We are safely home (maybe we can put those comments here, Knitpick!), but hit terrible traffic & it took us about 9 hours--blah!

Please, all Mudcat members, if you were at the DC Get- Away, please post your Mudcat name to this thread, so that I can put them all on the soon-to-be-up events page w/ the group photo from the Get-Away. I don't want to miss anyone by mistake.

Everything the others said about the time together goes for me, too; I'm still glowing. It was incredibly wonderful to look in the eyes of these folks, to hug them & chat w/ them, & to hear their diverse talents. Ferrara, thank you so much for giving us that time together! I truly feel proud to be a member of this group. I knew already that you are good folks; it was such a thrill to realize how talented you are, too! We made a big contribution to the Get-Away--in music, fellowship, & kitchen work. :) I was tickled to see how many of our folks performed in the 2 evening concerts. Yes, I did sing a time or two & was made to feel very welcome. I had a chance to spend time w/ several of the Mudcatters & really get a start on knowing them & it will enrich for me every posting I read from them from now on. When we parted, there was little sadness, because I knew I would meet them again, online & very likely in person as well. Wonderful, wonderful! (Moonchild, I'll never tell!) :)

Please do add your name here, if you attended!

my love to all,

bbc

P.S.--Give me a day or two on the photos. David has a musical to rehearse, college early acceptance applications to get out on deadline, computer work to do (for pay!), & yes, I have to go back to work!
