WOW! I met the lovely Paula tonight... she's as adorable as you can imagine... My first "fancy" meal out... I ordered broiled shrimp and managed to get two down... This tool works SO WELL! Paula sent a great doggie bag home with her associate... eating less than half her meal as well.

We gabbed away 2+ hours... talked about everything from RNY to new homes, kids, jobs, families and more... it was wonderful! BONUS: I got to talk to Renee, "Airesgirl," who is Paula's adopted little sister... I think I must be their mom. I know I'm as proud of them as a parent can be!

We did take pictures... I'll let Paula post them. A most memorable meeting... my FIFTH TT PAL to meet in real life! But who's keeping score? LOL!

Thumbs up WOW What a Sweetheart!

What a WONDERFUL evening with the lovely Katie (aka Momma TT)! Katie you are just just a delite in person as you are the forum! I am so lucky to have the chance to sit down and share a fun evening with you!

THANK YOU Katie for the great time and the pretty handmade potholders...they will look very nice in my new home once I get moved! You are a real treasure!


This was my 1st time to meet up with anyone online or the forum and it was so fun and special! I hope to meet other TT family as I travel the US with my job. I will be in Chicago tomorrow and Minneapolis on Thurs evening and Friday. Next week I am in Southern Cal, San Antonio them Santa Fe NM the end of the week.

I will post the pics when I get home this weekend.
Love to all!
