Ok, that was one of the most seriously painfully fun weekends I've (we"ve?) had in a long, long, long, long time.  And it looks like it's going to be an annual event.  So start saving your money, honey, we're doing it again NEXT year.  And keep in mind those off-the-wall skeins of yarn so that we can play the Skein Game again.
Let's see..... Skein Game, Charades, Add-a-Purl/pearl, shopping at the yarn store in Battle Creek, eating a Win Schuler's, Turkeyville and the Dixie Swim Club, the master knitter and her yarn tattoo....  singing Christmas carols, the ghost, knitting, eating, partying, talking our faces off, laughing until we peed our pants... yes, kids.  We had a great time.  And thank you Twisted Groupies for the wonderful, surprising gift to Dale and me.  Wow.  Totally unexpected!  Seed money for next year.  That was amazing.  You guys are the best.  We couldn't ask for a better, or more fun group of women to hang out with.
It was great seeing everyone.  You came from all over to hang out with us, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan.  And the hotel...wasn't it gorgeous?  It was just the perfect spot.  Let's hope they let us come back NEXT year.... (that we didn't trash it too much...).
