Where to start? This past weekend was the best ever.
I had the awesomest and bestest crowd of people visiting here.

All the dip has been eaten, I fed the last of the boobie cake to Dawn's Michael on Saturday night, the molting feathers from boas have been vaccuumed up, the pink ballons have been popped, all the rooms are cleaned and
I miss you all so much already.
It's like post Diversity depression!
The only thing thing that perks me up a little is looking at Sparky's
rainbow boa that is still twinkling. Like Sparky, it keeps on going and going and going.

I don't have the words to describe this awesome feeling of love and friendship and true diversity that I felt this weekend.
The Meet & Greet on Friday was the best. THANK YOU to everyone that came and THANK YOU to everyone for bringing so much stuff. Tequila, limeade, lime juice, colored Margarita salt, cookies, tortilla roll-ups, dips (Georgie you are the Queen of dip making! YUMM), chips, mountains of crackers, potato and tortilla chips, cranberry chutney, raspberry chipotle sauce over cream cheese, black bean salsa, salsa dip, honey mustard dip with pretzels, nut bread, flavored cream cheese, hamburger cookies (I have never seen a cuter cookie in my life and soooo good), potato salad and boobie cake. I may have forgotten something, please forgive me if I did.

And then there was the BRISKET!
You know, Joleen, in a way I was glad you forgot that hunk of meat at home, because cooking that brisket in my kitchen while we were making boobie cake on Thursday night was so nice and so much fun.
We got to talk and joke and have a good time.
I know the meat didn't measure up to your and Darcie's standards, but I and everyone else thought it was the most delicious and the best we have ever eaten. Covered in your and Darcie's BBQ sauce it was full of flavor and just melted in your mouth. It was definitely the highlight of all the food at the party. THANK YOU both so much for doing this, TWICE :roll:

On top of all of this there were even birthday surprises just for me. You guys brought me to tears with your thoughtfulness. Even people that I had never met before showered me with love that touched my heart to the core.
I will never forget this.
Because of you, my garden will be the most beautiful and colorful ever this year with all the yard art and decor and wonderful plants and bulbs you have given me.

Well, I could go on and on and on about all of you wonderful people and this awesome weekend.
I feel so blessed having all of you in my lives and being able to count you
as my friends.
Everyone left their rooms picked up and neat. Thank you for that as well.
I cannot wait til November to do it all over again!
Much love to all of you and THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU a million times over for everything, but especiallly for your love and friendship!

:D Renate, I know what you mean about Diversity Depression/DD. I was so down about leaving and having to get back to the routine we all know as work. Lisa and I live in a town where you can't be free to be who you are and with my job, I'm confined even more, so I can sympathize, but as the saying goes, all good things come to an end. But, that doesn't mean we can't have more good times as well. Sometime or another we would like to try and stay with you sometime. I know this may sound redundant(maybe misspelled), but it was so wonderful seeing everyone again and can't wait to do it all again.

That is so sad that you can't be yourself at home :(

However, you you said it well Angela, all good things come to an end, but there will be more good times ahead of us. For sure! Even bigger and better!

Angela and Lisa, I am so glad you made it to the Meet and Greet even though it was at the very end and I didn't even get a chance to say good bye to you. I am glad you two had a wonderful time this weekend.
I knew you would.

See you all in November,
Renate

:D Renate-we probably should have come in to say bye, but we didn't want to bother you since you were probably busy. Yes it is a shame that people aren't more open minded, but there is always Eureka. Georgie, once again it was good chatting with you as well.

Oh, I can't wait until November!
Nick and I are just so honored that you and Darci are renewing your vows here at Sherwood Forest.
It will be wonderful.
Denise, the wedding coordinator has already started planning and Dawn, the flower girl is all excited.

Brock, oh my goodness, Brock really deserves his very own topic.
Man oh man, I was just blown away.
You looked so good, I would not have recognize you on the street. What a transformation, what a show you put on! I cannot believe that was your first time!
You and Alana, aka A.K.West were the highlight of the evening, that's for sure! You GUYS got us straight girls screaming and all hot and bothered!
We were all over you two. Thanks for sharing Darci :wink: .
I need to get me those pictures!

Big hugs and much love,
Renate

Shelly & Yvette,

you're too funny.
Too bad the reservations didn't work out, but I knew that you were in good hands with Lee and Kel at the Tradewinds. Aren't they just the best?
And the suite you had is one of my favorites.

I am so glad you two made it to the Meet & Greet. Thank you so much for
coming. It was such a pleasure to meet you even though we didn't get much chance to talk.
I was busy mixing "lemonade". 19 pitchers all together!

It really was like a big huge family gathering; the love and friendship was
heart warming. Was a good thing too, because it was just a little cold out.
And of course you are right, our Sparky was the brightest thing in the place. He is the most adorable little puppy dog. I just love him to death.
Hi Sparky boy!

Ahhh, the nipples!
Next time I have Dawn bring me at least a dozen nipples, if they let her into the bakery again. She told them what they were for and I think the people looked at her a little funny. :shock:
Do you know that we made almost $ 50 for Eureka Kids from the nipple
raffle?

The vow renewal and the next Meet & Greet will be the first weekend in November.
Mark your calenders.
It's a tradition now!
