Sorry Ann, I know it's awfully frustrating but we can't put names to faces on the Internet.

You know the list of members who attended don't you?

John took these pictures so he isn't in them, can you guess some of us from the Picture Me contest?

Here's the list for anyone else.

Davimad (Never heard of her)

Lillian
Liz
Kazza
Rose (Duiveltje)
Mette
DKGiz (Don't know who he is)

Lutz
Inger (Salin)
Gunnar (Inger's hubby)

It looks like everyone had a really good time. The restaurant looks nice too and get a load of that white stretch limo! You guys were styling!

Hallo Lutz,

Nice to see you back. How was Dublin? I took a walk trhough Belfast and that was really nice.

And for the ones who wants to know. I am the one with the white T-shirt near the Limo.

Good one Rose (She-Devil)

I can't believe it's all over, a week today at this time, I was running around the airport looking for our first arrivals.

Glad you recognised me Cathy, didn't think anyone would since I've changed so much this past year.

I'll try to get some more pictures posted, if anyone else would like to do it, feel free.

Btw Sharon, the restaurant is very good and our meals were delicious.
Royalty couldn't have better treatment, I think the gang would agree.

This time last week it was just beginning! I wish it was last Friday again today and we could do it all again

Here's the fantastic view that Auntie Mo and John wake up to everyday from their patio! There are also some beautiful mountains just to the left that are awesome!

That's me and Kazz down on the floor - shaking our booties

Beautiful view. Love the chin whiskers, Lillian and Kazz!

I have the same two on my front patio.

L and K, Huh ? ? ? ? Now, let me see, who on earth could you be? ? ? ?

Well, obviously one of you must be Lutzy, and the other . . . hummm, (think, think, think)
just a minute (scratching head)

ahhhhh ! ! ! ! Got it

I know who you are (big smile on face)

I didn't realize you were there too, Kiki.

I knew I recognized you, just as soon as I saw your white T-shirt ! ! ! ! !

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 1:05 am

I believe that's you and Kaz, Lillian.

Am I right?

Cat · Post by **Cat** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 1:37 am

It is nice to see some pics from the convention! Looks like everyone had a great time and sounds like some lifetime friends have been made!

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 12:31 pm

Yes Donna, we had a terrific weekend and everyone got on well together.

You will see by my other thread 'ANNOUNCEMENT' just how well some of us got on. I have acquired a new son and daughter in law through the convention, dearie me what have I let myself in for?

Btw folks, that pic isn't Kaz and Lilo. They were two girls who spoke to us in the restaurant and someone took a snap. Kaz has long red hair and Lilo is bald.

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:00 pm

Mo you are so much fun. As all ways.
Have to get in a new supply of depends.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:03 pm

I like to make people laugh Cathy, sorry I've not being doing that recently.

Hope this is me back to my normal daft self.

the cat · Post by **the cat** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:07 pm

Being a mom. Makes things dif.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 1:21 pm

Thought you couldn't teach an old dog new tricks?

I'll have to learn fast Cathy.

Wonder if I'll be an interfering Mum in law.

I still think they're Lutz and Kiki

I don't think so. I find if they don't tell me. I don't say anything.

One time my Daughter told me some thing.
And I didn't talk to to son-in-law for a long time.
Them the stupid hen said, Y don't you like my hubby.
I told her, don't you ever tell me any thing bad about him again.
there married 29 yrs now.

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 2:06 pm

Come to think of it Annie, Kiki could have been there in disguise. Hmmmm.

Enjoyed that one Cathy, good for you.

SharonM · Post by **SharonM** » Mon Aug 29, 2005 2:07 pm

You all are a riot!

Glad to see that all of you are back, safe and sound and that you had such a wonderful time. The pictures are great. Look at all the casks piled one on top of the other. Looks like you are having a marvelous time with all those smiles. Glad to have you back home, though.

I've just spent the last 40 minutes watching the "Northern Ireland Wonderland Convention" video

Poops & Co. you did a fab job of editing and adding such funny captions - it had me laughing out loud! The music was brilliant too. I loved the end song - it was beautiful and made me cry actually

I just wanted to say that it brought back WONDERFUL memories of the fantastic weekend I spent with you guys! It also made me feel really sad and made me realise how much I missed you and I am so glad that I had the chance to meet you all.

It is so bizarre when I tell people "Oh I went to a convention in Northern Ireland and stayed in a strangers house and met all these people from the internet

I must admit that I was a little nervous at first - but once I met you all I knew straight away that there was no need for nerves. You were all such lovely people - lovely "Wonderland Nutters"

Thanks again Auntie Mo for organising and hosting the convention - you and John were excellent company.

I have made so many good friendships from this convention - I will NEVER forget it. Thanks guys xxxx

Davimad · Post by **Davimad** » Fri Sep 16, 2005 12:04 pm

I have to admit to a few tears at the end of the film too. The hauntingly beautiful 'Star 'O' Co. Down' would make anyone cry.

The film was pretty boring but Poops and Becky's captions and music sure livened it up. Pity John left the camera running when we were at another part of the yard, nice if you want to stare at a table and chairs.

It was an experience none of us will forget, a bit nerve racking for everyone at the start but we soon got over it.

You are right Lilo, nobody can understand it and thinks we are all crazy.
People who know me get the reply...." I am M.A.D. after all!"

I still have a mountain of chicken drumsticks in the freezer, (John cooked too many as usual) anyone fancy a leg??????

Thank you to everyone who helped make this a success, a special thanks to my friend Poops for the tee shirt design and for the marvelous job she and Becky made of the film.

In Wonderland, anything is possible. We are all proof of that!

Who's holding the next one??????????
