    Orangemat, to clarify, I am already on the list though I was a "maybe" now a "definately." Sounds like the restaurant will be flexible at any rate.

    Hi, I would love to join all you wonderful ladies! 

    I'm  coming from north Jersey, Haledon, so let me know should anyone want to join me to ride down. 

    Thanks!

    Now see, this is why I had the reservation for 21! :)

    Hi Laura, Judyfams and I are driving down from Bergen County, so you're welcome to drive with us. I'll send you a PM with my address.

    Looks like I may be a tad delayed but should be there no later than 2 so save me a space.

    It was the lunch that would (happily!) never end! I had a lovely time, and it was great to finally match up faces to the names. Happy birthday again, proudtospin!

    Betsy, here's a direct link to my FB page. Hope that helps.

    Great  way to spend a birthday! It is special to talk to others in this club we never asked to join! 

    It was good to meet all and to compare life! 

     Hope to meet up with you guys again, did someone say Point pleasant in July?

    And more happy birthday wishes to Orangemat, who likes the color green, and Proudtospin, who in addition to wearing green today, also likes to sew! See, this chemobrain is working pretty darn well, if I do say so myself :)

    Wonderful day, wonderful restaurant, but most of all wonderful ladies!

    Hope to see you all again soon.  Do you think this time we can arrange a luncheon in fewer than 7 pages of posts???????????

    Happy Birthday(again) to Proudtospin and Orangemat!

    Thank you Candie for starting this get-together thread!

    All the best,

    was 7 pages overboard?

    gave us all time to get....our thoughts together!

    now I am tired and I had only a few miles to drive and it has been a longer time for me since ending treatment than others!  Off to bed ladies for me and thanks again for a special birthday celebration

    Great afternoon.  How nice to meet such a positive group of women, despite all we've been through.

    Thanks to all of you - it was great!

    I don't think my FB is searchable - and I go by a silly name - so here's the direct link:  https://www.facebook.com/jemmer58.  Please friend me!  My real name is Joan Oliver Emmer but you know me as joanquilts!

    OrangeMat/Esther - looks like we already have two FB/Fairlawn/Edison friends in common!

    Ha, as soon as I remembered you were from Edison, it clicked that you knew these two sisters! Such a small world.... :)

    Thanks all for a great gathering.   It was fun and I'm looking forward to more of the same.  Betsy I just sent you a 'friend' request on FB, a miracle that I was able to do that (your link helped)!  Like I said, I don't go on FB too often and get lost whenever I do venture over.  Looking forward to seeing some of the pictures you all took.

    Thanks, Candie and all! It was so great to meet you all. It was amazing how I felt instantly at home among this group. And the restaurant staff couldn't have been nicer -- truly the best service I've had since moving to NJ 5 years ago! Have to get over to FB and find y'all there now!

    Hi everyone,  Had a wonderful, wonderful time.   I just clicked to friend Vanessa (who likes horses). So, will be planning an outing to Point Pleasant in July.  How about we start with lunch at a seafood restaurant and then go on for an afternoon at the beach?  (I promise to wear shoes in the restaurant.)

    Sounds like you all had a wonderful time - sorry I missed it!  Would love to meet you all next time (did I hear Pt. Pleasant in July???).  Liz (Montgomery Township, NJ)

    Oh good Sandy.. so I guess they won't kick us out... Or maybe down at the beach shoes are required.

    Liz... yes, come!!

    What a wonderful get together yesterday. I get tears in my eyes when I think about it. It was such a pleasure to meet you all. Can't wait to do it again ...looking forward to it, Sandy.

    I am so glad the Moderators commented on this. It is because of them that we  can have this connection with one another that will last a lifetime.

    hugs to all
