Dave & Sandy are saying Goodbye & Good Riddance!
Birdie Sue says,
"Thank goodness they're all gone!
Now I can get some rest!"
I Just want to THANK Sandy and Dean and DD's publicly, because I just can't thank them enough!
You were so well prepared and so thoughtful of everyone and every need that you made all our time in Iowa just PERFECT! We had more fun then anyone not there could know. You were perfect Host and Hostesses and now that I'm home I want to give you another hug! (((Sandy and Dean)))
Your yard was so beautiful and I really enjoyed looking over every plant and decoration. Those ponds (yes,two of them) were even beautiful after they were "P"ed in.
Tom and I were extra blessed because we had the privilege of staying in there house. Dean even served us Sat. morning breakfast. What Cool people!
You've been a great blessing to us and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
You betcha, we Love you! Tom and Judy
DITTO!!!!!
THANK YOU, (((((((Dean, Sandy, Caryn and Kalie!)))))))))
I only hope you guys know what it meant to all of us. You went above and beyond.
As a family, you're all a little nutty but, we love you more than words can say! *SSSSSSSS* You guys are too cool!
Thank you Dean and Sandy. I loved my room with the pretty red quilt and the Winnie the Poo bathroom. Loved those kitties. Sure was tempted to take Birdie Sue home with me. I appreciate all the work you went to. I will be back.

Add me to the list of Thankers! I have never felt more at home or welcome at a friend's home than I did at Sandy and Deans'. I couldn't think of enough good adjectives to describe how I felt so I blabbered thank-you, thank-you over and over again like a blithering idiot! lolol I meant it though!
Man, this was a great weekend. Made perfect by the perfect hosts. Thank you! Thank you!
Yes....Yes.....Yes......Thank you..wholeheartedly (is that a real word???)
For the opportunity to make lifetime memories....
I really had a great time meeting everyone....
I know you guys must have been worn out by the time we all left....
It couldn't have been better...
Thanks again.....so much...

ditto all the above..Andy and I had a great weekend (kids with grandma..hoohoo) thanks for sharing your home and your town with us. I have never seen so many adults on a carrosel before! that was fun, 'cept Andy kept telling me to STOP turning the tea cup we were riding in!lol
We haven't laughed so much in a long time.
Thanks again Sandy and Dean (and the girls), we had a wonderful time, don't know how you did it...are ya doing it again next year? Cuz we'll definatly come back if you are!

It was truly a fantastic weekend, and I hope Dean & Sandy are getting some much needed peace and quiet. Thanks guys!
Hey, don't forget me!! I wanna say thank you too. You guys are the best and your DD's pitched right in and helped make this such an eventful weekend!(My DD would of run for the hills..LOL).
You guys made this such an enjoyable and unforgettable time! How you ever did it is beyond comprehension!
Thanks again from DH and I!!!
Ditto above what everyone said!
THANK YOU SANDY, DEAN, CARYN, AND KALIE!!!
Let me get in too!
Thanks to Sandy, Dean and their 2 daughters! What a perfect weekend.
Like Flamey, I felt like I blabbered too, but even though we all had such a casual, comfortable fun time....I know that it took so much work, planning and expense to pull it all off.
I hope you guys are getting some rest and that it doesn't take a week to get everything back to normal at your place again!
Thanks for the memories!
MaryAnn & Jammer
Hey, wait for me! Dh and I want to thank you for the hospitality, we can't stop talking aboot the trip, eh?
Gary and I want to thank you too. You guys were just like family, and you treated us so too. You made us feel right at home and that is a special feeling!! I hope we can do it again "somewhere" next year. I'm sure Sandy and Judy will have lots of "hints" for you.
Sandy, reread all the posts and pretend that they say "Ya Ya" on them! LOL I agree with Mary Ann. I thought the same thing. While we were all sittin' around casually "schmoozin'" a lot of work had gone into the fun, the food, the entertainment, the clean bathrooms,etc.! LOL
You guys are the greatest and I mean that with all my heart. (No snorts, grins or crossed fingers!) Thank you so much from all of us.
There goes YaYa taking the easy way out again,lol!
I'm sorry I'm late in posting my thank you here.
I had such a great time and enjoyed meeting new KTers and visiting with the ones that I already met.
I swear I never heard Dean open his mouth last year, so when he talked this year, I had to ask where he was from!
Who knew he was from MN, too, you betcha!
I loved seeing the girls again and actually getting to talk to them this year.
I think they were leaving about the time we got to MN last year.
Your house is just gorgeous and I love your table that I am now trying to find one like and buy.
Flamey sent me some great links, ty!
Sandy and Dean thanks for letting us come to your home before your pond tour! Y'all are really brave or forgot the date of the pond tour,lol!
Would you please write Lurch,Gabby and Bryan,on the back of our rock,
I meant to, but I got sidetracked when I had to spend "time out" in some
MS town! And Dean quit crying, you'll love Bryan!!!!
Thanks again for all the hard work you did for planning everything.
And I loved the carosoul(?) not cheesy at all!!
Sandy and Dean (the original Dean!) treated us like family,
even with what was going on in their lives.
I don't see how we can thank you all enough, Sandy.
To go out of your way to make everyone feel at home...well,
(((Sandy, Dean, Caryn and Kalie)))
