HOT OFF THE PRESS! Pictures from 10.06.07 RoundUp

Just got home so I get to be the first one to post pictures. Here's Michaela (Seandor):

Harper (Sofonisba (sp.?))

err... you can't post a picture without some text. (Why did it take me three tries to figure that out?) (Don't answer that!)

Left to right, we have Candyce, her DD Anna (?), CapeCodGardener whose name (????) and her screen name are both messed up. By me.

ummm our Dave (Dave47)

next is Kassia, who kept us all waiting, but it was worth the wait, as she was the inspiration with her enthusiasm!

and then comes a group shot of the far end of the table, starring Dave's elbow and also featuring Don Shirer (looking at Michaela's plans), Thom and his friend Paul, Kassia, Candyce, Anna (?), the other lady whom I feel horrible about forgetting, and then Michaela again I think. Amy and Memory were between me and Michaela.

That's all I took, I was too overwhelmed to take any more, actually too busy talking! I missed the melee in the parking lot and the fracas at Logee's.

xxxxx, Carrie

Bump..... cause I think I'm all 30 of the views!

A roundup: time for meeting friends,
Exchanging gossip, gardening trends.
Putting faces to those names,
Playing "Did you ever..." games.
Finding out each other's needs,
Trading surplus plants and seeds.
Came home pooped, but full of cheer,
Let's do it all again, next year!

Thom and Paul, beside winning the prize for coming the farthest,
also took the crown for the most plant material disseminated!

Oh yeah, Memory and Amy were too close to me for pictures and I'm not even in this picture!!!

And - we have to wait 'til next year?

Great poem, Don, looks like you all had fun at Logee's!

OK Carrie, to make sure you're represented, here's a picture of Dave ignoring you.

LOL, thanks Don.

Carrie, not enough pics, but really good ones. nobody ever takes closeups so you can really see what people look like. these are really nice. I wanted to go to Logee's so bad, but meeting you guys would have been WAY better. Even OUR Dave was there this time. I wanna meet OUR Dave :)

OK, I want a list of what everybody bought at Logee's. Their catalog is my absolutely MOST favoritest (don't pick on the grammar, I'm excited!). I hope somebody took some pics inside.

more, more, more ... please???

And at Logee's, Seandor couldn't be-leaf the size of this Colcasia gigantea (one summer's growth, they said).

Don, I forgot to say I loved your poem...read it to DH

I think that's a snip of Amy's hair in the bottom left of your portrait of me and PCA Kirstie.

Thanks for the photos Carrie and Don! Guess a good time was had by all. Nice poem Don. We have a resident Forum poet!

Dave, I would never guess you were Italian!! Ha ha. I'm a mix so I don't really look the part.

GREAT photo's! Dave it is nice to put a name to the face :)

Looks like a good time was had by all!

Don that was a great little poem.

So, Victor, you're saying you're a mutt? We actually had a semi-existentialist discussion about the validity of your existence.

Heinz 57 or is that just dogs?

I've already said that I don't - at least not as the persona I've presented. I am an inmate at Sing Sing who gets to garden in the prison yard. With technology I can complete the illusion with photos of a house and garden, etc. No big.

Anything is possible. Your an alien using the screen, in a space craft and in the commanders chair. You can grow anything and all your women are green.

Carrie and Don - Thanks for posting those neat pics so soon. Not only is the NE Forum the chattiest, but also the nicest looking group of people!! Everyone looks so normal, so I figured Victor didn't make it!! LOL Really - such nice pictures, and it looks like everyone was having a lot of fun. Hey....it's just started raining here!! I don't think that was in the forecast! I mean....really raining! Glorious! Are you getting some rain, Candyce and Schick????

I also want to hear who bought what at Logee's......true confessions, please!!

Maybe the next RU can be held at Sing Sing's visitor's room - or a tour of the gardens there.

It is so nice to be able to put a face with the names..........

Thanks, everyone, for the photos! It's good to be able to put faces to names. I'll have to post my pic sometime, wearing the t-shirt that didn't make it to CT!

Hey, Victor, if you're in Sing Sing, then you really don't have a 5-year-old clearing paths for you, huh?

Oh, and Don - your poem was great! We'll name you poet laureate of the NE forum!

Yeah, Sue....he really does have a 5-year-old who is also in the Klink - nabbed for skipping kindergarten to visit Victor. He's a legend there!

Yes it is nice to put faces with names. I am still jealous jealous jealous. Yes we are getting rain right now and tiny thunder boomers (I unplugged the comp all ready once) and wicked foggy out. Candyce had a long drive home. Probably stopped in the Holyoke Mall as there is not malls like that up here. I would stop in that mall and I am 1 hour 45 mins from there!!!!!!!!

Visitation days.

Schick - that's the only mall anywhere near us too! I'm not much of a shopper, but once in a long while, even I need some of the bigger stores. Bet Candyce and Anna stopped there!!!

That's true, Victor, you have mentioned your incarceration before, how thoughtless of me to forget and how kind of you to remind me.

Inmates don't like to be called kind, Carrie....it's dangerous in the pen.

Hi all!!
Anna and I actually got home well over an hour ago, but had to wade through the miriad of youngsters wanting to 'talk' and be with mommy and grandma. We had SUCH A GREAT TIME at both 85maqikn and at Logees. Yes, I got photos of some of the stuff inside.

But, I haven't downloaded them off my camera yet.

Don! GREAT POEM!!!

Louise! It just now began to rain - yippee!!!!

Still raining here, Candyce.......I'm anxious to see your pics! So glad you and Anna had a great time!

OK.
These photos will come in rather slowly, as I am on dial-up, so bear with me ...
Here's the 'stash' that Thom qand Paul brought with them ....

Oh, I loved looking at the photos. Thanks so much to those of you who took them. It is great to be able to put faces and names together!! Glad you had a good time! Eleanor

Wow! I didn't know that would post twice!
...
Here we are hovering like flies around Thom and Paul's 'stash'. The parking lot looked like a farmer's market with everything that we had all brought to share!!

Here's a not so great shot of AYankeeCat. It's too blurry ... sorry.

The girls ...

Love the "T" shirts
