Hello Everybody,
First of all I want to apologize for my camera messing up about half the pictures, it was on the wrong setting, but thanks to Herman things got better on the second half.
I am too tired to post all of them so I will do half tonight and the rest tomorrow.
Please feel free to post yours in between if you are ready.
Here are Ken and Maggie having fun.
Here they are playing with Sheila.
This is David the Dude with his daughter.
Our lovely hostess Becky, sorry for the picture not being good Becky, but I didn't have another close up of you.
One of our new friends, Joyce.

#7181497 is a new member named Joyce. I don't know what her username is, though.
Thank you Dave, I added her name.
Joyce is Lemkegarden on DG.
And the couple here http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/p.php?pid=7181529 is Vicky and Fred. They are good friends of Charlene, and hopefully will sign up on DG soon.
Here is Joyce (lemkegarden) with her MIL Charlotte, that was thrilled to win the yellow mums in the door prize drawing. Our Dave is on the left.
This is Camera_man47, my DH that chose to set in the sun since it was a bit nippy.
A new friend to us ...Terrel
Frank was dressed too nice for a RU, and Josephine (Frostweed) doing what she enjoys.
Becky prepared to call us for lunch.
Keith, a Master Gardener friend of Dde's talked plants with Josephine. I think that looks like a flower pot on his thumb, he really has the gardener's gift. LOL!
Kenboy trying to remember that plant name... with Maggiedew, Karen (darkmoondreamer) and Lee (Willistx) looking on.
Mindysgarden and her four-legged friend; both are sweethearts.
Thank you Sheila, you always remember names better than me, I corrected it.
Checking out the door prizes. Lee on left, Charlene, Karen, and Charlene's DH John.
I think I was just there longer this time Josephine! LOL!
Plus you have all those plant names in your brain!! This is a great picture of you I think.
This is a great thread. It helps me connect faces to the user ids. What a great group of friendly people! Will the pictures stay on this forum? I want to refer back to it for our next swap in the spring.
Joyce
Joyce....Yes they are here forever!
David the Dude (Dde) saved the day by finding Lyle's phone.
Sherrie (Frecklesr) is another new friend we made today. Here on the left with Charlotte and Joyce.
This was the other four-legged friend who joined us for the day. He was all wiggles and kisses.
The view was fantastic as always.
As was the conversations between friends....
Here is Smock, and Smockette with Ken sitting for a chat.
The plants around the visitor's center were in full bloom, many David said were from plants left in previous year's RUs. The Brugs were especially loaded with blooms.
Since I am a butterfly person, I couldn't help but notice they were around the plantings. Here is a Gulf Fritillary on the Verbena.
