Who's Going to Tampa 04-16-2011 (updates pg. 1)

[tampasecretguest1]

Is it wrong that I have a couple more hours to work and my desk is clean and I'm ready to go?

(singing to myself) leaving on a jet plane, don't know if I'll get back home again...

Are you between 40 & 70 years old? Yes

Where do you live? That might give it away

Have I ever met you? Yes

Have I ever spoken with you? Yes

What color hair do you have? Depends on the day

How tall are you? Taller than you Really?

Are you male or female?

Fe

Hmmmmmm, you're not being specific enough! Let's try these. Of course I'm not being specific


Where did we meet? At a concert

How long ago did we meet? Not recent

Were there tears shed? I do not think so

Was it a rainy day where/when we met? It might have rained that day, not sure

And because Tommy threw me for a loop, do you live in Boston or MA? Nope

[MinnieVanMom]

People do buy and sell tickets in the parking lot because they have seen someone with a sign advertising them. Good luck!

Thanks so much, I am actually sick over it. We have now sold two tickets and will just make a sign in the parking lot for our now single ticket.

My fruitcake hat arrived today and we fly out very late Friday. I am so excited to meet everyone but feel bad about not being able to bring much since we are flying in.

Safe travels. See you in Tampa.

[mommar]

Definitely confused as to who the mystery guest/s is/are

Safe travels to everyone that's "on the go"

And to those who had hoped of being in Tampa, and aren't able to make it,
you will be missed.

Talk about irony...mo coming on saying "Those who thought they were going to be in Tampa..."

(Ok y'all...this may be all screwed up 'cause I've been crying off and on for 2 reasons)

I found out about 3 weeks ago my only Aunt I have left, Dad's sister, was in end stage Renal Failure...She didn't even tell her kids...When they found out, they called me and told me to be "on call" She does not want to do dialysis, and refused all offers of kidney matches...Says she's almost 80, and has lived a wonderful full life, and raised 8 wonderful children that she's proud of .....Lots of other stuff in between and Susan can fill you in on that....Tonight? I'm packing a new bag, with different clothes, and having a Pity Party, Table for One.....

I got "The" call today....It's time to go up there...She's still with us, but not for long...and I have to go. The cousins were all leaving by this morning, and going to their respective homes...but that didn't happen.......

Sooo I'm off to colder, wetter climes...and family.

It's the right thing to do, and they have let me know how important this us to her, and to them.....And the fact that it's important to her is good enough for me......

I'll write more later...just know, all that I haven't met? I can't tell you how much I was looking forward to it......No words. You know.....
Those I know, and haven't seen in years? Ditto...you know.

Love y'all, and I so wish I could be in 2 places at once...I'm off to call and see about flights now....They actually offered to fly Anne Bonny too...They're huge dog people and know how I feel about her, and they have their animals with them too....I can't believe they're flying the dog! We'll see about that one.....

I love y'all...

[chippewa]

and Phin Power to your Aunt, too.
