Hope your dad will soon be out of the hospital and back to his perky self.

The event was fun, answering newbie question AND the newbies enlightening us oldies to a NEW button on AQ that we had not noticed before. :)

I think the best part of the event was getting to see my buddy Gavin (oh, how he's grown) and meeting two other cuties.

fun

So when doing a location search on a smart phone there is now a button that says "here" which will go out and get your gps location and then search. This is a really neat feature.

I am so sorry I missed the mini meet - but I did notice that I was checking into a winery on foursquare around the same time the pink dragon was getting to the mall.

My husband and I went to a potluck on Saturday night at MenaRick winery and met a lot of people who will be our new neighbors as well as a couple that is opening a winery around the corner from where our winery will be. Lots of fun as well as good advice for us! We will be back up there this weekend and hope to plan out the layout of the vineyard and production buildings soon.

Be on the lookout in the spring for a possible letterboxing gathering that will include the planting of grape vines...

Pfft....Just one more thing to make me jealous. I'm not eligible for an upgrade until sometime in September. At least it's getting closer. The hubs is tired of me borrowing his smart phone. hehe

September is not so bad. I think that the iPhone 5 is set to release in October.

Our kids were very excited too. They would have been more excited had we bought one of the Worlds Largest Gummy Bears. 5lbs costing $50! But, my oldest really enjoyed meeting new people. She is our talker.
Mouse Nanny, it was nice to see you again and I am glad to have met pink dragon and Gavin, airstream dreams, and The Three Beasts. Hope to see everyone again and meet new people too.

How old is she?

I'm thinking that with the Little Beast there and Gavin it would have been very interesting to see who wore each other out with the talking! LOL! Bet she did love it!

Ha my phone will be 5 years old in December and it still works just fine. But I agree a smartphone would be nice and maybe my next one will be that. Don't think this one is going to last me much longer.

Mid-state??? Not Mts? not Coast?, mid-state, mid-state!!!, Wow! I'm hopping like a tigger now. I feel like I'm sort of, kinda mid-state. Fingers are crossed that you'll be moving kind close to me. :)

turns out Mr. Umbrella needs to be closer to Charlotte to fly on a regular basis than we thought. So, going all the way to Asheville is probably out. We're currently thinking we're going to end up in Hickory or thereabouts.

Stay tuned for next week's revelation. LOL

Tigs, Honey, I think that you made a typo. You meant that you were moving to the Mooresville area, not Hickory.

Yes it is. However, here's the bizarro thing: they don't have direct connections to BTV, which is what Mr. U needs. If Southwest flew into BTV, that would work. JetBlue flies into BTV; JetBlue flies out of Charlotte, every morning at 6 am. He can be in BTV by 10:30. On the way home, he can be back by 12:30 am, if he had to (not that he wants to, but he could if he had to). That was part of our decision-making process.

Did i mention Mr. U is bringing his job with him? Yeah, commuting once a month back to VT. i still have to find one. So, Dm, we may end up closer to Mooresville. Depends on where the job lands me. We're gonna start in Hickory, though. . .

You might consider the Kannapolis/Concord area too. A 35 minute drive to the airport....

Yeah, that's what I thought too- I got a plain old 4. Having Siri talk to me was kind of annoying too, and it was cheap!!
