Sadly, Carolina won't be meeting the babies. :( We're leaving in a few minutes to head out to our NJ office, and we'll be stopping to see Carolina on our way back home - it's just a few minutes off the highway we have to take home. :D

Maybe on her next trip to NY/NJ the timing will work out so she'll be able to head out this way (we're out on the PA border, so not close to any place anyone would be traveling to NJ for business. :lol3: ).

Just a few hours away now! :clap:

OMG :clap::clap::clap::clap:
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::clap::clap::clap:
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 :lol3:

We had a lovely dinner, and talked talked and talked :clap::clap::clap:

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:

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:

Oh my gosh :hyper: !!! I had to log on right away because Laurie told me you were posting pictures right now and I couldn't wait till later :lol3: I am filled with excitement just seeing these pictures. What beautiful, smiling faces and I can see "cat lover" in all of you. I think it is really, really special when we have the chance to meet our friends we have met through TCS. Really, really special :heart3: So glad you had a wonderful dinner and time together :happy3: :lovegrin:

LOL, Carolina, you're amazing! :clap: 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:

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: :bigthumb:

Carolina is as beautiful as she is nice... although maybe it's more appropriate to say she's as beautiful as she is energetic? :lol3: And she DID let Gary do some talking! :flail:

OMG! She gave me THE most thoughtful gift! It's a bead bracelet - with KITTY beads and charms, and beads that spell out Lazlo. :heart3: :thud: Gary was almost in tears when I was showing him the pictures and we were deciding which one to post. :lol3: I'm just grinning from ear-to-ear.

Here's the bracelet:



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: :D :heart3:

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. :lol3: (Gary missed our feet in the picture LOL)



:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: 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! :D

The hotel is in the middle of a number of highways, and we kept taking the wrong "split." :flail: Oh, what about me telling you I was in the wrong hotel? :hide: :thud: :doh3: This is the third hotel I am staying for the third night, so confusion hit me like a truck :lol3: When I got to the Crowne Plaza I said..... opsy! I am not at the Sheraton :doh3: Thank Goodness Laurie wasn't already at the lobby waiting for me!
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: :bigthumb:...... and the beauty industry.... and the stock market.... and retail.... and cell phones.... and cell phone carriers.... and the weather.... :lol3: we went as far as colonization! Laurie is not kidding when she is saying whe could talked for hours! :clap::flail:
Carolina is as beautiful as she is nice... although maybe it's more appropriate to say she's as beautiful as she is energetic? :lol3: And she DID let Gary do some talking! :flail: :lol3:OMG Thank goodness I only had a cup of coffee today! :crackup:

Here's the bracelet: I am so glad you liked it hun, Kelly makes them - she makes beautiful cat themed jewelry... I asked to make something special for you with our Lazlo's boy name.... so you have him near no matter where you go :heart3:
