A great time was had by all at the Tampa Bay area freepers dinner held at a New Port Richey restaurant. Good thing we had a semi-private room as the air was thick with animated freeptalk and loud laughter (especially at a certain end of the table !). Diners included M. Kehoe, Mr. and Mrs. Seek the Truth, Mr. and Mrs. Gonzo, Bob Ireland, Quinton Ireland, Scottteng, Rice Bug and MinuteGal....plus Matchett P-I, the Florida Central Chapter Leader who drove in from the Orlando area to join the gathering of Eagles here on the central gulf coast. A table prize of the hilarious Clinton Legacy Cookbook was won by the Gonzos. This book of great freeper recipes includes many funny anecdotes dotting its pages about the Clintons. The prize was donated by freeper resident chef and noted author of best-selling cookbooks, Carlo3b.

We really had a great time. After dinner, the troops adjourned to Casa MinuteGal for some dessert, coffee and adult beverages.

Geez, sorry I missed you guys. I live in Hudson.
I have fibromyalgia, and Saturday was a really rough day, so I probably couldn’t have come even if I had known about it. Just the same, sounds like I missed a good time.
Florida Freepers, always check the Florida state forum regularly. The notice of this dinner was posted several times over a period of weeks. Y'all don't want to miss any important events plus the exquisite pleasure of our mutual company, LOL!

BTTT Florida FReepers!!!
..it's been almost 8 years since I stood on the street corner with you, Gonzo, Moonman, Peter Kessler, oldglory, Matchett, etc.
Yipes, where did the time go!?
I know where Janice was sitting!!!
Everytime we drive through there, I remember the 'place' of our Freep.
It was good too see you Jan. It has been a long time, too long.
Leni, thanks for everything. You are a sweetheart.
Gonzo, give me that cookbook, it's MINE.
It's good to see your moniker again Peter. Long time no see. What, the 2004 election?
Great to see you again Bob, and it was nice to meet Quinton. He's a great guy. Needs to be a registered FReeper.
If I left anyone out, I'm sorry.
Thanks to all of you for not mentioning that waitress. Saved my bacon it did.
