Hi Chari,

I am ever so glad we got to ride together that day as well. Not many people saw that place we lived in. Glad we could share it.

The only Vogels that I know we are related to are Fr. John Vogel, who was just appointed pastor at St. Dorothy's in Glendora and his mother in Pasadena. I know that is no where near you. Any others I don't know about.

The dream for us to go to California has probably been put on hold once again.   Believe me, if we make it out there, I'll be calling you!

God bless,
Kristen

Hmmmm...and I'm wondering why you didn't call? Pretty please, do anytime! It's easier for me to rein in the one young son and take calls. Come on, pretty please?


I find it so much easier to type. I can be interrupted and most of the time actually remember what I was thinking when I write. And I can also choose at what time I type. It's fairly late where you are now, isn't it? Whenever I'm on the phone, I have to referee quibbles, hear over singing or piano playing, or hear a huge THUMP and then a whole lot of crying. Maybe someday ... it's my dream ... I can call friends and actually hear what THEY have to say.

Absolutely, Angie! You must promise that the very next time you are here you will tell us!

What are your chances of camping? We will be going for the first time! :)

We are just north of Harrisburg, about 15 minutes or so. Yes, Michele Q and I love within an hours drive of each other. And only a few hours from NOVA too, like I said, come on over!

Angie......PLEEEEEASE come camping! WOW, I just realized JP's 2nd bday is on the way.......wow!


I feel like excuse-maker-woman...this year we aren't doing any extended trips because dh's work has him traveling a lot. We'll be staying close to home and doing short trips. Which gets me to...

Dh's job ALMOST had a trip to San Diego set up for this June, but it has been changed to Santa Fe. But, I still think we can get to SD this year. I'll just have to figure out how to get together with you all. I get stranded on the Navy base without a vehicle while dh is working and no one can visit unless they have a military ID. We'll just have to figure out something! I want to be able to come back and add to my numbers on this thread, LOL.

Love,

Let's see, I've met Kristen in TN (at Dinosaurland, when she still lived in Virginia), Hollee, Lissa (and her husband and adorable little boy), Molly (very briefly at NACHE one year), Michele Q. (also very briefly at NACHE one year) and Molly Smith -- who has to be one of the sweetest women in the world -- just a week ago. I've also seen Elizabeth and MacBeth at NACHE, but was too shy to go up and introduce myself.

Hi Wendy!

Remember when I saw you in church that night? I was the lady staring at you, but wasn't sure it was you because, after all, you weren't in a van or at Dinosaur land! LOL!

God bless,

Yep, because I was having the same problem. "hmm.... she looks familiar." But no large vehicle, no huge plaster prehistoric creatures....

I just updated my original post to include Margot Helene! Sheesh...we met in PA in no connection to this board, and now we're both here, with Margot working with Cay on Catholic Mosaic. How cool is that?

Love,

Resurrecting a very old thread...

I have finally met 4ladsmom - after many years of chatting on these boards and on the phone. She and her son are staying the weekend with us - and what can I say..it is like we have known each other all our lives. Of course we are both constantly talking..Her son is also a wonderful young man - a great advertisment for homeschooling teens.

It was great to meet so many 4realers at the recent IHM too - many of whom I only see once a year at the IHM. I also met someone I had never seen from these boards- it was funny as we were at the same talks and kept bumping into each other everywhere. She gave off "kindred spirit" vibes - we started talking and found out that we sort of "knew" each other from 4real.

Congrats to you for your new additions since I last "talked' with you.

As for Bridget - I would LOVE to meet her.

I think that I have met between 4-10 of you wonderful ladies out in the open...but I don't know many of your nom de plumes, so it is possible, that being in the DC area, I have met way more than that!

Here's hoping to meet more of you!

Cheers!

HI All!

Just wanted to say how wonderful it was to stay at Marilyn’s house and meet her sweet, sweet family! We had a terrific time in DC and feel blessed that Marilyn’s hospitality was what enabled us to make this trip for a film festival that my son had won entry into.....what a great weekend!!

I have had the great pleasure of meeting Bridget as well...what a sweetheart! You all have been a terrific blessing to me over the years!

I must say this is a great little poll.

I have met 6 mums from this forum IRL.
Last year Erin posted about a few of us meeting up at a homeschool camp in northern NSW.

It is such a Blessing,

Leanne

haven't met any in real life buuuttt...I think it would be a good idea to create a 4real group on Facebook.That way I could connect more "faces" to the moms I've gleaned so much help from here on the boards
