BUUTTT showing some good ol' hospitality Kelly, Tonya, Laura and Alexa and I took water out to the one watching the truck. And that was a whole nother story - he was quite chatty. Originally from St. Louis, has 2 cats, was in the ARMY for 10 years, and on the LAPD for 6 years. ***swwooooooons*** and he told me I had pretty eyes.
I even called Phred and as soon as he said "HELLO" I said
"CAN WE KEEP THEM?"
;)
That is exactly what I was thinking b/c they showed up after I fell off the deck I was like where were they when I fell down the steps? I coulda used CPR!!! :pQuote:

Her flight out of LA was late - but so was her connecting flight so she made it and just reported in that she is home AND GOING TO WORK????:o :o
Another one safely home - THANK YOU!!!
I like the one in the LAPD hat, can I take him home?
Richard...your cute too!
A few of those firemen looked hotter than the fires they put out! You lucky ladies. I love the Thursdays sign. Did anyone get a pic of just that?
Yes, I got a good one - need Slick's help to download the pictures...........I can be so dimwitted about downloading pictures.Quote:

the more I think about the day the more stories I have...
That alone will keep the thread going for a while..
I have a huge list of THANK YOU'S, SHOUT OUTS AND INSANELY FUNNY STORIES for this thread..sooo, if I saw you doing something funny, you said something funny or I took a moment to laugh with you..........
Pet Talk is gonna hear about it!!!
------------------------------------------
Oh,
Before I forget......Randi?
We all speak the language of pets.....That is always understood.
And Killearn Kitties,
You poor thing...I think we embarrassed her the whole day...
She was either sunburnt or she had the reddest cheeks on the planet.
And she was very gracious and we appreciated that!
----------------------------------
And before I forget.....thanks to Aaron, Wolflady's husband.
He helped me pick up the back yard before he left......and because he is TALLER THAN I AM....I had someone to look up to!
This sounds like the absolute best time EVER!
Richard, that picture is so dern funny! Did she like the cake?:D
She better have - it was the "better than sex" cake.;)Quote:

GREAT PICS!!!!!!
Richard, that is really a great pic of you!!!
I am having so much fun keeping up with your adventures. The only thing better would have to have been there myself. :( I'm so glad Mary ended up arriving safely, and getting home, safely. I think this will teach us not to use Independence Air for a cross country flight. We want one with many, many alternate times!!!!

Terry said I beat the cake.... ;) :eek: :p :D :oQuote:

:D :D Hehehehehe....I've been away from PT for the past week and I have to tell you that I have had fun catching up on this wonderful event. Sounds like such a great, fun and wacky time! I've enjoyed all the stories and pics so far and can't wait to see and hear more.
The official Pet Talk bag lady is finally back to Columbia. And yes, I'm at work. The better to show you the few pictures I took.

What are Richard and Sara.
That's all I got, folks. I was much too busy enjoying myself.
I can hardly wait for next year! Maybe we should pick everyone up in a bus next year. What a trip THAT would be.
Mary
(Jeeze, I look like he#@!)
Richard... I have perfect 20/20 with some help from some contacts...and you are looken cute without a prop...those fireman have to cheat and wear those uniforms and all.
We've tried the "better than sex" chocolate in Germany. Impressed, but it's not even close ;)Quote:

