the warmest day of our year is probably not far from the coldest day of your year....depending on where you live in Alabama. I've lived here 17 years and it got up to 86 degrees once, and that was enough for me. Anything over 32 and a lot of our residents are wearing flip-flops, shorts and tank tops - with winter coats over the top.

Haven't heard from anyone else, so maybe after Christmas is better for everyone. I could do it during the first three weeks of the month then I'm out of town.

Something must have given me away, (maybe my squeal of delight??) and he said, wait a minute, where are you going to meet? I had to fess up and tell him Alaska. Trust me, it was worth the look on his face of astonishment :shock:.

So, sorry, won't be able to meet up with you anytime soon. Would absolutely love to though.

Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas from Possum Trot, Kentucky.

Oh, that is hilarious, would have loved to be a fly on the wall to see his expression!!!

Meeting for coffee in Anchorage

If so, post or pm me about preferred day of the week and whether day/evening/either to help in setting up a time. I'm thinking maybe a Starbucks or Title Wave in the meeting room but if you have another recommendation, let us know. Would love to put a face to a name.

I would love to Kate, easy for me, I live in Eagle River. I'm in the phonebook and that's my name Dolly Caswell, but you'll have to catch me next week because I'll be gone to Thailand Dec 11. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I live in Seward and would enjoy meeting other board members. I am the proud new owner of the quilt store here. So anyone who. Ones to my area stop by and say hi. Coffee is always on. Sunday or Monday would be best for me right now.

looks like we have three or four yes's with a lot of "wishes". Squires1042 - I met you at your shop when I was down for the guild retreat in the fall. Smurfsmom - hope the application process results in a "yes" so you can join us sometime. Dolly - when will you return from Thailand?

If we slide till January, the Mondays are 6 - 13 - 20(MLK Day) and 27. Would Sunday 12th or Monday 13th work for the Yes's? either day about 2 PM at Starbucks on Dimond/Old Seward.

Oh - I would love to join you but if I go back to Alaska with hubby. He says he is going to stay. So I will pass for now.
