    The reservation is under the last name Quick. I did leave an extra spot or two for any last minute add-ons. Set for noon and am excited to meet everyone......



    Fredtan, there is also a store called Clock tower less than a mile from the restaurant. Haven't been in there in a while but you may want to check it out.



    My hope is that this get together will be the first of many. I am happy to coordinate and am open for suggestions for where to have the next one.....



    Happy Friday ladies.....

    I think I am going to have to miss it.

    am trying to talk myself either way. but I think It may be dangerous for me to drive. I have had this ongoing headache pain. went to ENT today. he saw "rather large bone spur" when he scoped my sinus. but anyway it hurts mainly when I bend over or when I turn my head-as in when I glance over my shoulder to check for oncoming traffic. its weird. CT of head was negative. wants me to see neuro doc now, who will order more scans, who will put me on migraine meds to see if they work. which they won't since this is pretty much constant fo rlast few months.

    plus I am broke, and I have to do ACLS this weekened. its online now and sucks more than ever. online classes and this procrastinator don't go to gether.

    sorry

    take a vote on best MO and let me know who wins.

    Just wanted to thank everyone for coming yesterday as I know often our weekends are busy enough...Thank you for taking time to come....Really enjoyed meeting everyone and will gladly coordinate the next one (suggestions & dates??)..



    For those unable to make it this time, hopefully you can join us for the next one!



    And one last thought for the group, anyone interested in a visit or lunch at the Bull Run winery? I am not a huge wine drinker but wouldn't mind checking it out....

    0die,



    how about 1st Saturday of each month so that people could plan? Does that seem too frequent?



    Does the Bull Run Winery serve lunch?



    Thanks for everything!

    Odie, Thanks for putting together yesterdays gathering. It was fun and great to meet everyone!

    Once a month date is a good idea. Bull Run has food for purchase, cheese and stuff and street tacos from Coyote Grill. Which is another good place to meet in Centreville.

    I met my friend today at the Avon walk (she walked in my honor this yr) and walked the last 2 miles with her team. Amazing what these women did and amazing what Avon does for BC.

    Have a good week Ladies!

    I echo the thanks that others have mentioned-- thanks odie for arranging that lunch! I'm not much of a drinker either, but I'd be up for lunch at the Bull Run winery to enjoy the company of my fellow NoVa BCO ladies.



    It was a great day for that walk today dessert1st, glad it was a good walk. :)

    You guys are giving me too much credit as it was no big deal and I was happy to do it. Really enjoyed meeting everyone.



    Love the idea of doing the first Saturday each month. For June, do we want to do Coyote Grill (patio seating if good weather) or the winery? I am open to any other suggestions as well...



    Special thank you to Pat. Love the hostess gift and appreciate that you took time to make it for me. It has been hung with pride..

    Odie, Coyote Grill gets my vote for June but I"m open to the winery if that's the popular vote!



    Thanks again for organizing!

    I'm up for either Coyote Grill or the winery. If its Coyote Grill would it be the Fairfax or Centreville location?

    Coyotes new Centreville location is bigger and probably more central. Unfortunately, I think the first Sat is June 8 and I will be out of town :(

    Technically the first Saturday of June is June 1st but if June 8 works better for most, I am up for either. So who is in and which date? Majority wins..

    Hi Odie,



    Either will work for me! I really like your non-dramatic approach--majority rules!



    Hugs and thanks,

    So far June 1st seems to be the favorite..



    Thank you for the kind words PeggySull.



    Tracyinva, I would be happy to be your buddy as you navigate treatment. As Cuetang said, please join us for lunch on June 1st if you can.



    Mary, I am sorry you can't join us this time but hope to meet you once things aren't so busy...

    Nice group of women. Had a fun/supportive time on the first lunch last month! Odie is so good to arrange all this.



    See you on the first!
