It was TOTALLY my pleasure!!!!! We had SO much fun - I think we probably drove our busmates NUTS b/c we were laughing hysterically most of the time. ROFLOL!

Although the convention was hostarama heaven, I think my favorite times were those where we all just got to hang out (eat, drink - of course) and talk and laugh. :)

Andrea and her friend Tara were the perfect hostesses. Tara whipped up a fabulous meal and Andrea sure can order a mean pizza! lol

My two favorite memories will be the night we spent sitting by the pond in Andrea's backyard, and the night Tara cooked us dinner and esther opal and Westy joined us!

I have not seen a lightning bug/fire fly for years in Minnesota. Andrea had so many flying around her backyard it was almost magical!

Teresa

are you sure there really were lightening bugs.... it may have been the adult beverages .... lol

ken

roflol

They were definetely lightening bugs........but there sure were alot of them........... perhaps I was seeing double!

adult bevereages........LOL! Is that a lightening bug or the moon reflecting off my bottle?

Teresa, I am in total agreement with you! My favorite memories will be those two dinners also! The banquet sitting with Josh will be one that will also be hard to forget.

whats the deal with josh.. some kind of male hosta stripper or something... jeez o petes ...

i have never heard such fawning over a stripper in my life ... ken

ps: unless its andrea stripper husband.. lol

Not Andrea's stripper husband, although I think he tried to flash us in the attic while we were sleeping. LOL

Probably for the right amount of money the other Josh probably would do a hosta strip show. He's definately one of a kind. He does side show acts, like eating glass and pounding nails into his nose...those kind of side shows.

Okay Ken ...... inquiring minds need to know. What is behind the "stripper" comments? Josh is definetely an entertainer. But I don't think he ever had to remove his clothes to command attention! lol

He has the energy and enthusiam of ten people and I can't even begin to imagine what he was like as a two year old!

How many 24 yr olds can claim they have been hybridizing for 15 years?

Teresa

Just to clarify, we are NOT talking about my husband, Josh - although he DID do a little dance for Jen. roflol

The "other Josh" was a hoot - what a trip! He can also consume a pound of chocolate cake in about 5.7 seconds!

oh god Andrea .. i didn't even know its your husbands name. .. rotf .... sorry for the confusion ....

you guys were fawning over him .. i just got carried away with the scheme ...

no offense meant at all .... sorry if there was.. ken

Ken, I think it is hilarious that you didn't know her husbands name was Josh!!!

LOL!!

roflmao - hysterical!!!!

no offense taken at all, ken...hysterically laughing here...you'll find i'm very difficult to offend (I AM good friends w/ EO, after all! ;)

seriously lmao here

yeah.. i am sure you are.. but i seem to get into all kinds of trouble.. when i dont mean too .. glad to hear you understand.. now what about that ERC ??? maye i will hold MC hostage until i get it.. lol ...

ken

i'm beginning to wonder you turd. lol you already have fire opal and that FABULOUS LIGULARIA YOU WERE DYING FOR (which you still haven't 'fessed up if you murdered it or it's still alive). what more could you possibly want????

i'll trade you ERC for MC. deal?
