Thanks for hosting a really fun meeting Arlene. The food was wonderful and the friendship was even better. Congratulations to the Aquascaping Winners and thanks to Cavan for the Rotala slide show.

Also thanks to the GWAPA officers for making it all possible.

I had a great time seeing everyone yesterday, including meeting some new faces.

Cavan, you did an excellent job teaching us about the Rotala species. Now I want to go on some field trips to collect some local plants.

Rick, Mary, David, Jen, and Jesse, thanks for bringing extra treats to share with everyone!

Congratulations to the winners of the beautiful tanks! You guys are an inspiration for next year contest.

And finally, thanks to Jen, Cristy, Cory, Nick, Chris, and Dawn for sticking around after the meeting to help aquascape the 40L tank. It's looking great and today I've started to add plants, and a nice piece of driftwood that I got today from a Craigslist post. I'm so excited, and can't wait for the tank to be cycled!

Arlene :D , who is so happy with her new plants and tank!
There are no happy endings.
Endings are the saddest part.
So just give me a happy middle
And a very happy start.

Losing to Kris by such a narrow margin - just one vote - is much better than I ever thought possible. That's a win for me as far as I'm concerned!
