I did send Debbie a message and told her, but I haven't heard back from her.
Ok, so that means at least 4 certain. I will make the reservation for noon for 5 people just in case. It will be under Betsy, Navy Mom, so hopefully they will take us all to the same table. lol I will get there before noon and ask them to make sure of that.
I'm excited to meet everyone. :)
I'll be there. I can't wait to meet everyone!
Hi Betsy- just got back from work [ I can't get on here when I'm there] , and no I never got a post from you. Either 12 0r 12:30 sounds good. I plan on getting there a little early and go to a few shops as i never get over there.
Here's my cell 240-994-3384
Let me know as I'm leaving my house at 9:30
Look forward to meeting all!
Sorry Cindy you won't be able to make it. Next time for sure!
Did Debbie say she could make it?
I'm not calling til later today, so if you want later, just let me know for sure.
Could have sworn that I posted a response to you Lori, sorry. I don't know where it went.
What time are we going to meet? I can call them today. I'm guessing it will be 4 or 5 of us. I will make the reservation under Betsy Navy mom. Just give me a time and I'll call. I can't wait to meet all of you ladies. :)
I'll put the link up here if you like. It's a tear jerker.
