Hello fellow travelers!
« on: July 22, 2009, 12:22:00 pm »
Good morning everyone,

I just purchased my tickets for Boston today, so I wanted to introduce myself to all of you.  I am already a member, but I mostly read rather than post (I'm a little shy, but trying to break out of it).  I am in my early 30's and work in the non-profit sector.  I live in the southwest and have 3 daughters.  I will be attending AMG with my lovely daughter, Meena, who is 7 years old and positive.  I'm looking forward to connecting with everyone, and also to exploring Boston.   :)

Hi Sheri... nice to meet you!  It looks like Mini won't be the only 'little one' at this year's AMG.  It's definitely going to be a fun trip!

Good morning everyone,

  I will be attending AMG with my lovely daughter, Meena, who is 7 years old and positive.  I'm looking forward to connecting with everyone, and also to exploring Boston.   :) 

Hey Sheri:

Welcome!  I can't wait to meet you and Meena.  I think you're going to have a great time.  This is an event that I wouldn't miss for anything. 

We laugh.  We cry.

We eat.  We drink.

We sightsee.  We kibitz.

But mostly we just bond. 

I've been positive for half my life (and I'm 52  :o), I can say hands down, these gatherings have given me some of the best memories of my life.

RAB   ;D

Hi Sheri

This is my 5th AMG and believe me you will enjoy meeting everyone just as we will enjoying meeting you and your daughter Meena.

Having turned 61 yesterday I'm the Granny of the group..but I can still keep up with the younger ones..well,  for the most time anyway.. :D.

It will be good for Mini to have a little friend to hang around with..look forward to meeting you both.

Hugs to you both