Awww, he's making biscuits! I love it.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...z/e23b51d9.jpg
Now, people, confess - does Gini really have THREE cats or it's just one! :D
I only saw one, but boy what a lover boy that one was! He was closed in the bedroom for most of the day because he tends to get out and then get into scraps - which he was still recovering from (or was it Gini that was still recovering?) so I carefully went into the bedroom and we had a nice skritchie fest under Gini's bed. :D He was soooo sweet, and was purring the entire time, even though I so rudely interrupted his nap.
Then later when Tracey presented Gini with the beds, Rascal got to come out and test them right away. He immediately started making biscuits and purring! He got to stay out for a bit to drown in attention, but then it was back to the bedroom for his own safety.
I understand the other two were around, but I never saw them. :( Although I can't blame them.....I'm not surprised the whole neighborhood didn't hide from us! :D :D
Re - Gini's kitties - I actually did see the second one - but she was rather shy and wouldn't let me near her.
My only regret over the whole thing is that the day flew by too fast. -poof- - like Cinderella's ball, it was over.
Mary - I'm so glad you made it back to work, you certainly win the award for most harrowing journey trying to get to the party.
I knew I was home-sweet-home last night when at 5:00am, my dear Joxer wanted to snuggle with us in the bed and proceeded to barf.:eek:
So, who says the parteee is over???
Richard arrived a while ago and he's teaching be how to boil beans....:rolleyes:
As I sit here, there is howling laughter coming from the deck....Richard, Laura, Alexa, Staci, Zippy, Kelly, Laurie and Gini are starting happy hour all over again.
Did I just hear something about Pet Talk pasties???:eek: :eek:
Mary, I'm so glad that you made it back without incident. Thanks for checking in.
Awwww!!! I wish I was there! Still sounds like a pretty decent sized crowd is having some fun at Gini's. Have fun for me guys...I'm stuck at work right now :( wishing I was there with you all, and then I have to deal with the annoying accident stuff again tomorrow morning! *sigh*
Glad you made it home, Mary. That was indeed the worst commute ever! Staci's too!
**hugs**
Karen
What great place to be stuck in the middle, Laurie!!!Quote:
Staci...I think you should bring him and his two cats home ;)
What a sandwich!
Just think! it won't be long before you need to open the REAL Thursdays (the cyber one) again!!!! :DQuote:

I think a web cam out there would be perfect for next year. Hint hint hint hint!
Mary so glad you are home safe!!!
After the trip you had, you are allowed to not look your best for at least a month!!! ;)
Mary, you are a trooper, if I ever knew one! :) Maybe next year, you, Scott and I can travel together to make sure we all arrive in one piece, or at least keep each other company. Maybe it could even just be you and me.......we'll see about that! ;) If it is financially possible, I do not see myself missing next year's get together because my heart was broken all weekend, not being there when I wanted to be so badly.
You guys are the best! Hope you're having a terrific time this evening!!!! :) :)

Ok, so I was having too much fun to get too many good pics - what can I say? Sorry. Here are the few good ones I got, in no particular order since my picture program is screwing up on me and putting things in all sorts of weird orders.
Sara modeling her apron from Lut with a green slushie in hand.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/f333d136.jpg
Terry, Karen and I toured the Mission San Juan Capistrano. It was founded in November 1776 and is beautiful and historic. Here are Karen and I posing with the bouganvilla (I know that's spelled wrong).
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...7/f333d130.jpg
Our host - Don Eduardo.

Richard showing off the crisp white German wine from Barbara.

Trying to play photographer here. A view of Laguna Beach from above.

Eddie grazing
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/f333d122.jpg
We hiked up a hill near Sara's house. Quite the workout but what a view!
Left to right back to front - Karen, Randi, Debbie, Sara - the Southern contingent of PT BBQers.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...9/f333d11f.jpg
Our wonderful hostess - Lady Edwina.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...5/f333d119.jpg
The now infamous firemen. Fortunately they didn't get lost in the L & F....or maybe unfortunately.....;)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/f333d115.jpg
-------->More coming!
Randi making Danish meatballs. Sara had the most adorable kitty kat apron for her (this was before the BBQ and Lut's aprons).
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...c/f333d113.jpg
We visited some motorhome friends while we were there. We stopped at the Swallows Inn which is a real dive of a bar, but it was neat and we played whatever this game is. Terry and friend.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/f333d110.jpg
Friend showing off the score, and this was not made up! We tied at exactly 21 to 21!!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f333d10f.jpg
Eddie profile.

