Thanks again to our hosts! We must have had about 40 people in total (adults and kids) and it was a really nice way to just meet and talk with other Freethinkers. We did a little exercise to get to know each other better (I think most of us know very little about each other beyond some basics) where we each had to write down a 'little known fact about ourselves'. So what did I learn?

* One of our members is distantly related to Barack Obama (the Irish are related to everyone y'know!)

* A couple of the members are musically gifted

* One person is happiest when he is on his bicycle (who wouldn't be in this beautiful weather!)

* Several members have really interesting - and unlikely - early careers

Great we had loads of food as well! Although at one point I saw my daughter trying to sneak past me with a plate stacked with a nutritious dinner . . .consisting of cheetos and a piece of cake. Hmmm.
