[gadgetMe]

Ok, Cindy ................ now you have done it <img src="/images/boards/smilies/rolleyes.gif" /><br /><br />Guess I will HAVE to come back <strong>again</strong><br /><br />love looking at the photos. <img src="/images/boards/smilies/biggrin.gif" /> and blogs, makes me homesick for the RTR home<br /><br />Putz <img src="/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif" />

 

[cyndi]

Putz, I really enjoyed checking all the links to make sure they worked and&nbsp;reminiscing. So good seeing everyone, even if it was just in pictures.<br /><br />See you in a few weeks! Save me a seat at the Tiki Bar!<br />&nbsp;

 

[KalaniStorm]

Can I post pictures of a couple of days ago here?

 

[gadgetMe]

Absolutely&nbsp;&nbsp; Why not Pictures are always good<br><br>There are many folks that do not get a chance to experience a RTR, the more information, the bigger the success in the future <br><br>Putz

 

[KalaniStorm]

These are at the 10 a.m. meeting for introduction into the camp and each other on the 9th!

 

[swankiewheels]

I was there too... Jan. 2013 (in fact from Oct 2012-March 2013).&nbsp; Spend part of my time making jewelry.&nbsp; Hope to make more this coming winter and also travel around doing some kayaking in AZ.
