Title: ANA NE Discussion Forum October Brunch
Post by: jcinma on August 23, 2012, 01:57:30 pm
Hi All!
My drinking buddy Phyl  ;) has asked me to get plans rolling for the October apple dumplin' get together at Maxwell's in Worcester, MA. For those that are not familiar, twice a year for the last five years or so we have had an informal gathering to eat (delicious brunch) with fellow ANAers (awesome folks). It started with 6 of us and at the last brunch there were 28! Spouses/partners/friends are so welcome too.

For more info about the brunch www.maxwellmaxine.com (http://www.maxwellmaxine.com)

Does October 14th work? Please let me know asap so I can book the room.
If not, what date does?

Look forward to hearing from all the regulars as well as the newbies.

Jane

Hi,

October 14th works well for me, count me in, so glad to hear that Jane, Andy, Kathy and Bob are attending.  This is the first time all summer, well now it's 9/3, that I have logged on.  The summer was crazy for me, my mom has been ill and now my sister was dx with uterin CA.  Will this dark cloud ever go away.  Anyways it will be great to see everyone again.

I wish I could come to this !! The one I attended in April a few years ago (a few months post surgery) was life changing. That's a big statement, and it's a long story, but I would love to attend again one of these days!

Post by: krbonner on October 14, 2012, 06:38:31 am
After being up half the night with a stomach bug my kids graciously shared, I feel like death warmed over. So I'm going to be much more selfish than they were and say I don't want to share this with everyone at a buffet.

Hopefully next time! Now, I'm going back to bed.

Sorry folks that I can't be there today.  I've had about 4 hours sleep and can't seem to get out of my own way.  I do have some great news I would like to share with you all that I am going to be a Grammy.  Our daughter, Natalie and husband Greg are expecting a boy in late January and we are all thrilled. 

I'll see you all in the Spring.  Have a dumpling for me!

Hi Everyone,

Today was the fall ANA Brunch at Maxwell’s in Worcester, MA.

There was a great turn out, and it was a pleasure seeing everyone again. This is a link that will take you to the photos taken at the Brunch.

http://s865.photobucket.com/albums/ab215/SML-Rich56/The%2010-14-12%20ANA%20Brunch%20Bunch%20at%20Maxwells/

Chris we’ll keep you and Will close in our thoughts for terrific results following your Oct. 26th surgery. We hope your recovery is swift.

Kathy, and Keith making the decision for a course of treatment is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. Trust in your self, you’ve been doing the research, when the time is right you’ll know what’s right for you. Stay strong.

With all the laughter and little SSD (single side deafness) joking going on between the post AN’ers I think it was very clear that life goes on, and you will laugh again.

Where would we all be without our extended ANA family, as the Fonz  8) once said, “Well you’d be up a creek Mrs. C”,

Rich & Scarlett

Thanks Rich for posting great shots of a wonderful gathering. It went by way too fast. There were many folks I wanted to visit with but before I knew it we were doing the pic of us all outside.

Phyl, it was so reassuring to see you and Ian there. You are a trooper and an amazing one at that.

Chris, wishing you great results and a wonderful recovery.

Wishing everyone a healthy happy year end. See you all in the spring!

Jane

Many thanks for the high-quality photos.  It was good to see you and Scarlett again.

Great food and good company made for another enjoyable ANA Sunday brunch at Maxwell's in Worcester, Massachusetts.  See you all again in April.  :)

Rich and Scarlett, thanks for taking the pictures (and the time and effort to post them so quickly).
As always, it was great to see everyone. Chris, wishing you the best of luck and a great recovery! Keith - hang in there, once you make that decision you'll feel so much better! Lisa, I'll really try to make it in November, would love to see Dr. Mason.
Have a happy holiday season, y'all,
Helga
