Good morning fellow EXers. I am “recovering” from one of the BEST WEEKENDS of my entire life.  I had so much fun and met so many amazing people at the reunion.  If there is ANY way that you can start planning to attend the next one, I would strong recommend it.  I laughed so hard and for so long that I am sore.  Of course, the old lady caravan was ridiculously funny, Sky, Youngatheart, DJ, and me…laughing all the way there and back.  I was the only one who was guilty of taking a couple of naps, but I could hear the laughter that was like a lullaby for me.  Nashville is wonderful but it was made infinitely more wonderful because of the presence of the people in attendance at our reunion.  It is so much fun to put faces with the avatars, the personalities shine through the blogs.

I am on my way to work, this is my last week before summer break.  My son is getting married on Sunday and I am leaving for 10 days in NY on the 5th of May, partly to attend a memorial service and partly to just spend some time with my oldest daughter and my grandchildren.  I still have to get something to wear to both of those things.  Oh well, I have Thurs, Fri, and Sat.

Love to all, I will be around as much as I can.

Ellen
