I am so happy for you, it looks like you had a lot of fun. I love the pictures, you look all so nice .
I really wish I could have been there! I am sure my fiance and I would have had a lot of fun with you guys

 

[Candy]

Oh, it was really nice meeting everyone and putting face to the name! Abel, too, enjoyed the food and good company...nice people, you tort loving folks. His Dad who also owns DT couldn't make it this time but I'm sure they'll want to come next year.
I chucked at Candy and I having a matching jewelry of tortoise. HA! Great minds think alike! (sorry you are cut off in the pix here.)
Micheal--I came home to check the toe nails of Penelope. I think she is definitely a girl! I'll post her hindleg pix soon. Thanks for the tip.

xoxo,
Mado

I'm sorry Mado but I can't take credit for Robyn's great tortoise jewerly (I wish I had some). The picture is of you and Robyn not me. I did have Michael's wife take one of all the girls, but I'm going to have to have someone help me post it (since I'm not good at that yet).

Thanks Stace we would have loved it too if you were there. My boys are very tall, but since mom is 5' 10" and dad is 6' 3" I guess there's no question why.

Candy do you have a photobucket account? It's easy to post them from www.photobucket.com or http://tinypic.com/
If you still have difficulty Just give me a pm.

OOPS! Sorry, I meant to say Robyn! Thanks for the correction, Candy. It was confusing to remember everyone by names aka nicknames on the forum LOL~

 

[Stazz]

Wow Candy, I definitely understand now, your boys are destined to be tall. I'm all of 5'4 hahahaha.

Hopefully I can be there next year !!!!!!!!! We will have to see

 

[jlyoncc1]

Glad you guys had fun! Maybe we will have to plan an East coast version!

 

[Crazy1]

Dee I think that's a wonderful Idea. Then we could see all our East Coast family, and hear of your escapades

 

[purpod]

Hiya Dee ~

Yeah, I agree with Robbie, that is an xllnt idea! It is so much fun to meet the folks, and sometimes their tort's too! I must admit to spending just as much time (if not more) with Lil' Foot than with the peeps during the 1st Meeting, lol.

Should we have been able to make it, I'm sure most everyone woulda been floored at the height of my 17 year old son, Jon. He now stands at 6'4", but even when he was 15, he was as tall as I, and I'm 5'10"!

LOL. Anyways, yeah, sure bummed I missed the 2nd meeting, but you can be sure this purpod peep will be at the 3rd Annual Meeting!

Looking forward to pictures!!

My son finally came home from his girlfriends house so here's the picture of us girls. If you click on the picture it gets bigger.
Left to right: Robyn, Candy, Dawna and Mado.

Great pic Candy. glad you got it posted. But what I want to know is why am I always the big one in the front! LOL. I thought the hefty ones were suppose to be in the back so you shinnies could hide my girth (think it sounded funnier in my head).

I thought you looked great in that picture. My son actually said that I looked like a giant compared to you guys. Nice son huh?

 

[Isa]

What a nice picture .
I really love it, you are all beautiful. I know I already said it a couple of times but I really wish I could have been there to meet you.

 

[galvinkaos]

Robyn you look great. Candy you just seem taller because Robyn, Mado and I are only 5'2" to 5'3". We are vertically challenged but not too short (our feet reach the ground )

Dawna

 

[purpod]

LOL, just take Garfields stance: "I'm not overweight, I am under tall!"

And I think the photo makes all of you look lovely ~ wonderful genuine smiles give the viewer a smile too!

Blessings,
Purpod

 

[Madortoise]

Well said, Purpod and Dawna.
I've been 5' 2-1/2" all my life, and I always was proud of that extra 1/2" if you know what I mean. It's confirmed that the tort lovers come in all sizes and shapes!! Thanks for sharing the photo.

 

[Crazy1]

I truly am comfortable in my skin or I wouldn't have been the one in the front. I enjoyed the time spent with new friends, and Candy I don't think your too tall nor Mado too short. I'm the 5ft 3in one and my sister is only 4'11" and she said she has always felt tall, especially around kids. Plus her clothes are cheaper she buys them in the kids department. LOL I agree Tort lovers do come in all sizes and shapes so Mado you said it well.

 

[purpod]

Truly a neat group of peeps!

Smiles to all,
Purpod
