I JUST WANTED TO EXTEND A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL THE FAMILIES THAT

CAME TO OUR 1ST ANNUAL RSS GETHERING TODAY!!!! Fun was had by all,

the kids really had a blast!!! I hope everyone had a safe trip back

home and look forward to seeing you all again soon!!! I will post

the pics that I took to one of my yahoo albums and will then post

the link for all to see!!! The only thing I forgot to do was get a

group shot, but there is always next year!!!(and there will

definitly be a next year). I hope everyone left with a full belly

since we had enough food to feed an army!!! Thanks to Jen B. family

for making a majority of the food for us!!! And Thanks to Jodi Z.

for getting the Madison Community House, for making sure the kids

were entertained, your center pieces, and for your desserts!!

Thanks to our babysitters (they probably now dropped from

exhaustion!!!!)

And to all the families that couldnt make it, keep it in mind for

next Oct. we would Love to have you there!!!

Ah, Jodie, you beat me to it. Yes, it was a fun day. I've already

got plans for next year's gathering. As you said, I hope everyone

made it home safely and the little ones got some well-deserved

sleep. They were running around so much that they made ME tired!

Everyone in the area, please keep in mind that we are going to do

this again next year. I will reserve the Community House again and

I hope that we have even more people. Believe me, it's worth it

just for the food! 's family can really cook. My husband

was in love with the spaghetti sauce (gravy) and it is now safely

stored in my freezer for a cold winter night's dinner.

and Jodie, once again I thank you for taking care of all

the food. And, Jodie, the pinata was a great idea.

Now I am going to crawl into bed and watch the Yankees. I will

probably not stay up to see the end, though. I am too tired.
