Who ARE the TIT's???

In a few postings I have mentioned the TIT's. Many of you know of this gal pal group . . . but sadly, some readers are in the dark. So inquiring minds ... allow me to introduce my friends:

The TIT's = Together In Time

Members: (r - l)

Rhonda Gilbert (Wanna, my sister), Becky Easton (Lovah), Bev Thomson (Beeve butts), Chris Held (Frissy), and moi

In the mid 90’s, I would get together with four girlfriends for an annual autumn get-away to Stellako Lodge. We would always have a theme for this September weekend i.e tacky tourist, wedding veils, ladies of the night etc and enjoy some good red wine. Of course, we would also book in to enjoy a Saturday dinner prepared by the European chef and owner. On Sunday we would end with plans from our mocking Annual General Meeting.

One weekend, we were hosting our annual AGM , and we struck it rich on a scratch and win. Yes - $100 dollars. WOW! We immediately voted Chrissy to be our treasurer, and she invested what money we could raise. To boost the account, we sold Robert Held Art glass. Sales took off and so did we. Our first TIT trip was in 2001 to Chrissy’s condo in Maui. That trip gave us the travel bug. We have since had 2 luxurious all-expenses paid trips to Italy. These trips are designed by princess Chrissy; the experience and accommodations are 5 star all the way! It is quite the surreal experience!

It is not often that 5 women can bond, travel, and remain close friends. No one is in competition, no one is high maintenance, no one is demanding, and no one is controlling. We just are. Each brings a special something to the mix that makes our fivesome a truly unique group.

I am proud to be a TIT and honoured to have this unique bond with four other strong, incredible women.
