The Hosts!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

AWW it looks like such a great time!!! I see that Eddie got dressed up in his harness and joined the fun!!:D

BUT is HH Naked *gasp*

Your garden looks gorgeous! Everything looks so GREEN!! Now I am even more GREEN with envy! ;)

Thanks for posting some pics- I've been waiting with baited breath!

edit: Is that Cataholic under the tree???

[Edwina's Secretary]

I will try and describe who is who....Cataholic is the pregnant woman on the cell phone....sitting under the tree...., Kimmy has on running shoes and shorts, Lillian (Lilycat) is the other long haired woman, Debbie is in a sleeveless blouse and Terry is next to her. My husband, Don, is in a red shirt, Siegmar is the silver-haired gentleman, and Barbara is wearing a pink blouse (in the windchime photo!) My sister is the brunette in white and Basement Girl is in white with Gavin on her lap. A friend of mine from Germany is the other woman.

Edwina was being a good girl and allowed out without her jacket!

And....here's the album..... Garden Party (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286629633&idx=1)

[lbaker]

I'm still trying to figure out just who is who :confused: Was Edwina really in the buff :eek:

[popcornbird]

Great pics, although I must say..........they aren't enough! Not enough at all. I am still waiting/hoping for more. :p

[lbaker]

HAH, we posted at the same time Sara! You just answered all my questions, thank you - and thanks for the pictures!!
Laurie

[Cataholic]

Lest anyone think I was being less than mannerly, the cell phone to my ear was connected to my sister in Cinti, giving me a full report on the tending of the cats! :D

[lbaker]

WAAAAA ARRRGH, I can't open the Garden Party album..

[Cataholic]

Neither can I!

Me either :(

I tried to fix it but now it requires membership.

Let me try again here... Garden Party (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286629633&idx=1)

[Randi]

Great pictures, Looks like you had fun! :D I really wish we could have been there too!! And the weather seem perfect for the occasion! :) Is Debbie giving a speech to you all?? LOL!

Love the picture of Barbara - and the one of Siegmar with Edwina!

Edwina and Eddie, you are the perfect hosts! Well done!! ;)

That's what it looks like, doesn't it? I can't remember what I was doing, but it looks like I'm looking at some sort of picture....

Anyway, ok, photos you wanted, photos you get!

Eddie our host.

Hmmm....that water looks good....
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/pe2b9d8bca37a8ad60b6fa2d7cbe3c088/f85ddf21.jpg

I think I'll see if I can get a bit of that....
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p24cfcfbc8e174721dc1610ed4f55ede2/f85ddf29.jpg

Ooooohhhh....I have to s-t-r-e-t-c-h.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p6d5861007b61233b8f615ab27988898c/f85ddf1d.jpg

I know you didn't see that, Edwina (he slipped down from the fountain then slinked away so Edwina wouldn't notice his embarrassment)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p874906acc671f2db939a3c3b9634ac52/f85ddf18.jpg

The ladies having a chat. Sorry, Jo, but unfortunately I don't remember what the discussion was about, but it must have been not so pretty. ;)

More coming

[Kona & Oreo's mom]

What a beautiful day and party you had. I am glad that you all had such a good time. :)

[lbaker]

Thanks for the "guest" info, it worked and the pictures are terrific (as always).

Laurie

[Cataholic]

LOL...what a face on me! It must have been about work, or something likewise distressing to me. :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

This is the "God I hate that dog!" pose. :D
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p2da6ad4db66a84e9b531bef8b431a458/f85ddf10.jpg
(Gavin was just on the other side of the sidewalk and Edwina would NOT take her eyes off of him)

Eddie says, I've had enough of this socializing stuff, I want to go in!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p71de0623e0ebe686550b7f16247594fb/f85ddf0d.jpg

Aaaahhhh....this is more like it.....
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/pf9cc40900cc6c236fcdda14edddf8865/f85dd711.jpg

Here's Leslie (aka Basement girl) with Gavin. He looked so comfy I just had to take a pic.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/p734d832e2bec19fde5de2ae6737e116f/f85dd70a.jpg

Bwwaahhhaaaaa, hee, hee, hee..... (Gavin must have thought that was an hilarious joke)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/pc740e28087b88999d8ce00f3fd64a412/f85dd701.jpg

And that's all. I can't believe I didn't take more pics than that, but I know Kimmy took a lot and Siegmar was snapping left and right, so I know there'll be many more coming. And now I'm off to work on the videos.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oops, forgot one.

I'm soooo jealous! Kim with Edwina on her lap and Don (Edwina's daddy) in the background.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid120/pfc8847a9809c6b697579adb265d9f7c1/f85dd706.jpg

Edwina still must remember that I'm the one that brought Eddie. The only way I got to pet her was from behind while everyone else was distracting her from the front.

[popcornbird]

Great pics!!! You all took way too little! I want more!!!
He he.......Johanna's picture made me burst out laughing! :p

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Pops, I forgot to mention, I got to rub Johanna's tummy and I said "Hi" to baby boy. :D

WHAAAAAT?!?! :eek:


Did baby boy say *Hi* back?
:p

[moosmom]

Great pictures Sara!!! I am SO sorry I missed the garden party. But, as you know, I just couldn't pass up a chance to spend time with my daughter in CT.

I hope I'll be invited to the next garden party! I promise I'll make it next time!

Glad everyone had a wonderful time!

Hey Johanna,

You are looking GREAT!!!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Not at the moment, but I guess he was acting up by the end of the night - but Jo will have to give you details on that. ;)

Ok, videos, none of these are all that thrilling, but I know you'll all love them anyway. ;) And normally I edit out the sound so it takes less time to download, but I had to leave it in this time because you can hear the ICQ "you've got a message" announcement on the two Eddie videos. Sara got on ICQ with Randi so she could "virtually" join the party and we all took a turn talking to her. I was in the dining room with Eddie, talking to Randi when he decided to be cute. :D

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Eddie is so adorable I couldn't resist giving him skritchies.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

And Edwina, joining in the conversation.

[ramanth]

Eddie you are so adorable. :D

[gini]

I am so jealous. It was fun to meet Sara and Don while they were in California - BUT 'I' didn't get to meet Edwina and Eddie.

It looks as though everyone had such a great time........but with the "E's" as the host and hostess.........how could you go wrong?

[Vio&Juni]

Aaaaahh, what a great garden party!
But with such beautiful hosts and great guests...! I wish I could come too. Maybe another time!

Edwina and Eddie look very happy. I like the picture where Edwina is in the center of attention, she looks like a Princess :)

[Randi]

Oh Debbie, you made my day!! :D Those videos are so cute, just as I had imagined Eddie. And it was fun talking to you all while it was recorded! :)

Eddie, you should have practised that stunt a few times before you did it in front of all the guests! :eek:

Edwina, you know Debbie's caption is just perfect - you do look like you're saying: Get out of my sight, Gavin!! LOL!

The pictures are super! Especially the first one of Eddie - and in the second, Edwina looks SO Royal! ;)

Leslie with Gavin is a real cute picture - and Ramanth, you're looking good! I wonder what discussion you got into there, Cataholic - Barbara doesn't seem to have you quite convinced of whatever it was. LOL!

Thanks a lot for sharing the party!! :)

Oh, I almost forgot - A BIG applause to Sara for making this happen!! :D We hope there'll be a next time!

[lizbud]

It looks like the Garden Party was a huge success.:) All the
pictures & videos are great. I'm so sorry that I wasn't able to
come. My ailing pupster needed me at home.

