BUMP from a Fox Valley FReeper!

Have to echo the comments so far. Thank you for organizing it (much better you than me-VBG).

This is now the second time I've met others at a FReeper gathering, and I must say that I am most amazed at how comfortable I have felt right from the get-go. It's not like we don't know each other, as some of us have a tendency to bare our souls to each other in writing at this place.

Being a recovering liberal, I came away with the distinct feeling that there is a core of Americans who realize that our government has strayed from what it was intended to be by our founding fathers. Many of that group hang out right here at FR. I don't know if we'll see a return to the constitutional republic they envisioned, but if we stick together, spread the word, and encourage each other, there will always be hope - even if our children's children have to continue our work.

I had a marvelous time last night, you guys. The food was very good, they had Sprecher on tap (one of the only things I'll drink that I don't make myself), and it was heart-warming to meet all of you in person.

I sure wish I was there! It would be great to meet fellow FReepers from WI, even though I just signed up. When and where will the next get-together be held?

WIMom, thanks for organizing such a fun get together.

For those who don't know, the Mine Shaft is a fairly huge restaurant. So when I arrived (early, for pre-fish libations) and asked where the FReepers were gathered, the girl at the desk said, "Oh, it's that really good looking group of people, with all the patriot garb on." Or something like that.

To all those who missed it but have been posting and lurking for awhile on FR, you have more in common with us than you do with many of your own relatives. Come on down!

Glad you guys got together-- hope I can join you someday.

Paging Mr. Spunkets....Mr. Spunkets. Those of us who have grown fond of you would like to know that you made it home on your long journey after our little suare. Give us a ping - let us know your still sittin' up and chewin' your own food (sorry, I couldn't resist. Whenever people ask me how I'm doing, I usually say, "Still sittin' up and chewin' my own food. Hey, it beats the alternative!")

;^D
