 I so want to come to this

 I so want to come to this but I am worried about my three year old ending up being disruptive.  Maybe  I'll just bring my older son?  Decisions decisions...

Thankyou for all the nice folks who came to shake hands in unity

Thankyou for all the nice folks who came to shake hands in unity ! OLYBLOG totally rocks ! IT was so good to meet all of you and net-work. I am sorry that I personally did not get a chance to visit with very many of you ! Taking care of logistics and welcoming took most of my time. Hopefully, we shall meet each other at similar peace events around town and we can talk some more. Once again, thankyou very much for coming and honoring us with your presence and friendship! Ayub (Rick McKinnon- your endeavor is a great service to OLympia ! Keep it up, my friend ! )

Ditto what Norm said...

it was a really great time- good company and good food.  (Maybe a little too much good food... in fact, I was starting to worry that my shirt seams were going to bust from eating so much.)

Ditto what Norm and Phil

Ditto what Norm and Phil said. The food was fantastic and I am now on a quest to recreate those yummy little balls of doughy beany goodness. Mmmmmm. I am usually a nervous wreck in a room full of people that I don't know but I really felt welcome and comfortable. =)
