    Jerry and Joyce Sullivan were returning home from their vacation in Hawaii and stopped in Dallas to visit some longtime friends. Since they had to drive within a very few miles of us from the airport to their friends home, a meeting of GardenStew-ers needed to take place.

    We had a great visit this morning I think the waitress was wondering when we would finally leave. They had flown overnight from Hawaii and neither had slept much, in fact Joyce hadn't slept at all and they still had about an hour drive to their friends home...depending on traffic....so we reluctantly let then continue their trip.

    Jerry has a photo of all four of us on his camera. Randy took this one with us facing the sun....not the prettiest view of the woman on the right. :rolleyes:

    I think the lady on the right is quite good looking, Jerry is distinguished, and Joyce is lovely!
    So glad y'all were able to get together.

    I think it's great that you got to meet. It's a small world.

    I can see how it would be difficult to let such a lovely couple go on their way. So glad you all met up and had a great time together.

    Somehow in my mind, I thought Jerry always carried around his chemistry set ready to perform any sort of experiment! :-D
    Lovely photo... and so glad you all got to meet!

    Great meeting of Garden Stewers,..its always so strange meeting someone in the flesh that you only know from posting,..but know them so well from those posts,..your image of their personalities you try to match with the person in the flesh can be so interesting,..i once met up with four forum members from another Website,..two from Utah,..USA,..one from Indiana,..USA and one from England,..we all met up in Spain,..strange mixture of accents,..lol.
