Yesterday was my Summertime MeetUp 2013 At Gouveia's Winery & Vineyard Wallingford, CT.  We had 10 ActiveRain Member's show up, and I think you will see from the pictures below we had a great time. The friendships we make at these MeetUps are priceless, and everyone really enjoys each others company.

I don't have a picture of everyone at one time, because some left early, while others arived afterward.  We had plenty of food and oviously being at a Winery drink was plentiful.

There was a good crowd of people at Gouveia's Winery & vineyard this afternoon, but we had plenty of room for our gathering.  Below are pictures of my Summertime MeetUp 2013 At Gouveia's Winery & Vineyard Wallingford, CT.,   I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I did taking them.

Debbie, same here.  At least we got to talk at one MeetUp, and I am sure AR will have the Holiday MeetUps as well.

Joni, we were a fun group yesterday afternoon, and the wine had nothing to do with it ...... LOL

Ed you are right and you are right in the middle of all that :)

Joan, I enjoy these MeetUps and wish I was able to attend others further away.

Maria everyone made yesterday afternoon special, and you were one of the main reasons for that.

Ginny I might be the Host with the most, but I have a long way to go to come anywhere close to our friend the Hostess with the Mostest, Dagny Eason :)

Lisa, it was a good turnout for an ActiveRain MeetUp. Both Dagny Eason and I have members who show up regularly at our MeetUps.

Debbie normally the wine might be the reason, but not with this crowd, they know how to have a good time even if the only thing to drink was water :)

Jerry yes we did have a good time, and this group knows how to party.

Dagny thank you for saying that, but I am still learning form the Queen on the MeetUps Queen Eason :)
