I always love reading about the AR gatherings and I love to look at all of the photos.  I think the more the merrier.  So I have loaded up this one with plenty.  Some of the others were there with their cameras too and will be sharing as well. 

Jeff Belonger sent the message out for the local rainers to hook up and so we had a lunch at the Famous Daves in Annapolis Maryland.

This is everyone.

In attendence were;

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                                                                                  Margaret Rome and Jeff Belonger

 

 

Then I got to meet the one and only John MacArthur, loved him.  Tells it like it is, as we all should do!!  I think John should use this photo I took of him for his profile picture  . . .  Hint, hint John.

 

Patricia Kennedy and Richard Iarossi were engaged in conversation with John MacArthur.

 

 

 

Then I became obnoxious with the camera and took photos with everyone.  It was fun and I had a great time meeting some of the folks who live in your computer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

                 Pat, Margaret Rome's Publisher - I   didn't get her card, shame on me.  Super fun.

 

Me and Pat Hommel

 Martha Brown had lunch with us as well but left before I broke out the camera.

 

 I had a great time.  It was so much fun to meet everyone and to see that the folks I know in my computer are the same in real life.

Audrey, you are the photo pro! You got great pictures of everyone including the best one I've seen of me in years. It was delightful to meet you and the other Rainers - definitely need to make a DC-MD-VA Active Rain Gethering a regular thing.

Audrey.. I started about a week or so ago to see what interest there is in the northeast to have an ActiveRain get-together.  These look like fun.. and I'd like to jump on the bandwagon of going to one.. even if it is one that I plan.  Any suggestions and thoughts you can throw my way would be great.

You are missing a picture in this blog-Me. I know. I know. I should've been there. Sorry I missed it. But one of my goals for 2009 is to meet my super great Active Rain colleagues. You look great in your pictures and you take great pictures as well. Happy Holidays to you Audrey. Great post.

BOO HOO!  I wasn't aware of the luncheon and would have loved to be there to meet everyone in person that I read all the time.  Please keep me in mind if/when everyone gets back together. I bet everyone had a GREAT time!!!!

Oh, i'm so jealous!   (I was all set to go, but then my daughter started, ehm, getting sick all over the house...  When you have two parents, who is the one that stays home?  The realtor with the "flexible" schedule...  Of course.)

Hope it wasn't the last time!

Catarina,

Maybe the next time I will get a chance too to meet you and the rest of the AR gang.

OMG you all I can't believe this got featured.  I have more photos I will share in the future.  If you are thinking of getting together it is the most fun.  Sorry, I have been on Hall butt all day.  Not holiday stuff either.  Trying to wrap up work!!  Thanks for stopping by, Happy Holidays to all of you.

Will be back after my delayed closing and catch up..

Hi Audrey~ If I lived near there I would have loved to have come.   Looks like you all had a great time.  I almost did NOT recognize some by the photos you took because they don't look like their profile picture, LOL!

Okay, All of you that are local, or not so local, we will plan a gathering with plenty of notice and news about it so we can get a big turn out.  Sorry if some of you did not get the notice.  I always say the more the merrier.  Maybe we can do something mid winter when not much is going on?

Looks like everyone had fun.  I'd like to do this in New Jersey - how did you get the word out?
