I wish I could have been there. It looks and sounds like you had a great time. Maybe next time I won't have to work!  :'(

I've been away from the computer for some time due to illness so I missed out.

It sounds like a great time was had by all, and I'm really sorry I missed out.
Especially since I am only "down the street" in Pickering!!!

I hope you can repeat the exercise.

Cheers,

Rob.

Hic!!! we all had a good time downing our rootbeers. Thx karen for making this event happen. I think we all had a gr8 time and we should consider doing it again next year. Finding out there are some common issues (thought I was alone dealing with them in the far north) was  a good experience. The timing of the gathering was great for me, coming from a family reunion the day before. The ladies accomplished a feat - I don't like having my photo taken and pretty good at avoiding it, so getting me anywhere near the camera was amazing to me  :o

As followup, Kiddo and I made it to do some work for Indi's family - another enjoyable time for me. This was a first experience for me trying to trace someone's family off-line and in the "real" world  :) Hopefully, the info we collected will help out Indi.

Anyway, hope we have another gathering of the Ontario chatters.

Hi Geni,

You may be right...lol. However, it's best to organize holidays early so I can request vacation time at right time. For me anything more than a couple of days has to be planned well ahead - you know employers, no last minute things ;D
