the days are getting shorter, nights are getting chillier and I am so very ready Las Vegas, those of you who have skype or webcams, let me know and maybe we can set something up so that if you can't join us in person you can join us via computer.

What a great idea. I too, am very ready. I am so excited to meet Caroline and Jeanmarie. When this is over, we will plan another. Maybe in 6 months, but at least in a year from now. What do you all think?

Yes , please plan another for those of us who can't make this one.

No skype or webcam but.... I shall be with you in my heart and pray you have the best time ever!!!!

I love you all. Sherri

Deb you are absolutely amazing. I am technologically an idiot. I went to buy a new TV and the guy wanted to sell me a SMART tv that did a million different things. I asked him if he had any STUPID tv's that just turned on and off with a remote.

I have seen the webcan and skype on Oprah and it would be great to talk with others while we are in Vegas.

I am not saying I am anxious to get to Vegas but I have all my clothes laid out upstairs and my suitcase sitting in the living room as a reminder that in exactly 14 days I will be meeting some of my BFF's.

I don't know if I could actually get away every 6 months but would certainly try.....

Deb,

What a great idea, I have a web cam but pretty computer challenged, I will need the help of my daughter to walk me through it, but that can be easy to set up. Let us know..

Deborah48 09/21/2011

If you have a webcam skype is easy, right now it is 4:30 am so I am too tired to put instructions here but I will later....

What are you doing up at that ungodly hour. Mind you, I'm always up at that hour but that's because I start work at 7 am. I hope you're not going to tell me that you have'nt gone to bed yet??!!??. LOL

Deborah48 09/21/2011

when my husband wakes me up sometimes i can't go back to sleep, this has been one of those nights and yup, I'm still up, running on 4 hours of sleep, sigh

Deborah, you really need to do something to be able to get some more rest yourself. You cannot keep going on 4 hrs of sleep a day.

I have skype and it is easy girls...if you have a laptop, the camera is most likely built in already and all you woould need to do is download skype. then it is pretty self explanatory. Deborah, I think I will just talk to you in person in Vegas....lol. I want to give you a big ole bear hug!

Like JeanMarie, my spare room has clothes all over the bed as I keep thinking of what I might need. Accoridng to the weather on my computer, it has been in the high 90's all week this last week. I will keep checking the long range forecast and make clothing adjustments accordingly.
I certainly hope we can do this again sometime so as to meet some of our other BFF's.

hugs......Carolyn
