It was a genuine blast!

I haven't worked with them in some time...almost 2 years, but they still miss me.........

I'd miss you too. :hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. You are a sweetheart!

And I'm keeping you from going to bed.........

Thank you........ :hug:

[momophile]

9. you are keeping me up!

by the way, why do some of the people in your pic look familiar? Have you shown them before? Or do they just have friendly faces?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. A couple of them have been in a photo I had up before.......

But that was back in 2005!

They are also very friendly!

You might be blessed with an extraordinary memory, though! :pals:

[KitchenWitch]

2. Where did you all go out?

Looks like a good time was had by all!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. We had a complete blast!

Don't tell anybody, OK? We went to the Olive Garden! :yoiks:

I even had a glass of wine, and hilarity ensued! :rofl:

[KitchenWitch]

6. What are you, some kind of freeper?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

ROFLMFAO!

[aquaman]

10. Hey Ms. Peggy.....

Beautiful picture. Have not talked to you in a while. Hope you are well. I am doing quite well. Good to see you tonight. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

12. My dear aquaman!

How nice to have you drop by! Thanks for your compliments!

I am well, thanks.......I hope you, your wife and son are doing well too!

:hi:

[aquaman]

13. You have a great memory....

We are all well, my son is over 10 months old now and growing like crazy. Time moves fast.

[JackBeck]

14. It looks like all of you had a great time.

Could that big smile be from that one glass of wine? Or did you have more than one? You can tell us. It's the Lounge. We won't hold it against you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear JackBeck!

I only had ONE glass......and when this pic was taken, I hadn't even ordered it yet....

Much less ingested it!

We had the best time! I hadn't laughed like that in ages........

Thanks! :hug:

[RoyGBiv]

15. I love your smile ...

You smile better than any person I know. I swear ... it always does my heart good to see a pic of you.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear RoyGBiv.......

Omigod.........thank you so much! :blush:

Such compliments......really, you touch my heart with them....:hug:

[Broken_Hero]

16. Looks like you all had a great time...but

my question is, what did you guys eat?...:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear petersond!

What did we eat?

Did you see upthread where we went?

Do I have to humiliate myself again? :rofl:

I had ravioli stuffed with giant portobello mushrooms...

They were delicious!

Are you happy now?

:yoiks:

:hi:

[Broken_Hero]

27. No, I didn't see that...bad bad Peg...:)

Eating at the Olive Garden...how dare you! Just kidding....:) Looks like you all had a ball...:D

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. ROFLMFAO!

You know we had a blast!

And I know full well that you're kidding me.......:hug:

[Writer]

19. What a good group.

Everyone looks like a nice person to work with. What kind of business was this?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Writer........

The group is from the American Red Cross, and is a mixture of nurses and administrators.......

They are all hard-working and a lot of fun to be around!

I don't miss the work, but I do miss my friends.......

I was quite grateful to have them invite me....

:hi:

[Writer]

26. How kind that they did.

It's nice to know that you're on someone else's thoughts. :)

[SeattleGirl]

22. How fun, Peggy!

And you all make such a beautiful looking group! :loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[aquaman]

23. SeattleGirl.....

LONG time no see, I have been away. Good to see you. :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

25. Hey!!!!!

Nice to see you! How's aqua spawn? :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

24. My dear SeattleGirl!

Thanks, sweetie!

I had nearly forgotten how much fun it is to go out with friends!

They are truly beautiful, inside and out.......:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[SeattleGirl]

29. And you all LOOK like nurses.

I do not mean that in a negative way. I think I told you that my mom was a CNA, and both my sisters are. Been around lots of CNA's and nurses for years, and there is a special "air" about people in these professions that I ccan always sense. CNA's and nurses ROCK!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

31. Ah, my dear SeattleGirl........

Not all of us are nurses........

The two ladies sitting down aren't.....they are the folks who recruit our donors, and who make sure that our schedules are as full as possible!

The rest of the group are nurses, indeed! :bounce: :bounce:

[SeattleGirl]

32. Donors?

Not sure what you mean. (It's Friday night; the swiss cheese holes in my brain are opening up.....:crazy: )

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Ah, donors!

I hear ya about Friday night!

The donors are the folks, who in this case, come in to donate their blood or platelets or plasma....

I worked for the American Red Cross Blood Services.......

It's separate from the Disaster Services, BTW........

:pals:

[SeattleGirl]

35. Thanks, Peggy!

Well, they still work in the medical field, and so that's why they also have the "air" about them.

:pals:

[UrbScotty]

30. My dear CaliforniaPeggy!

Which one is you? ;-)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear ih8thegop!

I sense you're kidding me.....but just in case you aren't......

I'm the one in the back row on the far left.....the silvery haired one!

:D

[UrbScotty]

36. Actually, I didn't know what you looked like!!

How gorgeous!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

37. This thread shows me much better, my dear ih8thegop!
