IRIS’ HIGHLIGHTS OF THE SPITE UNION WEEKEND 

DELAWARE, SEPTEMBER 16-18, 2005

*      First to arrive was Shar on Thursday, who managed to survive playing darts with Bo by coming out of it without getting any holes in her face... lol 

*      Camera shy Carol intending to hide from all cameras, not realizing that there would be 500 pictures taken of her anyway during the Union ... lol 

*      The question and answer period with Mari on Friday night, where everyone got out of their systems their problems with their computers and with Spite.  Mari began wondering why she came here in the first place... 

*      The last night for Bo, Jane, Robyn and who knows who else, was spent awake in Josie’s room because they had been thrown out of the pool area. 

*      The 2 times (we were only there two nights) that security came to throw us all out of the pool because the guests of the hotel needed some sleep… lmao 

*      Bo’s face when she received her new Dell, after she thought that her present was just the collage of pictures. Yes, Bo cried and so did we... an emotional moment there…

*      Iris giving all these people Salsa lessons and not one of them getting it right, so she finally had to dance with Bibi so they could watch. 

*      The discovery of our new singing stars, Josie and Vicki and Bo -- what a concert!  

*      Alice looking for her oxygen tank to see if it would help her win the tourney but realizing everybody had already found out that she was not Bo’s grandmother, she was not 96, and she does not use oxygen except in normal air for breathing... lol 

*      Holly trying to organize the tours of the group so we could learn some history and discovering that everybody just wanted to hang out and drink. What an uneducated group Holly! lol 

*      Alice riding in the Jag (that Holly rented) and having to hold  the front door that somehow got broken while they were down at the mall…and Holly trying to go slow on the EXPRESSWAY… lol 

*      Janny’s happy face (and glowing complexion) all through the weekend and everyone wondering why she was so happy, we still are… lol 

*      Finding out Shar was the aunt of the most famous Canadian, yes, Michael J Fox.  

*      Val’s face when trying to win her game against Alice and not being able to get the right cards, and ending up playing the longest game in history... (yawn) 

*      Miss Vicki’s face when she realized she had beaten Jane in the first round… 

*      Robyn’s face when she got the Don Q rum from Iris (a longtime dream she had) and quietly having it with Coke in a corner of Josie’s room so no one would ask her to share her bottle. 

*      Jane and her T-shirts, which are such a beautiful remembrance of our Union and trying to get people to PAYYYYYY……LOL 

*      Brenda going around hugging everyone thinking it all might be a dream and not really being there. 

*      Everybody on the first day trying to figure out who was who and guessing most of the time and lol... being right! 

*      Mari’s car license plate... yes, it says SPITENET! 

*      All the happy faces when we arrived, the loving hugs, the wonderful dancing, the wonderful playing, the wonderful singing (those that did), the stories, the joke telling, and last of all…  the very sad faces when we were leaving.

 WHAT A WONDERFUL, LOVING AND REALLY AWESOME WEEKEND, LET’S DO IT AGAIN NEXT YEAR!

Iris' guapo husband, who was nice enough to model
