Diane and I have checked in and after a five hour battle with check-in, have finally got a refrigerator. The seven of us gathered for dinner in the hotel. My iPad doesn't take very good pictures, but it is the spirit of the group that counts.
I was unable to fit my stand in my suitcase or carry-on and my System 4 table clamp did not arrived so I had to resort to a rock in a sock for my frame weight, which I put in my carry-on. Going through security they flagged my bag and asked if I had glass. I said “no glass, just a rock in a sock”. Well, it had to be tested for me to proceed to the gate. The TSA woman was very kind when she let me go, but asked “is there a story?” How do you explain ANG seminar and frame weights?
Sue C was kind enough to host a luncheon for those of us who will be attending the seminar in Chicago. Those who will be attending Sue made a wonderful lunch of Cobb Salad, biscuits, and cantaloupe followed by an outstanding peach cobbler with vanilla ice cream.
The attendees for the lunch, all of whom will be attending seminar, are Sue C, Jill W, Dee, Carol, Susan H, Rosie, Heidi, and Diane. We're all getting excited!
Rosie has been kind enough to reteach me to post a blog on our website. I hope to continue to blog while in Chicago and to include pictures of my progress. Sue C. has been a wonderful hostess and provided a delicious lunch to ease into the lesson. Thank you to both Sue and Rosie for the help and to the rest of the lunch bunch for the moral support.
