OMG clap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif
They just left..... and if they are special on the board...... in real life..... they are twice as much, trice as much!!!! What a super treat meeting them!! SUCH a great way to end a great day!! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif
Thank you SO much Gary and Laurie for coming over to see me...... you guys are just amazing people and I am super fortunate to get to meet you guys!

I did not take many pictures, just from my cell phone, as I was on a hurry to get down to meet them and left my camera here..... But Gary took many pictures..... many many - he has a oh-my-God high tech cell phone, that one laughing02.gif

We had a lovely dinner, and talked talked and talked clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

The only thing missing were the kitties - but they were there in stories and in our hearts, that's for sure.
I definitely will be making my way over to their place next time so I can stay a little longer and meet the whole family - but I need to wait for the snow to melt first - my Brazilian bum tends to flash freeze flail.gif

So, without further ado, here are some pictures from tonight:

Gary and Laurie, Thank you so much for coming once again....... I was looking forward to meeting you both for a long time, and this was a huge, HUGE treat!
I already knew how special you are, but meeting you face to face was really, priceless! hugs.gif

LOL, Carolina, you're amazing! clap.gif If I had to pick one word, it would be VIBRANT!

Gary and I wasted time going around in circles trying to figure out how to GET to the hotel. Tara already posted, but she'd know what I'm talking about. The hotel is in the middle of a number of highways, and we kept taking the wrong "split." flail.gif

We really had a great time, and SO MUCH to talk about! We really could spend endless hours talking. We managed to cover Brasil, the economy, and politics in addition to cats. clap.gifbiggthumpup.gif

Carolina is as beautiful as she is nice... although maybe it's more appropriate to say she's as beautiful as she is energetic? laughing02.gif And she DID let Gary do some talking! flail.gif

OMG! She gave me THE most thoughtful gift! It's a bead bracelet - with KITTY beads and charms, and beads that spell out Lazlo. heartpump.gifthud.gif Gary was almost in tears when I was showing him the pictures and we were deciding which one to post. laughing02.gif I'm just grinning from ear-to-ear.

Here's the bracelet:

600

I know you can't see the kitty beads too well, and the white ones are washed out, but it's really cute. SO THOUGHTFUL! hugs.gifbiggrin.gifheartpump.gif

Our pictures aren't so different, and I like the one of the three of us on Carolina's phone better, but here are more:

And Carolina IS a shrimp like me, but she's wearing HEELS. laughing02.gif (Gary missed our feet in the picture LOL)

clap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gifclap.gif Carolina, you started threatening to come to NY/NJ area a few months ago, and I'm SO glad you finally got here! Next time, you'll come meet the kitties! biggrin.gif

About that.......... to open it up..... It is an easy to open clasp - you push the center and it snaps open.... I guess it's pretty easy to figure it out.... I just had never seen one of them before biggthumpup.gif

 What a beautiful trio of kitty lovers!!! I saw the bracelet and just cried because it means ssssoo much for all of us who LOVE Lazlo!!  I'm sssooo HAPPY you guys got together!!!

The first thing I thought of, Carolina and Laurie, was how teeny-tiny you two are!!!  I notice things like that cuz I'm like six feet tall!!!

It's kinda nice to live vicariously through you three and not have to leave my cozy bed and Turtle. LOL!!!!

So HAPPY for ALL of YOU!!!!

Thank you Natalie!! You know.... I LOVE what I do... and always have a blast doing business clap.gif But fun, having fun, per se..... I really don't get to have on my trips.... It is business all the way. In and out of meetings, and by the time I get in the hotels, I need to work for a whole other shift, as the World doesn't stop for me - so I usually work until 1-2 am when I am on the road, while on the car with my reps.... I literally did not see NY. Barely noticed laughing02.gif
So.... yeah, aside from the great fun of doing business itself, it was a blast! real special - Laurie and Gary are really really special people heartpump.gif
Huge treat for me to get to meet them! Totally!! clap.gif

I am sooooo glad to be home now though.... got here a couple hours ago, and enjoying a BIG FLUFFY white cat next to me! clap.gifclap.gifclap.gif

Rigel, it is funny about TCS, becoming friends with people here, and then meeting them in real life. It's just not awkward at all!

And of course, I'll pass along your message to "Shelly's Dad." biggrin.gif

We wish you were there (and Mrs. Cool Cat too!) hugs.gif
