Momsinthegarden and Regguheert (married couple) were the ones with the camera. I honestly don't think they're even home yet! Well maybe by now. :). Unless they hit traffic or decided to go out to eat. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Thank you ladies and gentleman for attending the get together today! It was nice to visit with everyone. Creekland, I forgot the zucchini even after your reminder. I remembered after I was on my way home. I even had a recipe planned for it! I loved seeing and catching up with all of you - and meeting you Nick's Mom! The squash all found good homes, so it worked out. Sorry you forgot to take some though. If you lived closer... we'll have more (but I doubt it's worth the drive - now if we had a homeless kitten...). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hey... should we start the "Dirt on Fellow Boardies" thread yet or are we agreeing that "What's Heard in Littlestown Stays in Littlestown?" :lol: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garga Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 Hey... should we start the "Dirt on Fellow Boardies" thread yet or are we agreeing that "What's Heard in Littlestown Stays in Littlestown?" :lol: I was wondering if we should confess that we almost left Nicholas_mom all alone in the gym. We all headed to the kids' play area down a hallway off the gym. After sitting there for a few minutes, we realized she wasn't with us. We worried that we'd accidentally left her behind and she was sitting all alone in an echoing gym wondering where we all went, "Hello? Where is everybody?" We could see her going home and starting a thread, "So, I went to an event and everyone suddenly got up and left me all alone...should I be offended?" We hadn't left her. She'd stayed behind to clean off the pizza cutter at the sink. All was good! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again to Garga and creekland for organizing. I am working on getting the photo to Garga. This is a requirement so that she can run it through her standard "beautification" process before posting. I think she will remove the big, ugly man-troll from the center of the picture!

I think it was after the first meetup, which I missed. You expressed great relief that no ugly man-trolls had shown up. :001_smile: BTW, I sent you a PM a bit ago but it still says "Not Read Yet." Are you not taking messages from man-trolls? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then just got off the phone with middle son. Guess whose fridge is going to get the rest of today and tomorrow's pickings. :lol: (He likes them, so doesn't mind. I don't know if he's aware of how many he's going to get though!) I also picked more beets & beet greens to have for a meal today - not sure which one yet. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like you have a nice garden growing! Beets! I love beets. I'm glad you will live close by so you can supplement my garden ...... when we finally grow one again. We want to grow fruit trees.

RegGuheert Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 First RegGuheert, what is that delicious looking pizza that keeps popping up in my face while reading these threads?It's a picture I posted in a thread a long time ago. I bake pizzas at home many Sunday nights, but that one was special: it was baked on our charcoal grill! Yeah, it's a silly avatar, but at least it's not copyrighted. Thank you all for a warm welcome and it was such fun! Thanks for taking the time to put this together ladies. I cannot wait for the next one.We were very glad to meet you, as well! I believe you were the only new face there this year. At this rate, I figure we will fill Garga's church up in about 500 years!I would like the recipe for the corn dip, too!Here you go: Pioneer Woman Hot Corn Dip. On top of being from The Pioneer Woman, we thought it would be more authentically WTM by putting it in a lead-laced Crock Pot. (I wanted to put it in a shopping cart and push it into the church while the kids sat in the car, but, alas, we had no kids or shopping cart available! ) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

creekland Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I was walking around the place but couldn't find you. Where were you all? Were you seriously there? If so, I wish you had found us as I'd have loved to have met you! If in the first couple of hours we were right inside the doors on the right that had a ramp with them. Garga had large W T M letters on the door. If in the latter couple of hours, we shifted to the kid's play area. You still entered the same doors from outside, but then had to know to go through another set of double doors at the other end. That would have been near impossible to know without having been there before, unless one heard the noise of the kids and checked it out. Another time we'll have to know to leave a sign or put it in the thread or something. I feel really bad if you were there and we missed you! It'd be a major time when I wish we could turn back time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that will never happen again! We'll put up a sign at the door letting people know where to find us. I know where the chuch keeps a sign on a post that would work perfectly for that.

Garga Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) I finally remember what in the world I was talking about trolls for! It was before we ever first met and the discussion was about how do we all know we are who we say we are? And something about internet trolls came up--the people who try to stir the pot and make up stories. And there were jokes about how maybe none of us are actually homeschool moms (or dads!), but we're all a bunch of old guys sitting in our parents' basements causing trouble online: ugly old man-trolls.

And it bring up a good point that when we meet again, we'll probably all disappear from the gym at some point and should pop out a sign in case someone shows up late looking for us. Oh, for everyone else--and I forgot to take off the WTM letters from the church door and then it locked behind me. The youth group meets in the gym tonight. I'll pop by and see if the letters are still up and if the youth is trying to figure out what it all means. :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
