Thank you Girls for thinking of me, I too wish so much i could have been there i would have loved to have been able to meet you all, however i just feel really lucky and privilleged to have been able to read about your adventures, from me a really huge THANK YOU.
Just a query was Nana drinking the last drop or was Nana practising her sea lion impression (balancing a bottle on her nose).
I hope you have all had a really fantastic time.
Lots and lots and lots of love

Frances. The hubby's pop in and out of the sewing room now and then. I don't know what they do the rest o the time. Well, except for my George who opted out of the party early by landing in the hospital. At least I know where he is.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
I hope no one had a sleeping room anywhere near the dining room, because from 8-10:30 pm, the Madams of Missouri took over the room for a few rousing games of strip poker and Left-Right-Center, and let me tell you, it got loud! The big winners of the evening were Barbara, Nana, and Elaine! Here we are practicing our poker faces....
I can confidently say that a good time was had by all!

Oh Judy, that is not the place for anyone to be while on a holiday. I hope your hubby is doing well. Ginny
By the way, where has Thea been n all of these pictures? Ginny
Ginny: Oh Judy, that is not the place for anyone to be while on a holiday. I hope your hubby is doing well. Ginny
Thanks Ginny. It has been a stressful time and I came, according to the doctor and paramedics, within minutes of loosing him. Luckily very good medical services here in Branson. I've gotten wonderful support from my quiltling friends here at the retreat as well as my family and friends who are helping to make the arrangemdents for the trip back home smoother. I can't say the same for Alaska Airlines but that is another story.
He's out of the woods and will be released today, but will be facing some challenging times ahead.
Judy, that must have been so scarey. I am glad you were among friends when this happened. I will say a few prayers for you and hubby to make the trip back home safely and without incident. I hope his challenges can be overcome. Ginny
Girls, I won't be able to make it back today. My sweetie snuck home last night, I haven't seen him since the 6th of January, he will have to leave again early Friday Morning, so i am going to spend the day with him.
I really enjoyed meeting all of you, will be a cherished memory, maybe i can meet all of you again someday

Nana's just rolling long putting out those quilt tops. Here's the latest one.
I'm sure I can fit this one in my bag....she better stay up all night to guard it or take it to her room with her.
Patti: Judy, prayers for you and DH.
thanks Patti. I'll just be so glad to get him home and to some doctors so we can get answers and a course of action. He's fine but his years of smoking caught up to him rather suddenly and unexpectedly at 3:30 in the morning. I had heard of COPD but don't know anything about it. My research on line has been confusing. The hospital here isn't ruling out other factors and said we need to get him into a specialist when we get home. I'm on the phone this morning to make an appointment just as soon as the west coast time catches up.
This is definitely a trip we won't both forget very soon.

Well, this kind of strip poker gives a whole new meaning to "strip poker". This one sure fave me a chuckle this morning.
Judy, my prayers and thought go out to you and your husband. That was probably the best place for both you and your husband when this happened. God go with you.

Judy honey,
I am so sorry your DH was rushed to hospital, if id been there i would have given you a huge hug, prayers going up that both of you are ok, your DH for dealing with being ill and you for dealing with the stress.
Love and hugs to both of you.

Karla,
you are quite right if i had been there we would have been fighting over which one of us was taking it home.
