Foothills beyond their area.  I took the back streets home and got myself thoroughly lost but the foot hils were beautiful.

I am so happy to see the photos.I just now got home from enumerating all day. Yesterday the crew leader (a new one because ours got laid off, partly due to pur below-par performance) counted up our binders and divided up all the work - with a big push to finish by 9:00 tonight! They told us to work overtime and to do whatever it took to get all the unfinished census forms counted. I am exhausted. I wish I could have made the party - looks like great fun. I am so sorry but hopefully there will be another one! Thanks for hosting Jean. Kit, I will get the dresses from you. I love my IHD family!

 :cheer: :yahoo; :thumbup; : :bow;

Thank you, Jean and Bob.  Mr Renalwife and I had a wonderful time.  We met everyone and it was as tho everyone knew each other all their life.  What camaraderie!

We had hot dogs with and without mustard.  Cold drinks which were really appreciated because it was a rather warmish day, (altho there was a very pleasant breeze).  And fresh fruit, and chocolate cake with coconut and a bit of butterscotch, and some take-home brownies.  Mr. Renalwife had a cup of coffee,along with the rest of the goodies.

We talked about lots of stuff.  and laughed a lot.  KitKat was a real pearl.  The ladies were beautiful and the men handsome. 

Thank you, Jean for hosting, thank you Bob for grilling the dogs, (note to the AHS, they were hot dogs), Thank you Paris for the beautiful purple blanket and carrier
 that you stitched with IHD.  Thank you KitKat for the prizes in the drawing.  It was fun seeing what each of us had won.

Looking foreward to the next meet.   Renalwife, aka Patty.

Patty, I am so glad that you and Tom came. You are such a delight, and added so much to the party. Your sense of humor contributed so much to making it a great day. However, I wanted that purple blanket and was seriously thinking of mugging you, but with your spirit, you probably could have wiped me out, LOL

Jean if you still are having problems uplading pictures let me know. You can send me an email of one of them to test to see if there is a problem uplading the file type.

Renalwife,  I am glad you liked the blanket.  I wasn't sure if anyone would see it.  Jean had mentioned keeping it for herself.   :rofl;    Sounds like a great time. Wish I had been there.

And I forgot to mention the potato salad.  It was sooooo good.  I think Jean said she put some horseradish in it.  And I took some of Jean's brownies home.  Yep, good with ice cold rice milk.

And yes, Paris, I just love the blanket.   I'm not on dialysis (and don't plan on that experience in the near future), so I  curled up with the blanket and took a nice nap..  It was so soft and pretty.

I'm looking foreward to L.V. whenever that will be.  It is just up the street from me, via I-15 from San Diego. :grouphug;

Wish I could have been there but I was on the road. I just got home today first time since April 18th. I leave for Hawaii on Thursday morning, which is why I couldn't make the meetup. I will take pictures of Hawaii next weekend and post those for those of you that are interested.

Thank you to everyone who made this meeting a success, as usual Kitkatz and Paris came through. IHD is so blessd to have these Ladies as members. May God Bless you both....  :grouphug;
