FINALLY I get to make a freeper event, and what a great one to have as my inaugural opportunity! Got to meet Jim Rob and so many fun folks!

Of course, seeing TXBubba's beautiful little ones reminded me that Mrs mil-vet and I are STILL going through "beautiful granddaughter withdrawal"; our third son-in-law returned from his lonely year overseas (in April) and reclaimed his family - they're now at Ft Lewis, WA, so far away - sigh! Hocndoc used her most professional bedside manner and made us feel all better, though - *SMILE*!

Of course the brilliant reparte (I TOLD y'all I couldn't spell! Think phonetically - all soft vowels - with the accent on the last "te" which sounds like "tay") added immeasurably to the experience! Can't wait to see how the pictures turned out.....then again, maybe I shouldn't be so enthusiastic about the ones I might be in.....don't want to scare all the women and children - GRIN

Sounds like it was an absolutely great time and I wish I could have made the trip.

As Ms.AntiFeminazi says "If you've never been to a freepmeet, just do it. Meeting online friends in person is such a great experience." - So true!

Oh gads, I keep telling my husband we need to move to San Antonio. Yet another reason to move there. What a fantastic city, and when we visited, I met the nicest people in the whole world. I actually pouted at the airport when we had to leave. Not pretty, I can tell you. Glad you all had fun, and maybe someday we'll be lucky enough to go back to your wonderful state.

It was great to get together with my fellow freepers yesterday at Mamacita's. It was such an honor to eat lunch with our Father in Freepdom, Jim Robinson, and his family.
It was also wonderful to put a face to some names I see on different postings, and to catch up on the news of freepers I know but haven't seen in awhile.

Sorry I couldn't make it. I was recovering from my retirement party (Saturday and into the night) most of the day.

Well, I started uploading a few of the pictures I took yesterday and ran into a snag. As it is, y'all aren't missing much. The camera didn't work too well. Anyhow, three pictures made the trip into the netherworld, and here they are:

I enjoyed the company, the food (too much), and finally meeting you all.
It was a special privilege to get to thank Mr. Robinson for saving us all from having no outlet for our frustrations and ambitions the last 6 years or so. No one else could have given us the organization and focus (we know because others have tried!).

(Thank you Gracey, MAF, and Guido. And welcome to the Texans from all over. Y'all come back!)

I must add my two bits: And a good time was had by all.

Sure wish some more of our Texas FReepers had made it out; it is so great meeting you folks.

Thanks to Gracey, Guido, MAF, and others, who put so much into making this event a success.

I am so sorry it took me so long to reply. We lost our cable modem this past week and I'm just catching up.

We enjoyed meeting everyone!

Here are some pictures I took, I apologize that I don't have all the names of everyone there. I'll try to be better organized next time. (Click on the image if you want to see a larger version.)

TXGrandmom, Slyfox, Gracy, who is as sweet in person as she seems from her posts.

Benr2 and Guido, a sparkling, charming woman full of fun!

Ms. AntiFeminazi, Jim Robinson, Sheila and Chris

I hope someone will help me with the names for this photo. Unfortunately Ms Antifeminazi has her back to the camera in this shot, Gracey is next, I think SlyFox is to the right of Gracey, TX Granmom is next.

Mr Hocndoc and Hocndoc, and I am sorry, I don't know the others.

Orville Robinson, Mrs MIL-VET and MIL-VET, Mr Hocndoc and Hocndoc

TallTexan and Mr. IVote2

Ravingnutter and TxBubba.

I missed a couple of people, TheSarce and several others, including TxBubba's two children who are super kids and her sweet husband. I truly hope I have all the names correct, if I don't I apologize, I will do better next time!

Jen(Praying as I hit post, since HTML and I hate each other!!!)
