Well I am home after a wonderful day spent with two fantastic members. I drove down to Milwaukee looking around for Kitkatz. Well I had a pretty good idea what side of town I would find her as she was wearing this 12 foot long Purple Boa. She wasn't too hard to find. We decided to spend a few hours at the art museum on the shore of Lake Michigan. I will let Kitkatz share her pictures and tell you more about the museum. Around Noon we decided to go to the hospital and visit Boxman. The doctors would not let him sit up because of the procedure that he had done on his legs needed to heal. After we had our visit with Boxman I decided to take Kitkatz out for lunch to Maders which is authentic German cuisine, and it was wonderful and the only resteraunt that valets your car to save you 20 extra feet to walk but what the heck we felt important. After eating I dropped Kitkatz back off on the same corner I mean the same place I picked her up. Actually it was her Daughters dorm at the MSOE. (Milwuakee School of Engineering)

Great picture!  Boxman, Susie would be proud of you--you wear the boa well!   Kit, hoping you are having a great trip.  Sluff, you do get around don't you?   And how would you know which side of town? Been there before? :rofl;

Sluff -- thanks for the picture!  I was worried about Box all day -- hey, he looks good in that boa!  I just have one question -- where the hell are the silk jammies?  I was ready for them and wanted to see them ...  :popcorn;.  I guess Sluff snuck them in his pocket when Box wasn't looking.  :rofl;   Somebody better cough up a picture in the silk jammies !!  :rofl;

Seriously ... thanks, Sluff!  That's a beautiful picture!

Thanks for lunch boss.  It was great conversation. The Art Museum here is great. We saw about half of it.  Very easy to get lost in it.  Getting together with other members is great and I enjoy it much

What great pictures!  I'm so happy for the 3 of you that you got to meet up.  :)

Boxman - I hope the procedure works and you can finally heal.  :thumbup;

Yes - Kitkatz does look like a tiny little girl in that chair and Sluff doesn't look too much bigger standing beside it!  ;D

And a jolly time was had by all.  Oh except Box, but you look pretty good for a sick man.  Hope those
stents work and you heal right up.  Kit you look wonderful in that purple boa.  Sluff maybe you ought to get you one. ;) ;) ;)

Thanks for the great pics, the boas are certainly getting round, can't wait for mine to get across the ocean (thanks Petey  :thx;( will post pic when it arrives.

Boxman I hope you will soon be able to look at this post and know that despite all the laughter we are all a little sad to see you in a hospital bed and hope you will soon be healed and back on your feet. (particularly sad that you are in a hospital bed and NOT the silk PJs we ladies had all been waiting to see  :rofl; Look after yourself  :grouphug;

Box, you're looking good (the boa makes the outfit!). Hope this works and you can start on the road to recovery.

Sluff and Kit, sounds like you two had a great time. Thanks for sharing the pictures!
