Big5er Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 January was a great month for HDT friends. First Roger (Hewhoknowslittle) stopped by and hung out for a few days as he passed through town. Then Paul and Paula (adept99) dropped by and visited for a bit. I was sad that I didn't get to see Daisy. And then I got to meet Rick and Susan (rickeieio) over dinner. What fabulous people and what a great month!!

rickeieio Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Indeed. I really like putting faces to the names. Swapping lies over a good meal just adds to the experience. For those who haven't met Phil, aka Big5er, he's really a nice guy, nice enough to buy our supper. He might even give LEOs a good name if he's not careful. We also ran into another forum member in Florida, who's name escapes me at the moment, an had supper with Sue and Bob Guthrie (Hither and Yo) a few days ago. Paul and Paula will be staying just a few miles from where we now sit, near San Antonio, Spindrift is coming bye in a couple weeks, and the Dixons may still be in the neighborhood. Oh, and we pulled into Lost Resort RV here and there's a gold Volvo across the way......

Darryl&Rita Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Anyone else notice that Phil's disposition is getting "sunnier", as the little dog countdown works closer to zero?

Big5er Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I don't think I ever met a dog that didn't like me, Brad but that's part of the problem. I have never met a dog I didn't like either. I just can't make those same comments about people. PS, your dogs are great. I'm sorry I didnt get to say hi to Charm when she was in town.

Darryl&Rita Posted February 1, 2019 Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 So, who's up for an impromptu gathering in Texas, around the end of Feb?

Darryl&Rita Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 Well, I guess the gathering in front of Police headquarter never happened, or my invitation got lost in the mail.
