my tiara and boa are worth about $4 between them

Do you have Skype June?

Congrats on the TOPP Susan

No skpe Broni.

Probably gonna be on skype and eating and sipping some wine, and will have to get around to the online bit later.

I had the pantsuit already on, silly girl, just waiting for last minute to put on the finery.

2 of my daughter's friends slept over. They just walked past me at the pooter wearing a tiara and boa. I have no idea what they'll tell their parents, or if they'll ever be allowed here again.

Keith is trying to get a conference call going now

What are coincidences, just pulled out a box of VHS tapes and on on the cable cars of SF fell off the top. Forgotten ken had even bought it!

I have to laugh about your daughter's friends Susan.

You are going to have to fill me in on the SF call. No Skype, no MSN.
I still need to feed the sheep. Horses and cows have had their hay, and the pigeons are happy with their heat lamp on. It has dropped to 37 degrees, and it's supposed to get to 29 tonight. And it's still raining! On and off for 5 days now!!!!! The rain was needed, but we have cold mud now. Very hard on livestock.

mo, keith, cp, anne,broni and i all chatting now. they're a noisy lot in the restaurant. Keith says other diners left.

keith reading a note from cg now,toasting to virtual friends now

we've ended the conference call for now. Keith will call us individually so we can use video. That was so much fun - me talking to friends in San Francisco, 2 places in France, Brisbane, Canberra, Western Australia, Brisbane.

Thanks for keeping up updated Susan.

Just had a one to one video call with Keith and everyone

Cathy/Kathy was wearing her tiara on her nose for a while, so much noise and laughter

Broni, thanks for letting us know. Hope you sent all our best wishes to them too.

Heidi, there is a cold wind with rain here also. I just did a silly thing, and ran out to Al's office without a coat. not a good thing to do when it is in low 40's here.

I imagine that restaurant will never be the same again, after the Sudoku invasion

Yes MizT told them everyone sent their love, was hard to hear them all and Keith had the sun at his back so was hard to see them properly it was a bit dark

Think Susan said on easy that some people had left the restaurant they must have taken it over hehe! Just sent a message to Vici to find out what is happening she has not responded yet

Shosho told me she is flying out tonight, a whirlwind visit for her

Was just talking to Vici but Anne was calling her so I hung up

I've just had a video chat with them in SF. I saw another diner stand up, look at them then leave. Keith has a tiara and boa too - boy colours he said - blue and green. Mamacita just giggled the entire time. It was so much fun! I tried to show Kathy and Rob a mango, but they had no idea what it was.

I"m posting copying and pasting messages on Easy and here Broni. Haha. Just reading the pages now, as I've been posting updates without readying. I got a TOPP? - what a great morning!

I really wish I could see and hear all that. Oh, well.

Heidi why don't you get Skype?

Keith and Vici have logged off, guess there batteries ran out.

All sounds like great fun. Have been looking at webcams for ourselves and son in Melbourne for Christmas.

Hubby said he thought he had a webcam somewhere. Wish he would find it, I would even make up my bed and hang up my clothes to be able to use it hehehe.

Now I've caught up on reading. June, it was lovely that you were with us in spirit - boa, tiara and PJs. "Those" emails always come just when you don't want them, so best deleted.
Heidi, our webcam only cost about $50, and Skype is free, so there's no real cost involved. I had a chat with Broni later, and suggested we do the same thing here in Australia. Spread from North Qld to Melbourne to Perth makes it hard to find a place without some having to bear expensive flights I guess. Still, what do you all think, and when could we do such a thing? Now to catch up on Easy, then I must be off to Mum's.

I hear that Skype requires Windows, and I don't have it.

My Mac does have a built in camera.

Hi all. Had a good day shopping with my mom and my boys. S1 got a few new things, mommy got nuttin'

Hey Heidi, just google Skype for Mac and guess what???

WOW Broni, thanks. I'm so glad that I heard wrong. But that means that I'll have to clean up to talk to people!

June, just don't look at that e-mail. I think it's almost time for the SF gathering to begin. I'm sitting here at the ready to join in a toast. I thought I would settle for a pink boa this evening. It goes well with my tiara.

I am in the middle of the clean up Heidi. Sorting through stuff that shoul have been ditched years ago!.

Julie, I don't have a tiara or a boa. Am I going to be underdressed????

Julie, what color is your tiara?
Isn't mine really smart?

Fraid so, Tammi, but that is OK this once.
