Well, since I
talk too much to start with, and since I was in on the
original storytelling the night all this occurred, I'm just
going to take a brief moment here to wrap up. First of all,
thank you to all the ladies for writing up things from their
individual perspectives. It was great reading this and
reliving the evening yet again. I must say, it
could not have turned out better had we spent hours planning
it. Everything just seemed to fall into place. I am thankful
that Hope had the foresight and class to rent a room in the
very hotel where Diana was attending her conference, and for
inviting us all up. Brilliant, Hope! <g> Kate, I'm
glad your mom was able to spent some time with us - she was
verra entertaining! Too bad she didn't stick around longer!
And Mandy, so sorry you had to leave early. Next year for
sure!!!!!!! Thanks to ALL
the ladies who were there. You're all the greatest and we
all had a great time. Thanks to
Elva, Diana's friend who picks her up from the airport every
year, for dropping in with her. And thanks, of
course, to the lovely Diana, who is always charming, witty
and holds us captive whenever she speaks or writes. Thanks
for taking time out of an unbelievably (I'm sure) busy
schedule to meet up with a bunch of hosers - but a special
bunch who love what you do! And, last but
not least, thanks to all the Ladies of Lallybroch who keep
this place a going concern. Here's to more "gatherings" of
the Clan MacHoser. :-)
