80. I've never met MAHNY, but spent a lot of time with ThomCat

in NY last April when I was there for the march. You're right that he's very nice! I can't believe it's been over a year already!

I have to agree, about the guys anyway!

The food is good.......

We've stayed there before, and enjoyed it a lot!

I had a Caesar salad with salmon......so damn good!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

18. My dear Beaverhausen!

I'm glad you like the pics!

I'm letting it grow...

No idea where it'll stop!

Thanks for the compliments.....:hug:

[Karenca]

11. That looks like Queens, NY -

Are you in Queens?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

20. My dear Karenca!

I believe we're in Queens....

The hotel is the Courtyard by Marriot.....

I was told this is in Jamaica?

We're not far from JFK...

It's a nice hotel....all nonsmoking, and now with wireless hookups in every room!

:thumbsup: :hi:

[Karenca]

25. i knew it!

'Cause I live in Manhattan, and there are NO parking lots (I saw the cars in the pic).
I've never even seen a street sign like that.

Well, you have a most wonderful time in Europe! I've not yet been to Germany,
but like you, I've been to London - and I love it so.

[rug]

12. Where are the garbage trucks?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear rug!

What garbage trucks?

:grr:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. Damn, duplicate post...nt

[Sanity Claws]

35. The ones that will wake you tomorrow at 6 AM

Just joking
I grew up in Queens and I figured that's where you were from the photos.

[Karenca]

38. ......

I grew up in Queens as well. That's how I knew immediately from the pics --

[Miss Marmelstein]

16. You look like you were having a great time!

The tree looks lovely...I hope you have a wonderful vacation!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

27. My dear wildhorses!

Oh, thanks, sweetie!

I am of the firm opinion that liberals tend to be good-looking!

Thanks for the very kind words about my hair, sweetie.....:blush:


:hug:

[JackBeck]

23. I'm sorry I couldn't make it, Peggy.

Now that I live in New Jersey, JFK is soo far away.

Selfishly, I thought you were staying in Manhattan.

But JFK makes sense, since it's our International airport.

I hope you had a great time and have a safe and exciting trip.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

28. My dear JackBeck...

I am so sorry too that you couldn't make it...

We had such a good time....

One of these days, baby....one of these days!

We did have a great time, and tomorrow is the next leg ....to London!

:bounce:

[ThomCat]

42. That was a fun time.

But it was unfortunately, the shortest and smallest meetup. :(

If we get another chance we'll have to spend a bit more time and make sure a few more people can join us. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

47. It was too brief....alas!

ButI know all our efforts made it sooo worthwhile....

It was wonderful to see you in person, my dear ThomCat!

[Nicole]

43. Great pics!

Look at all the smiling faces. :)

Of course I think you had the biggest smile, surrounded by men. You lucky lady. :P

[CaliforniaPeggy]

48. Thanks!

It was a really good time......

I was very lucky indeed!

[Pool Hall Ace]

49. Okay, why aren't the pics showing up for me?

I'm feeling left out here. :cry:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

56. My dear Pool Hall Ace...

I have no idea why you can't see them.....

I'm sorry...:hug:

[Haole Girl]

Everyone looks so happy...and the blossoms are pretty too. :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

57. My dear KC2!

It is always my pleasure!

Glad you enjoyed them, sweetie......

Thank you!

:hug:

[huskerlaw]

52. Aaaah!

I almost missed this thread!

Thanks for the pics, Peggy...you all look great!

However, the scenery outside the restaurant looks downright suburban...you sure you're in NYC? ;)


:hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

58. My dear huskerlaw!

Thanks for your very kind words!

And yes...

It was in NYC! But in Jamaica.....a suburb!

We were quite near JFK...

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

53. sorry i couldnt make it you guys.... i am just OVERWHELMED with school

[CaliforniaPeggy]

60. My dear lioness....

We were sorry too that you couldn't make it, lioness....

ThomCat told us that you're working full time, plus going to school full time......

That's very tough to do, sweetie....... :hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

61. thanks peggy, and i just moved in with lisa last weekend...

there are boxes upon boxes in the apt...

:hug:

are you going through NYC on your way back?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

71. We are....but...

We will only be there for less than 24 hours, alas.....

Another time, sweetie...

[Dude_CalmDown]

54. Looks just like the picture I took yesterday morning.

Great minds think alike.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

62. My dear Dude!

Oooh, your pic is gorgeous too!

Do you know what type of tree it is?

:hi:

[Dude_CalmDown]

75. Cherry Tree as far as I know

[DFW]

55. Nice pics!

Someday, someone will tell me how to post pictures on this board! LOL

[CaliforniaPeggy]

63. My dear DFW!

Thanks for your kind words!

Now, as to posting pictures: You need a photo hosting service, such as Photobucket.

Get yourself a membership (you can have a freebie, or you can pay and then the ads go away, and there's unlimited storage space!)

YOu will see a page where you can add pictures.

Just keep clicking on OPEN until you get to the pictures you want to load.....

And the program will do the rest...

I recommend that you downsize them...full size is really too big for DU.....

Good luck! :hi:

[Left Is Write]

59. You all are so lucky to have gotten together with each other.

What fun! Thanks for sharing the pictures. :)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

64. My dear Left Is Write!

It did take some work, but it was really worth it!

Glad you came by to see the pics, sweetie...:hug:

[DFW]

65. OK, let's see if this works:

[DFW]

66. Or, maybe like this?

<>

[DFW]

67. OK, maybe I'm too old to figure this out! LOL n/t

[DFW]

68. or this?

<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

[DFW]

69. OK, now I have the pic, but how do I get rid of the text debris?

I feel like I'm in Kindergarten again! LOL

Anyway, that's me and a friend from the Washington press corps.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

70. That's a very nice pic!

You may have clicked on the "HTML tag" instead of "IMG Code" that is under the pic. Next time, try clicking on the "IMG Code."

That should get rid of the debris...

[DFW]

72. It's 1 AM here, so that's on tomorrow's agenda

I have an 8:00 AM flight down to Munich, so I'll give that one
a whirl when I get back up here tomorrow evening.

Thanks for the tip!!

[DFW]

73. Peggy--OK, I couldn't t resist, and it works!!

Thanks!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

77. You are a quick study!

I needed telephone instructions.......

Great job, and you look fabulous next to the great Dr. Dean!


Glad I could help!


:woohoo: :woohoo:

[REDKING]

74. Hiya darlin.............

[CaliforniaPeggy]

76. My dear Rory!

How nice of you to come by ...

Glad you liked my pics!

We've been here in England since Friday, and tomorrow we fly off to Prague...

:hug:

[DFW]

78. I told you this before, but.......

You will fall in love with Prague.

Be forewarned!!!!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

79. My dear DFW!

Consider me forwarned!

I am more than ready for loving that city....

Thank you.....:hug:

[DFW]

81. Just to whet your appetite.........
