Thank you, Carole - for the mention! I am also discovering the joys of Meetup. I just had lunch yesterday with a group of really fun folks & I am loving my 'knitting bee' meetups. With luck, the weather will cooperate & I'll be hiking with yet another group on Wednesday. You've inspired me - kayaking was always fun - I wonder why I don't do that anymore??? LOL I think I may have identified My Next Big Thing with your inspiration! <3
