Well, here goes.
Thank you all so much for the warm welcome. You all are the best, there's no doubt about that. I hadn't seen this thread until Bob called me this afternoon and told me about it.
Yes Gary, I was going for the 'Longest Lurker Award', did I get it?? I'm sure you'll know the answer.
I really enjoy just reading what everyone has to say and always enjoy everyone's pictures they post.
And yes Nancy, you were right, I spell my name Ilene.
I'm exhausted after this long post so now I'll go back to lurking for another year.
Professonial Lurking is a tough job you know!
Thanks again to all my dear friends I've met here. I'm looking forward to our next GTG.
I'll see you in North Georgia soon,
Ilene
