Title: well=met, part II
*
mood: cheery
*
Point of Explanation:
The HamFam is a diner in
these parts; HamFam is
short for Hamilton Family...
it isn't really named after the
Hamiltons. It's named after
the street it's on.
*
The day was hot & sunny but
comfortable. The parking was
tight because they're adding on
to the HamFam @ this moment.
Sunflowerkat was the first to
find me; Floralilia was not far
behind. Mumsy/Dancer was a
bit late because she decided to
get a better look at the town.
[If you ever travel here, be
prepared to find roads that lead
nowhere & signs that don't mean
what they say. It's how we trap
visitors & turn them into long
time residents.] Lunch!
Flo had the stuffed pepper.
Kat & Mumsy each had the
broccoli & cheese omelet.
I had the chicken breast sand=
wich with fries. Dessert!
Mumsy had rice pudding;
Flo had tapioca. I had the
corn chowder~albeit as a
precursor, not dessert per se.
(Logic slip, that^)
Then, we droned on & on about
camp & kids & catholic school.
And about a hundred other
funny things. Some of which
will no doubt find their way into
print. The waitress & the busboy
were nice and efficient...
{Advertising copy: "No finer
diner then the dam hamfam,
ma'am!" OR maybe in iambic
pentameter}
*
I am suddenly reminded of the
Pink Floyd song that ends,"How
can you have any pudding if you
don't eat your meat?!" Is that
how it goes?
*
We walked around the lake...
more a duck=pond actually And
sat togethre on the banks of the
creek for fotografs. Sunflower
had the good camera & set up
the shots~she has the eye for it.
Beauty & beauty, i bet they're
good shots. Then we trundled
back to the searing green=ghost
for car=pix. That is, my car had
a good time @ the Confluence
as well~altho she was hotter
than hot 2 lean against. Don't
do thisat home! Shoot your
auto when it's cold & dark OR
shady & moving.
*
Enduring impressions:
>Mumsy is still a wild woman.
>Flo is off=the=hook funny.
>Sunflower is just as pretty
and perky as her Glow.
>I am a fairly good tourguide
once you find the place i try
to get you to.

Pictures! As they arrife!
Meetings! Fun & werthwhile!
Hyperbole! Anyone can do it.

Still basking in smiley feelings from Confluence II. I love you all! Excellent advice that I hope all in j-land will take...Anyone CAN do it!
hyperbole= hah!
It was another event close to my cyberheart-- oh, yeah, and my real one too! No, Slac--nature is wild; mumsy was just put amuck in it!
thanks for a great place to be late to! Remember Flo's credo: 'we will not stop til all the diners in Allentown have been visited!'
there'll be a book, then the movie... then the pultizer, I'd say.
smoochez, of gourse!
~~mumsy-dancer
the painting--so true to life! It is precious!
{the Centre of the Universe is variably...certain
diners on the East Coast} I know I'm still smiling.
Appreciata all=to! SO~bounce already
Well, you can just paint me SPEECHLESS with envy!!
(leaning on the green ghost, of course)
But how many people have gone on the Route 66 tour with you?
I will always hold that trip so dear in my heart....
Yours truly,

the meeting of friends, and of minds, over corn chowder and puddings....some people don't know what they are missing...
Agreement all=to>>

the morro~~still processing
Especialness of Confluence2
smoochy smiles ~Author
For some reason, I'm finding it more interesting to learn what everyone chose for their lunch and dessert than I have been to see photos or hear about the meeting itself. LOL Everyone thinks I'm crazy when I order sweet potatoes for my dessert at restaurants that offer it as a side item. What can I say - I like sweet potatoes! And they're sweet, right? They have sugar? It's not like I'm ordering corn chowder or something. ::wink:: OK. I just wanted to pop in and say congrats on meeting such wonderful friends! AoL-J has been such a blessing to so many of us. :)
