Tracey, I'm so sorry you wont be down. Now I'll FOR SURE have to schedule a N. Cal trip up for a cat show and meeting up with you, Amberlee, Di, Karen, etc!!! I'll sure miss you, you've been to all of them so far, right??? :( :( We have to see pictures of your 'new' condo then! ;)
Stace!! Its on my calendar!! I'm going to have mom drive us! Yay!! Can't wait!!!
Slick! Ditto!!! ***hugs***
KELLY KOUNTDOWN: 50 MORE DAYS UNTIL THE 4TH ANNUAL S. CAL BBQ!!!
I've been pacing back and forth on this decision and it's been keeping me up at night.
I'm sorry to inform you that I will not be attending this year. I've contacted the airline and they are giving me a full credit to be used before July, 2007. It's just that I need to save money for a big trip I want to take next year.
I hope you all understand. However, I will be calling down there to make sure you are all in line.....
Have fun everyone.
What, what, what?????? I must take to my bed.....First KAK and now Slick....
:( :( :(
:confused: :confused:
Move over, Sara, I am not happy about this news either. Slick and I have been emailing back and forth and I fully respect and understand her decision.
The fact that she will be sorely missed is another matter that we will have to deal with and thank goodness for telephones!
In the following post I am going to make a list of guests and hope that others will be able to attend as well.
Please know that I really appreciate the fact that to fly/drive to California for a one day BBQ is asking a lot. I feel this one will be quieter - uh......what did I just say? Well, not quieter - but fewer people will be attending.
Neighbors - you are on alert - I am allowed to have one noisy BBQ a year! :D :D
GUEST LIST AS OF JUNE 6, 2006 - skip over that 666 part - o.k.? :eek:
STACI
TONYA
KELLY
KAREN
AARON
SARA
DON
PNANCE (TRICIA)
LAURIE
RICHARD
MARY
JULIE
BYRON
RANDI ??? (I hope, I hope)
Now, if we could only encourage our other Californian's to join in - !!!!
Well that should keep you know who over the fence happy!Quote:

I doubt that it will be a quiet affair whatever you decide to do. I heard that the guys in the red truck had this year's date noted in their diaries.
Slick and KAK - so sorry you can't be there. I'm going through baileys withdrawl already. :(
I certainly understand how those nasty priorities can get in the way.
pppsssstttttt - don't tell Slick...........but I swiped her Bailey's recipe and if you are all really really good - :D :D Bailey's will be served. And we will all raise our glasses and cheer her name!
Hope you've got the proper mixer....... ;) :D :DQuote:

Among the items will be my apron that I received last year. I will enclose a black permanent marker and I hope every attendee will sign it....you can use the front and back for writing.
Gini and Richard: could you please go over your signatures from last year and they are a bit faded. I'm really hoping to get it back minus any slushie stains....... :p :D
Slick, it is a special ink that Richard and I found - and it fades in time - so we can never be accused of "being there" (with the ITT sisters et al.)
I'll try to keep it away from my pants. :pQuote:
