Greetings all! Wow . . . what a weekend and I know all of us leads can’t wait to share! Wow! We had little little down time but did have an opportunity to see that the message board and virtual CHA crop on-line was rock’in! Yeah!
Can’t wait to share about the Fiskateer dinner, the people I finally got to meet face to face, the fun . . . all of it! Because you are all a part of it!
I had a little trouble getting to CHA . . . we boarded our plane late, then sat on the plane for about 1 1/2 hours and then de-boarded (is that a word? Is now I guess huh?) . . . waited for another plane to come in and finally boarded (almost didn’t make it as the pilot and attendants were almost past the legal limit - time wise).
- Original scheduled flight . . . 2 p.m.
- Actual take off time . . . approx. 9 p.m.
- Hotel arrival time . . . 5:15 a.m.
- Experience and adventure . . . . priceless
But I hit the ground running and I can’t wait to share more. Just have to catch up on a little sleep. I also have a little goodie package for one winner so stay tuned. I’ll be uploading some photos and such.
Thanks for all the ways you all rocked the board this weekend. You are awesome and I have a feeling you’re going to have new Fisk-a-sisters and Fisk-a-brothers this weekend!
Hugs . . . Cheryl

July 21st, 2008 at 12:25 pmWell, since you touched this touchy topic…my fight home was a great joy as well. I was scheduled to board at 3:20, finally boarded at 4:15, sat on the runway for 2 1/2 hours, flight for just under 2 hours (rerouted due to weather), drove home for 2 hours and walked into my home a couple of minutes before midnight.
However, I did come home with a lot of great memories and I can’t wati to SHARE them all with you. I’m a little tired, but I can’t wait to do it all over again!

I had such a great time at the virtual crop. I had never done a virtual crop before or a challenge or a chat. It so soooo fun. I was definitely in a Fiska-Frenzy.

As bad as it seemed no wonder they say that GOOD things come from bad things….you had a great time and the memories that you have were well worth the wait. You had some time to reflect on all your happenings, the people you encountered, the joy you shared and the look on peoples faces as you were sharing the goods…..priceless as you said. So see GREAT things come from bad experiences…..Keep on smiling
Thanks for Sharing
Blessings
{Peggy} #4129
P.S. Heres a BIG OLe` Fiska Hug for you and for all you experienced!
