Hello to All from one very tired but very happy 'Gatherer'!!
I finally arrived home at 2:30 pm (Tues), I've visited with my mother, unpacked my cases and done my laundry and I have had no sleep for over 45 hours now! It is 2:30 in the morning and 'my own bed' is looking pretty good, so this is going to brief!
I cannot believe I will not wake up at 6am to see 12 other smiling, happy, enthusiastic faces, all desperate to get back on those trails, tomorrow morning!! :0(
But - what a weekend! What magnificent scenery, what exciting famous film locations to discover, what great people we met, but best of all, what wonderful friends we made!! 56(?) people getting together, having fun and accepting, nay, laughing and totally enjoying each other's funny little ways! All I can say is - I'm sure going to miss the gentle snores of my ex-roomies (you know who you are - Miss EEEM), situations being summed up in Mohican "quotes" and I'll sure miss being able to discuss our favourite movie with other people who do not view me as 'a breed apart'!!
So - who do we thank for all this? Rich and Elaine, that's who!! So, thanks, thanks, thanks!!!! And to Marcia, Ilse, Jo and Sarah and a big THANK YOU to our own very precious SOLDIER #2!!!! WHAT A TEAM!!
So, now we start to save up for next year's Millenium event!! (Don't we Rich?!?!)
My thanks to everyone at the "Great Mohican Gathering 1999" - every one of you made my holiday very special in some way! Truly, this Gathering was more stirring to the blood than any imagining could possibly have been!! Oh yes!! WHAT AN ADVENTCHA!!!!!
Take care everyone, here on the board.
Best wishes, Kate.
