OK...I have to admit that when I saw the 1st picture, I thought that CrazyCat was Jim Scott and I about flipped -- then  realized he was back a little more -- I'm breathing a bit better now...    ;D

It was WONDERFUL seeing everyone again and meeting the new folks.  It was absolutely great.  Then when you add in the fantastic food--What a perfect day.
Many thanks to Phyl and Jane for coordinating our day.

Sorry I'm late in posting here. I've been a bit overwhelmed with allergy problems! The pollen seems to be worse this year. That together with already impaired equilibrium is not a good combination!

   It was great to see everyone! The food was fantastic as usual. It was especially cool seeing that Jim and his wife drove all the way across Connecticut up to Mass to attend
the brunch. We had a good conversation!

I'll buzz in later!

Looks and sounds like you all had a great time!!  It's nice that friendships and good times can come from having a brain booger. Who knew? ;)

I want that dessert and I want it now.

Phyl -

as you may already know, one of the local ANA support groups in my area (Southwest Chicago) just got a new leader; so our meetings will be starting again soon! 

Since I'm always reading about what great brunches the NE ANA forum gang has, I've already suggested to her that we try to set up a few brunches of our own.  I'm not sure we'll find comparable dumplings, but I'm hopeful our group brunches will be as successful as yours are.

Also, for anyone in my area who didn't receive an email from the ANA with the new leader's information plus the time & date of the next meeting, I'd be happy to send it to you via PM - or you can contact the ANA directly.

Will do.  It may be a little while before the leader gets something organized though.

Her first meeting is July 13th and I think she is going to try to get suggestions from those who attend.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the meeting; but fortunately, I'll be soaking up the sun on the Jersey shore  ;D
