More on Fun Day

[Guest guest]

Well, I have recuperated a little, but not enough! When I left today I

was totally exhausted. There was so much to see and hear and

learn.

Let me see if I can give you a quick picture of what happened.

Kay Brown announced that Melody had come down with her. Then

Melody steps out from a hallway into our meeting room, dressed in

her camoflage outfit, creating quite a stir among the members. She

was so cute! Melody then told a little bit about our Battle of the

Bulge contest, then loudly yelled " Tennnnnn hut Commando

Grandma. On your feet!!!!!!!!!!! " . I quickly jumped to attention and

snapped off what I considered to be a smart salute. She

commanded me to come forward to receive my award. For winning

the contest I was given a case decorated with camoflage on the

outside, containing military " dog tags " , military watch, camoflage

keyring and wrist band. Then since I am such an " exercise-phobe "

she gave me a prisoner teddy bear to remind me to keep up my

exercise. And then since it was a TexasTops loop contest she also

gave me a Texas charm. She still doesn't know that I collect Texas

shapes, so this was really nice! All of these were very nice. Oh, and

since I can't go to SRD, she gave me an SRD button ahead of time.

Kay Brown was telling the leaders that we need to shake things up

a bit in our programs. I think it was at this point that Melody

presented me my weight division top loser award. I was really

flabbergasted at this one! A beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers in a

really pretty vase. This woman knows how to coordinate things. The

vase was clear with red hearts on it. Our meeting was theme was

" Have a Heart " and the room was decorated with hearts everywhere,

big hearts on the walls, little heart foil cut-outs sprinkled around on

the table tops, everyone got a refrigerator magnet with a heart on it,

a little card on the table also with a little poen or saying, etc.

Everywhere you looked there were hearts. And then here was

Melody with the heart vase! She is tooooooo much!

There is so much more to write, but I just cannot think of it all right

now. It is still swirling in my mind. I will probably dream about it all

night.

Melody and I got to talk, but not nearly enough! I hope to see her

again soon.

It was a very nice day. I have a new friend.

Thank you for everything, Melody!
