Darlene Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Wormie is probably still in his car driving northwest as fast as he can to be reunited with his beloved wife, dufflebag full of goodies I sent back with him for the two of them. MomM and MrMomM are driving northeast, back to their beloved home with suitcases full of goodies I sent back with them. AO5FG is probably already back home, settling back in with her beloved family and hopefully enjoying the goodies I was able to share with her. I figured this would be a perfect time to take a few minutes to share with everyone here at the site what my perspective was...what my experience was with those that came to the MrsS get together... Originally, I had started planning this particular get together because it had been the allotted 2 years since the last one. In the beginning many people expressed interest and planned on coming but life has a way of throwing one curve ball or another and regrettably, several were unable to attend. Some of the 'regular' attendees were unable to attend for one reason or another and I had begun to think that perhaps it was not God's will that we hold a get together this year. I didn't move on that thought, just pondering it and before I knew it, there was less than a week before everyone would arrive. I called MomM to talk with her about it. I knew that her and MrMomM were definitely coming so I wanted her thoughts on a smaller, more intimate crowd vs the larger crowds in previous get togethers. She expressed a sincere desire to come and I realized that the get together wasn't based on the number of people who attended, but rather those that God would bring for His reasons. I had a game plan laid out on all that we would do....lots of cooking and lots of time spent on making various body care products...soap, lotions, etc. We did all that and more but what I didn't have planned was the intensely special way in which everyone touched my heart. There was something unique with this small gathering that I've never experienced before and I found myself falling more in love with each person individually...the friendships deepening, the bonds solidifying and the appreciation that God had crossed our paths ran high. Some things are meant to be and can defy our plans and expectations. This is one of the reasons I've learned that His way is always better and I'm so grateful we were all able to gather together. While MomM and I were talking this morning, she made a suggestion that surprised me because I had already been contemplating the same things. There really is something special when we gather together and I cannot find any legal documents that state we can only gather every 2 years, and that we can only gather in the Fall . Her and I decided that we feel in our hearts that another MrsS get together is in order...sooner vs later. With THAT said, we're going to plan on having another gathering this coming Spring...probably March or April. It would be so nice if y'all could come so check your calendars and we'll figure out a date that is best suited for the majority. Springtime in the mountains is absolutely gorgeous and instead of winding down for the season, we're winding up for the season so there will be a ton of fun things we can do. If anyone is interested in learning beekeeping, I'll definitely be working on the hives, etc etc etc. Anyway, I'm sure wormie will tell lots of lies about his time here and MomM and MrMomM will tell lots of truths. AO5FG will be a good referee for keeping wormie on the straight and narrow and hopefully somewhere along the way, y'all will get a glimpse into that something special that wants to defy the written word that we shared together over these past few days .

Momo Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Great news Darlene. Are you up to another "home invasion" so soon? That gives you 6-7 months to recuperate. I will start my mad money fund now and hope that no unforseen circumstances use it up before this spring. The puppies were adorable! Quote Link to comment
