I met Donnia today for lunch in San Antonio, along with her husband, daughter and two good friends.  We ate at Chuy's and all enjoyed yummy Mexican food.  I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Donnia and her family.  She's an absolute doll!   We took a few photos, but I have to take the rest of the roll and then get developed before I can post.  Should be sometime this week.   :beer1;

I was nice!  I wish all the San Antonians (and surrounding areas) would could get together for a dinner.  I'll arrange it if they will contact me!  Twirl, maybe you could even drive in!

I soooo enjoyed meeting Kelly!  She is such a sweetie.  My husband, daughter and friends thought it was neat to meet someone who had also been through a transplant!  Would love to have a Texas get together :)  I would love to go to Vegas and meet everyone but I am not sure we will be able to afford it.  Maybe next year though!

Meetings with IHD family members are always so thrilling!   Even if I am not there, I feel the excitement.  Of course, I will be more excited when I see the picts (hint, hint)

So glad you guys got to meet.  It is the best feeling when you meet someone you know so much about, but finally get to be together face to face.  I am anxious to see pictures too!! :pics;

I am sure a great time was had by everyone.  I love meeting IHD.com people.  If Texas people get together I am there, even though I am a Californian and eat my grits with sugar and buttah!

Hopefully, I'm going to have lunch with Nursewratchet very soon and if she will/can help me I want to get a Texas meeting on the books.  But not until either spring or fall.  It's way too hot here in the summer.

It was that particular digital camera, not digital cameras in general.  It was an HP and when I bought it I was promised it could do so many cool things.  I would take about five photos before it would say low battery and then turn off.  I freaking hated that camera and it was it's bad fortune that it was the first camera I found that day when wanted to take a photo.  I put new batteries in it and everything.  I couldn't stand that camera!!!!    :boxing; :boxing;

Your not the only one Kelly who had problems with HP cameras. It was a known problem in reviews of HP cameras when the first came out.
