slight attendance change to the list.... as for Iain/CB, he got a promotion at work... just in time for his boss to leave for a 10-day cruise so he won't be joining us but he sends his best to everyone.... updated list as we have a few "regrets" not attending.

Updated for Sunday, November 11, 11am-? (we always close the place!):

another successful brunch, all!  I was so touched by the restaurant's warmth and hugs and thoughfulness in taking care of our group.  It truly is amazing how much they embrace the brunch gang and I have to say, we are really lucky that they take such good care of us.... and as for Gil, our Brazilian nut....... to think he and his wife just had a "mini-me Gil".... supposedly looks just like dad.... and the dumplin's.... oy!  Oy!  Dang, they were good.

It was great to see the brunch "veterans" and some terrific new faces... .patticakes, it was great to meet you and Joe.... and am thrilled that Trish FINALLY found the restaurant after circling the area for an 1-1/2 hours!  :o.... says a lot about GPS systems as it took a live human voice  (thanks Sue!) to bring her to us.... at least there was some food left.

Thanks again all for a delightful day!  BTW, I'm wearing elastic waistband pants ... or a MuMu ... to the next brunch :)

Hi!

   Just saw the pictures. Best ones yet!! Sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. My flight left Boston at 3:15 and seemed to make record time getting down to Tampa: 2 hrs, 45 min. I'm walking around outside talking on the phone bare-chested under the dripping Spanish Moss. 77 degrees with no humidity. Satuday night I was playing a gig up in Epping, NH and it was cold!

  I really feel bad about missing the brunch but I promise to make the next one in April. Hint: Jody will be up in April around her birthday and will attend but only if she can get two weeks off. Her birthday will be on Sunday, the 6th and if she can only get that week off then I'll have to attend her party instead of the brunch. If, however, she gets two weeks off then she can devote that other Sunday to attending the brunch, if we can coordinate it on that particular weekend. If not, then maybe it would be best to schedule the brunch at the end of April when things will be in the clear for me.

Great pictures, Phyl!  Do we look a bit COLD out by the bus or what!  So are we all just a tad jealous of Paul in Florida!   ;D
But you're right...the warmth is there inside from all the great new friends!  Oh, and those warm dumplings too!  (Forget the gym until after the holidays!).

I looked at the "fish and tackle" t-shirt and guessed that JUST had to be Joef before I read the names on the bottom. See even us Pacific Northwesterners enjoy to see the photos.

Yes, you guys do look cold - HA HA HA and here we are just south of Paul in Cape Coral, Florida with doors and windows open enjoying our lanai while we sip our after dinner tea!!  Pretty soon the Red Sox will be here for spring training (we're only 10 minutes from the park).  Sorry to have missed the brunch - will catch one some day.  Glad you all had a great time and you've got the calories to contend with!!1

I had a great time, as usual!  Gil really outdid himself with the dumplin' tray.  Fantastic!!!  I can't believe he made them just for us.  What a sweetie-pie.

Next brunch on April 6, 2008 after the snow is done.  Mark your calendars - Bill and Gil have already been warned!!

Thanks!

I just licked my computer screen--NO! NO! not the pics of YOU lot, but the ones of them apple dumplins, not the Apple Dumpling Gang, which is what you should start calling youselves, you know.

I know you all had a great time, I can tell by the grins!
