I keep worrying that my count will be off by too much even though I have checked and checked it! I know, I'm an anious thang. But the resturant manager is a sweetie and I recall my waitress days way back when. She isn't all that concerned if 28 show up instead of 25. So I guess I should chill out. It really feels good to see how this has rolled into a pretty good little gathering of so many people that keep in touch as well as new folks that contribute so much. Since I first joined this community- through thick and thin, I have always recognized deep connections across it. I am proud to be a B-Fer and ....... Diva, you are deeply loved and a big part of the glue that keeps this community together! You have been this for many years and are appreciated to the max! |
AtLast, you are doing a GREAT job of coordinating this event. Maybe it's time to relax now and let it all fall into place. Thank you for all of your effort on this!! |
Charged up the camera batteries and have an extra disk - have to take pics of our gathering. See y'all tomorrow!
|
I cannot WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!! :heartbeat:
|
It was great seeing you all at the luncheon! It felt good to get out of my comfort zone a little and socialize. I miss that!
|
Thanks again, AtLastHome, for organizing all this! I had a great time and it was nice to finally put some faces to all the names I've known over the years! And thanks to Bubblin and Chino for the lift back to my hotel! :)

LOL, just finished writing this note: The Micro-ReUnion Have Lunch with Diva time today was fantastic! It was great to see people and meet a few new folks. There was lots of hugging, laughing, gabbing, and eating in all of our glorious diversity!! The Diva was as beautiful and warm as ever- but of course, she brings us together!!! The restaurant manager and the serving team told me we were a great group, really nice people and asked me to thank everyone for eating at Fat Apples, El Cerrito. I thought they were gracious and served us well. I hope everyone had a good meal. LOL, I did see a few “bakery” bags leaving with folks, so it looked like it all went well in that department. I was glad for the turn-out in terms of supporting a local business too, EC has been hit by the recession, too. Just due to physical issues over the last year and ˝/, I have not been as social/active- so I haven’t even seen the local community members much lately. So, this was special to me as well as being able to get together with Diva. I get kind of frustrated with my old body not working like it used to. And I need to stay in better contact. Thank you all for coming and you all stay safe and happy!! And Diva, I hope you have a wonderful time here in Northern California with your family and friends. Be very safe driving back home! This reminded me of my first B-F “event” back in ‘08 in Oakland when I met members in person. Diva was fluttering about with that beautiful smile and heart sharing time with us all (even with her “arrest“). I have always felt such kindness from her and the people that I met then. It was really neat to see people get together that have been long time community members too- we get busy and live all over the place, yet so many of us take the time to meet and catch up when we can throw something like this together. See, Diva, we way love you!!! You bring us together time and time, again!!! It appears that there is a LGBT SF Giants Day in August- I am going to look it up- Say, Hey, maybe some of you are baseball fanatics too and would like to go to that game. I’ll get the scoop- thanks, Grayson for alerting me to this! And butch Voices is coming to Oakland, again- there is a thread about this. Maybe we will see each other, again!! My damn camera batteries pooped out on me even though I charged them (must be just dead), I only have a couple of pics that TD took for me (thanks, TD). But other people took some- hope you all post them! |
May I just say that You blew my mind, all Y'all!!!!!! I thought there was going to be around 14 or 15 there....and when I got there, Susan told me about 25 or 30 and I was so blown away!
But the best part ~ and please forgive my tardiness! ~ was walking in and seeing Your beautiful faces, smiling up at me and welcoming me in! WOW. Just wow. You touched my heart and I am so grateful You took time out to visit......I am sorry I didn't get to speak to each one of You for an HOUR each! That would be heaven to me! But I knew You were there and knew that You cared. My heart overflows with gratitude....I just want You to know how much You mean to me! :heartbeat: I want to say a public "Thank You" to Susan for turning this one-on-one lunch into an extravaganza!!!!!!! What a wonderful job You did in organizing this gathering! Now.......You KNOW, right, that I'll be having my 5th Annual Pre~Thanksgiving Gathering at Chez Diva in Austin, Texas on the weeked of November 11-13........this is Your invitation to attend! It's always a lovely weekend of laughter, good food and always for a good cause.....we will be collecting toys for underprivileged children in connection with the APD this year! Drop me a line by PM if You would like to attend! Thank You again for this marvelous day, which, I dare say, will be the best day of my "Tour"! Many hugs and squishes!!!!!! :heartbeat: |
