Hi to all those who were there. It was so much fun and I've never been around a group of strangers before that I felt like old friends after only 3 days. I only knew two people before going...Cajun Jeff and Pat. Thanks to everyone for being so friendly and just being themselves. And to Sonny and Sherry for their grand hospitality...opening up their home for us all. The food was magnificent...I gained 5 pounds while there...thanks for that! Barb's proudly using her wine light you ladies made. I hope to see you all again in the fall in NY. We'll be there if we can make it.

It was nice meeting you also. I believe Lorna and I had spent some time talking with your wife on the patio in the shade.

Good to hear from you Bill. I see you got an implant...I got mine 2.5 years ago and enjoy it. I hope we'll see you again at the next gathering. Any questions about it, feel free to ask. I'm certainly not an expert, but may have some insights.

Good to hear from you Steve.

Your reaction was the same as ours 6 months earlier after our first GFMPH In Rochester 2013.

Karen and I plan to not miss an in future.

It would be great if Mr & Mrs Worried Guy can arrange moderate weater the last week of Sept again since we tossed all our winter clothes when we moved to Florida from CT in 2000.

Besides, after Lupron and GFPH they would not fit anyway.

At least we will have the long sleeve tuxedo shirts from Sonny & Sherry's wedding and a roaring bon fire.

See you there.

Can't wait.

Steve,
I got an AUS installed, not an implant. Even though I met my yearly deductible, I decided against the implant/AUS double fix.

I am afraid I will miss the GFMPH NY, we will be on a cruise that weekend to Cozumel which will be GFMPH also. Hopefully Sonny and Sher will be holding the 2015 one again and we can pick up where we left off now that I am a veteran. Next time I will go for a swim in his pool since I will finally be dry!

Sorry...guess I didn't catch the AUS...only saw the AMS, which is the maker of my implant. Anyway, glad you're doing well. Sorry you won't be in NY but a cruise will be a great alternative. Hopefully, we'll see you in the spring next year. Take care and be well...

Darn Big Mac, Wish you guys were able to make it to New York. Steve it was just great having you with all of us at Sonny's.

Sonny and I have been talking. We are both going to the Keys in June and we will be making the plans for the April GFMPH. Will give you guys the update after that. There is a great probability that Sonny and I will alternate years for the GFMPH South.

We will probably have in at my house in Baton Rouge in 4/2015. So you guys start thinking about that.

Jeff,

I like the alternate years idea. Orlando was a MF of a drive, but the scotch & wine were not possible if I were to fly.

Great Steve, I will hold you to it. We have missed you.

Just curious about the SEP GFMPH in Rochester, NY that's only two hours away so might be able to make that....? Thanks

We are having it the last weekend in September, 9/26, 27, 28. People tend to come early and stay late so feel free to add days on either end. We're easy and the food doesn't run out.

I'll send out more info as the time draws nearer.
It sure is fun. :-)