I'm going back to look at all the pics again. Everyone looks
so good in these pictures, especially the E's.:D

Kay, you can see it in the pic where Johanna's got the goofy look on her face (sorry again, Jo). Just look below Kimmy's arm and Barbara's hand.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks everybody and Randi is right, Sara deserves a big round of applause for truly hosting this event even though we like to think it was the E's that were the hosts.

Sara and Don have a beautiful home and one of the most lovely gardens I've ever been in, and it was so much fun to be able to share that all with such good friends from afar. :D

[ramanth]

Here's my pictures!

Thanks again for convincing me to try sushi. I'm hooked!

[Ally Cat's Mommy]

Great pics Kim!!:D

[popcornbird]

Great pics Kim!!! I think I am now satisfied enough, picture-wise. ;) :D

[Vio&Juni]

:) :) :) :) I really wish I was there with all of you!

Look at Edwina - how beautiful she is! I would give anything to run my fingers through her gorgeous fur! And Eddie, such a heartbreaker! He's so handsome!

Sara, I love your garden!

[Miss Meow]

*stamps feet and puts on best Veruca Salt pout*

I want to go to the garden party!

Great company, beautiful cats, stunning garden and gorgeous weather - and photos for us. Perfect
:D

[Lillycat]

[Pam]

Great pictures everyone! I love the close-ups, Kimmy, and the movies were so cute Debbie! I am wondering if Edwina made any of her *unladylike sounds* :eek: while this was going on. Siegmar how about it? Did she behave? :p
http://kia.cutestsandgirl.com/images/garden_party/siegmar_edwina.jpg

Did anyone get to meet Shirley in the garden or was she a No Show? :p

[krazyaboutkatz]

It sure looks like everyone had a great time.:D
Thanks for posting all of the wonderful photos. The movies were great too.:)

[Lillycat]

gosh, i keep coming back to the garden party, checking again the pictures, reliving each moment......i just love the picture of eddie "checking out the fountain"....dont you?

[Barbara]

It's as if I had been there:D :D :D

I think Lady Edwina was very ladylike until more than 3 people at a time tried to pet her.

Thanks Sara for the wonderful stay and the PARTEE!!!!! We had the times of our lifes:)

Edwina was not so thrilled about being in my lap. ;) :o :D

Shirley made a quick appearance, doing a high wire balancing act above, but she dissapeared into the trees before I could get my camera out.

[Edwina's Secretary]

First, Edwina wants everyone to know that she did perform her marvelous imitation of a snake a couple of times for the assembled guests. Shirley, meanwhile, looked down at the feast, and seeing no Brazil nuts, continued on her way...after performing a daring high wire act for the crowd. (She had made numerous nutty visits during the week!) Eddie still believes there is a bird SOMEWHERE in that fountain.

It was perfect weather, great people and a fun time. Thanks to all who helped make it a special day.

And btw....my sister's name is Becky:D :D ...which is very close to Betsy!

[Randi]

What great pictures, Kim - all of them! :) You really caught the feel of it all. The pictures of Eddie are unbelievable cute! And also the one of Siegmar holding Edwina. She even looks relaxed!! ;)

Eddie, instead of standing in that awkward position, you could jump up on the edge - but perhaps you'd get wet feet. :eek:

Thanks so much for sharing! :)

[Vermontcat]

Great photos everyone!
I just have to comment on this one...
Johanna, didn't your mother ever tell you not to make faces like that or one day it would freeze that way!;) :p

Barbara and Siegmar are now enjoying themselves with Sallyanne here in Vermont.
I had the pleasure of meeting them yesterday and I did take some photos but won't have time to post them until tomorrow at the earliest.

[Lillycat]

[Lillycat]

oh vermontcat, forgot to say .......cant wait for the pictures!!!!!

[Lillycat]

great album pictures too!!!!!!!

[Killearn Kitties]

Thanks so much everyone for all these wonderful pictures! The day looks to have been a truly special event. I was really keen to see pictures of the party, but now I'm just green with envy. I would LOVE to meet the E's!! (and everyone else, of course.:D )