Karen & Gini making small talk with the LAFD.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...9/f333d10a.jpg
Will you puh-leeze get that flashy thing out of my face! She wasn't too happy I was interrupting her nap. ;)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f333d102.jpg
We all had to make an arrow telling where we came from, how far it is and staple it on the post in the direction we came from. Here is Sara's arrow. It says "Laguna Niguel - alot closer if the men would listen!" Just a slight reference to the fact that we made a slight detour because Don didn't take the exit Sara told him to.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...b/f333d100.jpg
Slick & Laurie with the neighbors goldens. Look how Laurie's hair matches so perfectly!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...7/f333d0fd.jpg
Cava and wine from Koxka. We did put the Catalonia flag on before we presented them.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...5/f333d0fb.jpg
-------> More coming!
Another view of Laguna Beach. Perfect weather, beautiful scenery, good food and good friends....who would want to come back to work? :(
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f333d0f5.jpg
Eddie having a "private moment" with his bankie and pillow.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...4/f333d0f4.jpg
Sara, Terry and Randi drove to the bottom of the hill that we climbed up near their house (see previous post). Don, Karen and I walked up this part of the hill, plus the steep part - quite the work out unless your're in a car.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/f333d0f1.jpg
Randi modeling her apron from Lut.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...3/f333d0ec.jpg
Laguna Beach - No swimming, surfing only, and they were! Now this is California! Of course Terry wanted me to tell everybody that the surfer was him...;)
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...0/f333d0e9.jpg
Friends and us overlooking the Dana Point Harbor. It was foggy so that's why there's not much of a view. According to the Harbor Patrol, it's the end of what they call the "June Gloom" where it's foggy and cool. I thought the weather was perfect!
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...8/f333d0e1.jpg
Here's our arrow.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...d/f333d0de.jpg
The flower connisieur (spelling again?) himself.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...f/f333cfdb.jpg
After sniffing the flowers, he started rubbing his gums on the books standing there....and knocked them over! It was early morning and the house was quiet until the big crash! Fortunately I think everybody was still sleeping so I just put the books back up nicely so he didn't get scolded for anything. :D
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...a/f333cfd6.jpg
-------->More coming!
Eddie knew we were leaving so he was rolling around acting his cutest for me. He's such a good boy....well...most of the time anyway. Makes me so happy to see him so happy.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...e/f333cfc9.jpg
One more roll. I guess he visited Randi and Karen in bed, but not us - pout pout.
http://www.imagestation.com/picture/...6/f333cfcd.jpg
Oops, I guess that's it! Hope you enjoy! I know there aren't that many of the actual BBQ....hopefully others have more/better ones.
Great pictures, Debbie! I loved seeing them all.
Wah I'm jealous! You got to meet the E's! Great pics .... and what's this about PT pasties? :p Is that the food kind or the "other" kind? :rolleyes: :D Oh dear! We might have to wear them to Thursdays or the BBQ next year!
Wow! Great pictures!!! :D Looks like you all had a fabulous time. I can't wait to see more. I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the pic of Sara and Richard posed together. That must have been a sight to see. ;) He he he!
Now...........
Does anyone care to explain how or WHY there were firemen there? I'm kinda lost. :o:o
Phred - also known as Cinder and Smokey's Dad - volunteer firefighter in Ohio - arranged for them to come as a surprise!Quote:

Man I feel so jealous of all of you that went after hearing stories and seeing those wonderful pictures!
Glad you all had so much fun:D
I was reading this thread earlier today and left it open while I was at work. When I just read this post, I had forgotten that the discussion was on cats. I initially thought you were talking about a fireman, hehehehehe :D I kinda figured it was a cat when you go to the sckritchie fest under the bed :eek: :DQuote:

Great pictures everyone! When does everyone officially "go home?"
Dragons....oh yes, there were A LOT of dragons. All colors, shapes, sizes AND some were even edible!! OH! And they helped cool our drinks!!!Quote:

And my sweet, innocent car, Sparkles, was deflowered by a blue, sticky one.
Oh, Mom...your girls are home now.
Sorry, Kay...I didn't answer your question...
Stace is leaving tomorrow at 9:35 a.m. its going to be a sad trip to the airport and I'm not leaving till she's safely in the air. :( I'm going to miss that girl!! :(
From there, I'm going to Gini's to be with Tonya and my new adoptive mom, Gini. More tears will be shed when we have to see her leave in a jet plane. :( :(
Laurie is leaving for San Diego on the same train Slick will be on to go visit Sara...Slick is coming back tomorrow evening so Gini can take her to the airport on Wednesday.
Wednesday, Gini, Richard and I will be on our own and back to the real world.
I'm not going to post any pictures until tomorrow night because I want it to last longer. Tomorrow will suck, I'll be saying goodbye to two of the bestest friends I've ever had. :( :( :(
OK, I'm going to start crying now...better go.
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :D I missed all the dragon fun!?!? Someone better have taken pics! :DQuote:
