What a night it was. It was so good to meet all who came. I arrived earlier in the day to meet up with a few friends in town. I stopped by the depot and walked around a bit. How sad to see that gone. I arrived at Mama’s at 4:30 and decided to lean back in my seat a take a short nap. After walking in I recognized Sparks right away. She got up and gave me a nice hug and proceeded to buy me a drink. Thank you Sparks, that coffee mocha kept me awake all the way home. Sparks introduced me to Oohchild. It was just the three of us for a while then Joty walks in. Now Joty looked somewhat like her self description but I thought she dressed up well. The time started getting busy and I kind of lost track of who came in next. When I heard someone mention that Storilori arrived, I turned to look and the first thing that came to my mind is “Whoa,” “Hot babe in the room.” I had a chance to chat with her outside and realized, although they would be different, we could sit down for hours and share some amazing true-life stories. Bigdog and Olivia arrived and I could tell that if you saw them walking down opposite sides of the street you’d know they go together. Although I only heard the last half of your story, Olivia, I enjoyed hearing it. I enjoyed my conversation with Reffup on religion; don’t know how that got started. Then there was Eekitsaspider and Awsmom8, I enjoyed getting to know them more. Eek, I will continue to pray for you and your husband. Madkow, now I think the rest of us would agree that your name is not befitting to your appearance. There must be story behind that name I didn’t get to hear. It was good to meet your husband and your baby too. He’s so cute. (Of course I’m taking about your baby.)

Well I missed seeing GregL before I left. I missed Scottso too. I know how things can come up and keep you from doing what you’d like do. Then there is Gube. What happened to Gube? I have this very strong feeling he was there but was afraid of getting tied up and whipped. I really think he was there and I’m confident I know who he is. But out of respect I’ll keep that a secret.
 
I had a great time. Out of some of the bad memories of Tehachapi, last night will always be great memory. I doubt I’ll be coming back to Tehachapi but I will cherish my new friends. I won't make any promises, but I’ll try to slip in last night’s event in my novel. A big thinks to Mama’s Hilly Beans for putting up with our loud mouths. I think there will be a place for you in my novel too.

And if I forgot to mention anyone, please except my apologies. It was not intended.
