Wow! What a great weekend for our first ever outing in our Little Guy. Thanks for all the help and advice, everyone! Thanks, too, for making a couple of newbies feel so welcome. :D

Pics will follow tomorrow. Sorry, too tired to do more tonight.

All the best...

It was so great to meet everyone! We had such a fantastic time---who's up for Starved Rock next weekend??? 8)

Carol- there's only one picture of me that you took that doesn't look too much like a whale, just post that one. :R :lol:

Will give more specific and profuse thank-you's tomorrow to y'all, but now I must GO TO BED...we're exhausted!

We agree! It was great meeting everyone and seeing all the Teardrops! :D

Gives us lots of ideas about building our own. :thinking:

Really enjoyed the Potluck Dinner and Betsey's homemade ice cream! It was delicious and went well with the cobblers. :applause:

Thanks to all - Doug & Nan

Special thanks to PigCooker for that awesome ham, and to Betsey and Craig for the ice cream....sooooooo good.

We had a wonderful time meeting everyone, and can't wait for the next one!

So....who's up for Starved Rock this weekend?

The pics are coming Neal. I'll post ours up later this evening.

Not a whole lot to post on our end. I took a couple and Dayna took the rest, problem there being the Canon we have uses eye controlled focus and it's calibrated to my eye... Dayna looks everywhere in the frame while taking a shot so focus follows her eye looking at everything else leaving us out of focus pictures. :cry: Gotta love/hate technology!

I do...It was sitting on the table as everyone was breaking camp. Someone told me it was hers but she was already gone. I always seem to be the one who ends up with the "Lost & Found" from gatherings.... :lol:
