24.

how it came together:

denise knows betsy from childhood. betsy knows rita from boston and denise met her when she lived in boston. betsy knows jessica from working in new jersey, and denise met her at betsy's wedding shower in new jersey. betsy knows tia through ryan, and denise met tia at betsy's wedding. basically, betsy pulled all of us together.

special thanks to tia for providing luxurious mountain comfort at her family's cabin. gustavo saw a picture of the cabin and said...."uh, that's no cabin!!"

the trip can be summed in 2 words (25 things and whitey) and these 2 videos:

DENISE!! This is fabulous!

Over the years of random gatherings, brief meetings, and, well, blogging, I knew I'd enjoy our time together. But, I was pleasantly surprised to have fallen in love with each one of you. Betsy knows good people. She is good people, so no shock there. CAN'T wait til the next get together...Emily in the mix.

Whitey...out.

Denise, denise, denise!!! this is fabulous....what a great job! i love, love the videos.

the fact that watching these choked me up says it all. Jessica said it beautifully, and denise captured and blogged it in a wonderful way. i don't know what to say. i love each one of you and can't wait til we can all get together again...i'm beyond glad to know betsy and, in turn, come to know all of you. i said it at the cabin and i'll say it again here: i love and will always love Galeton, PA. the weekend is a favorite gift of mine.

Peace.....

....and LOTS of dj scratching! "..put the needle on the record, put the needle on the record, put the needle on the record when the song beats go like this..." (um, i just had to google that cuz i had the lyrics played up as "and the drum beat goes like this" - can i somehow reserve the right to change it up, switch it up, flip it up, flow-hip it up and drop the beat?? prolly not, but hell yeeeeeaaaaaah -i'm gonna! :)

denise, FABULOUSO!!!!!!!

i had a tremendously wonderful weekend, i can't say that enough. i totally had tears in my eyes watching the video you put together with the song and the pics of the weekend. as for the video of us showing off our moves.....rita wins the prize, i love the whole DJ thing.

again, i miss all of you so much already. next time emily you will have to make it, unless you are invited to sail the bvi's again.

tia - i've watched it about five times today. showed it to a woman i work with and i teared up?!? i will be watching it often as well. in fact - i have already bookmarked the post so i can click right to it in my toolbar whenever i need/want to see it. the song was the absolute perfect pick.
