Looking for folks to connect with from the northern suburbs, etc. I'm in Champlin but if we have enough folks maybe a rotation of locations to accommodate the variety of locations would be the way to go. I love a little coffee shop (can't drink it but love the aroma). Any thoughts?

Hey, I'm in Andover! Which coffee shop?

I'm currently in Burnsville, but we are moving north this summer. I'm in the north/western suburbs all the time. I'd love to meet up with other people :-)

Your neighbor, what's up with coffee? Let's do this!

[GardenLady 9]

I've no preference on location - just thinking that a place that's accustomed to folks sitting for a while would be nice. Maybe - dare I even say it - Denny's or Baker's Square off Round Lake? They certainly are used to such behavior :-)

[MsSilky 6]

Denny's or Baker's Square off round lake would work great for me!

I'm in Golden Valley, getting sleeved 6/19 would love to connect with some locals. Have car love to drive, name time and place.

I am open anytime, thinking Maple Grove is a neutral place between champlin and golden valley. How does the Olive Garden sound. We could do appetizers - not that expensive if we share it. Or even Soup. I'm flexible with date and time right now.

[BladeFox 235]

Time and date.

[debradebra 1]

I'm pretty flexible too. Olive Garden sounds good. Wednesday lunch or dinner? I work Th, F, Sa nights 7p-7am, but Tues night or Thurs lunch would work too.

[GardenLady 9]

Olive Garden in Maple Grove sounds like a plan. I'm a M-F first shift person so evenings or weekends work for me...How's next Wednesday night (the 18th) sound? Say 6:00? Does that give everyone time to get done with the day and get there?

_{I am having Gastric Sleeve surgery on August 27 in Mexico. I am looking to join a local group for support. I live in Woodbury.}

[debradebra 1]

That sounds good, night before my surgery so I will be dining light!

LOL, and you can see how much you will be able to eat afterwards! I had my VSG on May 12th and ate at the Olive Garden tonight - just got home as a matter of fact. Let's see - less than one half of a "taster plate" skewer of chicken (so maybe the equivalent of 1 1/2 chicken mcnuggets?) and one cheese ball - done! and worth every yummy bite!

Alright everyone it's a date. Wednesday, June 18, @ 6pm at the Olive Garden in Maple Grove. A table for 4 or more. Ask for 'baby' (as in baby sleeve). See you all then!
