Northeast Discus Meeting, Fall 2010

[brewmaster15]

Hi Everyone!

What a great get together....Carrie, I and the kids are all dragging a bit today... I think it hit me last night about 12:30 while Carrie and I and Evelyn were sitting around the table that I was dead beat tired.

I really enjoyed seeing everyone again and it was great to meet some new Hobbyists as well. My sincere thanks to all who brought food, beverages and supplies..We had enough to feed a small Army... and special thanks to Rod for bringing some top notch cigars ...Finally, I can't say my thanks enough to Mary, The cake she made and decorated for Rod, Evelyn and Ashay was absolutely stunning!

We had plenty of social time, followed by dinner , then retired outside by a campfire to convene an informal meeting...I think we accomplished alot and we'll be working on some fun stuff this next year...more on that another time.

I have photos to share

Thanks again Al and Carrie for the great get together. Missing the fishroom, people, Brew's brew and the great food already! Looking forward to the next one and I hope the people who were unable to make it this time are able to do so next time.

Alok.

Al thanks again for a wonderful get together yesterday. Your Wife is a doll and your Kids are so well behaved, they don't make a peep. All the food was delicious, wine was great, awesome cigars, and it was great to finally put faces to the names and meet everyone. I will definitely look forward to the next get together. Hopefully we can get the rest of the Jersey/Philly crew to attend.

Wow, how long was I gone??? Everything changed while I was on the road. Looks good guys. The drive was long but it is worth it every time. Thank you Al and Carrie for putting on another great meeting & your hospitality and thanks to everyone for the great food and drink. I will post my pics once I get them loaded up and once I am done the first round of water changes....

A big thankyou to Mary for that beautiful cake.....you have a great talent there.

The cake was beautiful. And delicious. Al's fishroom was awesome as always. Glad to see some L. Dorsigera (personal favorite!). Did I mention the cake?

Glad to meet everybody and finally get my feet wet again! The white butterfly and PB are doing great, munching on some of Al's beefheart mix as I post this..

Thank Becky and Ethan for keeping Carson busy all day. Didn't see much of him all day. our paths only crossed in your fish room and when it was time to eat.

Al, when I got home last night, I was knocked out! I can only imagine how tired you must have been after preparing for the meeting, getting all the orders ready, running around hosting, and the many other things behind the scenes that went into this meet. Thank you, and your lovely family for having us. And thanks to all that came and made this NEDA meeting another success!

What a great time was had by all. I would like to thank Carrie and Al for opening up their home to us again. The food was excellent, and it was great talking with everyone again. I would also like to thank Mary for making that awsome cake for Rod, Evelyn, and Ashay. I am so happy with the fish that came home with me. Their doing great, and their eating like little piggys.

Till next time,
Patrick
