TV ClubHouse: archives: Thank You - Southern CA weekend

I want to take this opportunity to express my thanks and appreciation to all who attended the TVCH events this weekend in Southern California.

All the words and pictures that will be posted here can only begin to express what we all shared by being together. All the TVCHers, friends, family, and loved ones, were such wonderful people.

We shared the same things when we were together that we share here; the joy, the laughter, the craziness, the serious conversations, the intensely personal, and the lighthearted moments.

Thank you to the Friday night dinner group for the special bottle and its contents, and the handy item that I believe someone else in this house will make use of. And Zmom, I've got my eye on that special carrier you brought it in.

Thank you to the Saturday group, for the beautiful card. Thank you for the smooching frogs, for which Eggie keeps professing her innocence, but I'm not convinced.

I learned so much about all these wonderful people, so much more than I ever expected . I was surprised in some cases at how my preconceived notions of people were inaccurate. But I was even more surprised to find that in every case, the person in real life was even greater than I had ever imagined.

Some will tell you that I put on a great party. The truth is, all that had to be done was to put everyone together in one place at the same time. I just sat back and enjoyed.

For all that couldn't attend, we missed you, and I hope to meet many more people as time goes on. Thanks again, everyone.

Weinermr said it all, but is way too modest; he really did provide the energy that made this thing hum.

(oh good, glad the "handy item" might be of use for that "other" family member)

Hope to hear about all the Sunday happenings after we hit the freeway. Getting to meet Zachy and Z-mom's mom was the icing on my weekend cake.

I'm so grateful that TNT decided to just book that flight and come out.. that Wargod, Warkids and Darren decided to stay for dinner and later.. that Kittee and hubby DID decide to come, that Who and Mom overcame trepidations and took the plunge, that Z-mom found a roomie to share the cost..

Wouldn't have been the same if any one of you had made a different decision.

And learning the new "Jon" sign from Lanzee just showed that communication is universal :)

I forgot, we also need to thank Dopey for providing some quality entertainment, even while staying at home :)

ITA with Seamonkey! Weiner is being very modest. Thank you so much for all you did this weekend and for giving us all a great opportunity to get together!

Thank you to all those who flew out or drove long distances to join in the festivities and to those who brought family and friends for us to meet and share with.

Thank you to Seamonkey for thinking of the kids, they were so tickled. And Pamy, thank you, for the brownies and ice cream that I'm positive were bigger than the kids, LOL! And Zmom who kept giving the little beggers money! And Lanzee for the sign language sheets..Caleb was up early this morning practicing the alphabet.

Thank you Pamy for bringing your son who became Caleb's instant friend, and for everyone who made Dakota so comfortable and happy, who got her to pose and who listened to her even when she walked up in the middle of a conversation. She really is shy, but you guys made it impossible for her to feel shy or lonely for too long.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came and added to the fun and enjoyment of the weekend. It was nice to finally put faces to names from old and new friends, and to get the chance to collect some wonderful hugs!

Thanks to all of you who provided me with a smile, 2422.6 miles away!

(Weiner - I just realized that since I was awake for 39 hours, I could have driven out there!)

Weiner, everything said about you on this gathering is true, and then some.

You may be the utmost example in being humble, but very few people could have pulled off this weekend like you did. This gathering is definetly one to be used as an example!

Thank you so much for all your hard work. All your help. And thank you so much just for being you.

ITA with Who!! Weiner is the most loving caring man I have ever met. This weekend was the best because he took care of every detail and unselfishly made sure everyone was taken care of
((((WEINERMR)))

I am a better person for having met you!
