Hello Cuties! I arrived at my destination 2 hours ago. My niece Eraine, Toogie, Trudy and Mary with Neptune. It was dark when we arrived so I can't wait to wake up and see the ocean right outside. All our rooms have balconies facing the ocean. I could see and hear the waves rolling in tonight along the sand. <br /><br />
I know you have all seen the awesome pictures jrob's DH took,of all of us Cuties that met in Birmingham. I almost cried when I had to rush off. There was not nearly enough time! Each Cutie including Mike was so loving and kind, just what we are suppose to be, but I could FEEL it. I tried not to hurt Mrs Lillian when I gave her the hugs from all of you. <br /><br />
Jerrilyn and Mike were waiting exactly where I told them we would arrive. We knew each other instantly and had arms outstretched! I must confess, I think quite a few of the passengers were enjoying our meeting as well- lol-<br /><br />
Then came graceandham/Betsy! Walked right up to us like she'd known us all her life. Mike instantly went into motion capturing the moments!<br /><br />
While waiting to find Lillian I introduced my niece and tour host Eraine, my friend Trudy and Mary. They said they HAD to meet my 'sewing friends' and would leave us only after they did-lol<br /><br />
Eraine and Mary had gone into the gift shop and passed right by Lillian not knowing it was her. Then when Mike, whom they had just met said 'Mrs Lillian!' they turned to see who she was,as they knew only the name Lillian. It was the same lady they had passed by earlier ! <br /><br />
Tomorrow for lunch and the free afternoon I will meet with my last Cutie on this trip, kathymourie! I am so excited to meet another Cutie!<br /><br />
Of course, you read about all the nice gifts we exchanged. Every gift was chosen, made and given straight from the heart. I will treasure my gifts and my memory of this time together always.<br /><br />
Look for updates from me on this post as I will add the ones of my meeting with Cutie Kathy.<br /><br />
Thank you Betsy, Mrs Lillian, Jerrilyn and Mike for each of you driving so far to make this happen. I appreciate and love all of you. You can't beat being a Cutie or even an honorary Cutie like Mike!-lol-Cuties are the best!<br /><br />
Have a good day/ night wherever you may be. Love-Toogie
Enjoy the rest of your trip and thank you for sharing the picture of you all together with a very big Neptune. Hugs ))))
I told her how excited Nota got last night with the Neptune photo. We walked along the oceanside and searched for Nora a seashell. I told Kathy that is all she asked me to bring her. We found a small glassful but they weren't real nice as they were broken. I will search again later. We are going to dinner with entertainment in an hour and a half so had to come in. Kathy had to leave so she could get home before dark. I really enjoyed meeting her and who knows ... We are going to Williamsburg Thursday and she is closer there!<br /><br />
Someone took our photo on the beach but I tried a selfie at Kathys car of us- selfies never help my looks- lol- but Kathy looks great!<br /><br />
I wanted to show you all the special gifts from the Cuties I met. Mrs Lillian I am sorry my bedpost doll looks so wrinkled but she has gotten squished in the packing. Be sure, I will iron her out at home. Besides the lunch and Noras mermaid glass Kathy made with the Cameo machine she gave me an ITH Ouch Pouch. She also gave me an idea for the next bus trip gifts.<br /><br />
I want to tell you more but I have to get ready so, to be continued.....,
Kathy
