It has been almost a week since IFC and I still can't get the smile off my face. I am looking forward to going to our furry picnic next weekend (usually includes bowling and late night food), and then our Friday dinner out. I am so glad to have local furs that are active in the fandom and get together on a regular basis. I read, in many forums, comments by people around the world that don't know/have any other furs near them, no fur meets, and no Cons close by. I feel truly blessed to be where I am as I get started in this fandom. Though I am quite new here, I feel very much at home, welcomed, and accepted. This brings me great joy...thus the never fading smile.
