BS: annap is moving -just for those who care

Hello everyone. Yes, I'm leaving our gathering ground, but worry not. The new place is bigger, better and just as wonderful. We're still right on the water, but now we have a 2-person jacuzzi, fireplace, music room overlooking the river, a gazebo (not right on the water, but right next to it) and a gym. My new, and much nicer, landlord has given me permission to put up a swimming pool for next summer. We can even have a boat!! Those who have graciously accepted wedding invites will be staying at our new place. We hope to have a gathering soon, but we are very busy with wedding, store opening, vending business, etc. Oh, and now I can have the small Maltese puppy I've been pining for. So you see, it's better. No ocean though, as we're a little more inland, but it's only a stones throw away.

Wish Honey and me luck and I hope to see many of you soon. Oh, and you don't have to wait for a gathering to visit you know. Just write and I'll let you know where. I'll be sending new directions to those of you who will need it soon.

Love, annap

Well that sounds wonderful, annap! So much going on! I hope you can get in that jacuzzi and take a few moments in between it all. Congratulations and good luck to you and Honey! Oh, what did you name the little darling? Maltese are so cute!

We haven't gotten him yet, but he will be called Max. I love the little darlings and I am really looking forward to being with him. Thanks Kat.

Count me as one who cares. You're 1st gathering was the catalyst that transformed this place from virutal to reality. We all owe you a lot. Good luck in the new place. Hope to meet you both some day.

My puppies name, though the same as our founder, is not related. I've wanted a Malty for a couple of years, and I've always wanted to call him Max. Gee, maybe I shouldn't have said that ;-)

Love, annap

Congrats on your new place!!! I wish I had your money!!! Come to think of it, I wish I had everybody's money. Maybe I'll change my name to Bill Gates......

Anyway, I'm excited for you both. AND how appropriate to name your puppy Max since they both pee on the rug.

Good luck! Let's see now, moving, wedding, store opening, new pet..that ought to keep your stress quota up for a while. Relax when you can - make time for it. I hope all goes smoothly and the dust settles soon.

AnnaP I loved your old house but the new one seems much better, and to think that just a few weeks ago you said you would never leave. Sorry we can't come to the wedding what with just getting home after 6 weeks and the new grandchild due but you know that we wish you and Glen all the very best and next time you have a gathering just let us know. Love Bill and Lorna

Which Max, Mary?? Bill, you'll love this house more! I'm devastated you won't be at my wedding, but I'll be ok ;-(

dw, you're welcome anytime. And Jed, why the heck do you think my gatherings are sooo popular?? ;-) ** BG **

If Max whizzes in my jacuzzi he'll be in a lotta trouble!!

We're not going on our honeymoon to Hawaii til later so we'll have a barbeque on Sunday after the wedding for those that can hang and those that want to show up. Ought to be an interesting mixture of people.

love, annap

........and let's not leave out the ever popular "Maltese cross jokes."

Sorry about making the jokes about "Max" before, but if he does forget where he's at and whizzes on the carpet, you might consider naming him "Bert" instead.

Wait for the next gathering until we get back from England, please, make it Sept or so.
So you are moving out of that small, but wonderful, place. It was your first gathering that started Dick thinking about moving to a house with a dock....Loads of luck! Enjoy it all. Sorry we will miss the wedding.

Well, I care too, and I say congratulations and L'Chaim and yahoo to both of you, AnnaP.

Don't worry about the two-legged Max in the jacuzzi unless he kinda twists around to face the jets.

Someday I'll come dragging my weary tail East and I aim to put you on the itinerary if ever I possibly can, assuming it can be negotiated! Much love,

Amos

CONGRATULTIONS on the wedding and the moving-- as others have said, that should keep the stress level up for a while (having just survived my youngest daughter's wedding) the new house sounds wonderful and i hope to see it soon!

The accounts of the gatherings at Annapolia Mk1 made it sound like Walden. I am sure Annapolia Mk 2 will be equally utopian, hope all goes well, look forward to reading about it here.

Hello my friends! Spent the weekend at my new place. It is wonderful! Honey and are are beside ourselves wondering what wonderful things we might have done to deserve this marvelous abode.

Mick, now there is much more room for your big, beautiful self. And a very large kitchen for your wonderful dishes.

Dick and Susan, you only live an hour or so away. You are welcome at anytime. Just call first please. If Dick loved my old dock, wait till he sees this. We have the river on two sides of our property. It's more shallow than Sea Bright and much wider. Almost no traffic. Except a waverunner now and then for David to shoot at ;-) and sailboats and lots of kayaks. This place is perfect for kayaking.

Jeri, if we lose that couch we'll get a new big one. We haven't decided if we'll fix it or buy a new one. Actually we have enough room to do both.

Glenns music room is about 25 X 25 (this is not a misprint) and he's in glory. You guys will really be able to jam in there in the winter. AND it's not in the cold basement. I know you'll be on the patio in the summer.

Joe, we're very close to the old place. Only 10 minutes away. Let us know when and we'll set up a gathering. Please put us on your itinerary!! You'll be able to go down and see Old Barney on Long Beach Island. We'll make a day trip.

Amos, as one of my favorite Mudcatters ( that I haven't met yet! ) you're welcome anytime too.

Heck, any Mudcatter is welcome! Just send me a personal message or e-mail me at the address in the resources and comeon down!

The sense of peace has not been this strong in a very long time. I could sit on that patio for hours. It's better than therapy! Actually it IS therapy.

Until Honey gets on the drums.....

I love him more every day.

Thank you all for your good wishes. We are going to have fun here. ;-)

Love, annap

Dear Annap:
Congratulations! The best things happen to the best people. You and Glenn deserve the best.
I agree with dwditty in that your generousity and hospitality transformed the 'cat from viruality to reality.
Although far away, I look forward to when I can again join you all in a weekend of music.

Wow folk1234 and doowhaditty! That's quite a thought, but let me be humble here and say "We woulda met sooner or later". You know that's true. I was just lucky enough to have been the first. And what friends I have made! and hope to keep making!

Party on!

Love, annap
