It was a nice day; great seeing old friends and meeting so many new!!!!
Many thanks are due......
*to all the early arrivals for assisting in snagging some party space
*To everyone who made all the extra efforts to bring such yummy homemade foods (whoever brought those oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip cookies, you're my new best friend)
**Extra thanks to darianis (Tony) for manning the grill getting those burgers through!!! Noone loves hanging over the grill in the heat, and I know for certain that Jim appreciates a break from being the grillmeister.
*To pathfndr for dragging the flag....one of my less favorite tasks, so great big thanks for pulling it around!
*To Jim, for always being the organizer extraordinairre......he really knows how to get a party going!
Also, deepstops and splitlip, I really have to speak up for darianis.........it was his first dive after cert., and I was VERY impressed. He looked more comfortable than I did at 100 dives. Big thumbs up to him and his instructor......................looking forward to lots more dives with him!
