DFW dinners in June (and 1 in May)

[JanetC 2]

I'm going to list all the opportunities for bandster socialization. Several of these are compliments of DFW Bandsters (a Yahoo group). Mikey & I have been attending them regularly. They're a fun group. The attendance varies from week to week, but everyone's been really nice.

Basically, with these events included, we have something band related every Sat of the month except the 2nd one. Good times!

It's just NORTH of 114 on Macarthur. Yahoo maps is off, but not too much: the star is just on the wrong side of the highway.

The restaurant was nice. Good meat selections, great adult beverages, fairly quiet, nice comfortable chairs. If you want us to move again, let me know! Also, if the time is getting too late, let me know. 3pm was just a little too early for dinner, and too late for lunch, lol. Though it was nice to be the only folks there!

The image button is gone I'll try to fake it, but I may just end up doing these as attachments. **sigh** Guess it's attachments. One at a time so they show, augh! Ya'll were right, lol, I should have had Randy & Joy move! Still, the contrast wasn't too bad.

[JanetC 2]

Divanita & her daughter.

[JanetC 2]

Mikey & me (thanks MyKdsDad!) Note the pigs jamming in the background, lol.

All of the pics are wonderful! I'm so glad I was able to spend time with some wonderful folks. Of course, special thanks to the great photography; the couples pics are really nice.

[JanetC 2]

You & your daughter are GORGEOUS!! I'm so glad you drug her along!

Courtney wasn't looking forward to coming, but after she met everyone, she couldn't stop talking about how neat everyone was! She is a bit more supportive of LB than she was before.

Thanks for helping me to win her over. She and my Mom are my biggest fans; it would be a tough process without their support.

Howdy folks. We made it to our appointed post over in Weatherford with time to spare. Thanks Mike, for the directions. It went smooth as silk. We were standing on the exit 408 bridge when about 150 bikers came tooling along. Everyone was waving and honking at the crazy people on the bridge with the flag. And some of the bikers did, too. It was great! We made it back to the house about 11:00. 5:30 sure came early.

Janet, the pictures are fantastic! The one of me and Joy was just right to cover up some of the gray hair.....LOL

Randy:

Sounds like you had a really good time. I enjoyed seeing you guys. Your pic is lovely!

[DonnaB 3]

The pictures came out great - good job Janet and Randy!

Glad you made it to your event with no problem Randy, Mike's usually spot-on with directions - I count on him a lot! Randy, how's this color on your eyes? I wouldn't have changed for just anyone - ask Mike, pink is my all time favorite color! Purple comes in somewhere in the top 3 though so, alls well!

Anita, you and your daughter are both lovely women - how proud you must be of your beautiful daughter.

As always it was great to see everyone and I look forward to seeing you all again next month.

[MyKdsDad 1]

Donna, I love it! Burple is MsJoy's favorite! Definitely easier on the eyes. Thank you.

Wow, you guys look like you had a lot of fun! I can't wait until I finish school and get to move to Dallas!! There's not really any band support activities in San Antonio, and Dallas is more fun anyway!! :cake:

Ya'll are all looking great! Keep up the good work!
