Oh, Logan, and how we wish that you could join us.
I know that I am really getting excited about this Second Annual!
I wish you could come too, Logan. :(
Kelly Kountdown:
BBQ: 15 days
Tonya, Karen, Aaron & Tracey's arrival: 14 days
Slick's arrival: 13 days
Oh my! Its getting so close! Next week, we'll be in single digit numbers!!!
Anyone else wanna come to Disneyland? Laurie, how long will you be staying? Richard? Gini?? Rascal (you can hide in my purse)?? Mystery Guest??
;)
Oh My, 13 days??? Maybe these shaving cuts will heal by then??? :D :D
To the Mystery Guest:
How many pets do you have and what kind??
I need to make sure I have one surprise package per pet.:)
PS: I think Laurie is flying in on Sat the 24th, Laurie correct me if I'm wrong.
Gini: I don't need to pack anything "dressy" do I?
BTW: I called the airline yesterday to change my departure from LA from the 30th to the 27th. Turns out I leave LA at 9:45am.:eek: Will I make it after being in Disneyland til midnight??
Correcto-mundo Slick on my arrival, Sat morn at 10:15. I'm not into doing the Disney thing so will probably leave Monday am (If Gini can put up with me that long, maybe Sunday eve). Not sure where I'm going, bro is moving the same time to Imperial Beach instead of Mission Beach where I thought he would be. But that's OK.. I've always relied on the kindness of strangers. I can't bring a bunch of stuff on the plane so treats etc will have to be limited. doG willin' and the crik don't rise I'll have a surprise or two. See ya soon By the way Gini, I've lost your phone number.. call me? Tonya, can you find a picture of Sophie for me? I want one for my "Wall of Fame". Drake, Angus and Binx are there, not to mention my own loves
I was shopping at Drug Barn today and I decided to look in their pet section because they sometimes have some great deals. Well they sure did. :) Just when I thought I was finished, I saw some very cute things for all the hoomans. I think I've gone overboard on the gifts this year. Oh well, it's only once a year.:D
Everyone flying back will need to be sure to leave enough room in your suitcases for all of the goodies.:)
KAK: that's very kind of you but I must admit that I wasn't planning on buying anything for the hooman crowd because I don't know any of you or your likes and dislikes.:o Not only that but financially, I just could not afford it. Instead, I will wait for the next Pet Talk Gift Exchange.
Sure hope that's OK with everyone. :o :o
Slick, don't worry no one expects gifts. The gifts are all pet related and not really personal and very inexpensive.;)Quote:

Bless you all. Most of you will have come quite a distance and at a great expense to be here..........airfare, gasoline expense, hotel expense. NO ONE EXPECTS PRESENTS ---- what is the most imporant is your presence! And that is what I am looking foward to...........a group of people who adore and love their pets, all together in my back yard!
Rascal, Annie and Emma feel the same way!
Laurie:
Name and gender of your cones please. Thanks.
OK, I just read through all 8 pages of last year's BBQ thread. Can you tell I'm excited???:D :D :D
Slick, my cone boys Klark & Kent are staying home and watching over the house. They love to play horse shoes. If I remember correctly Richards AKA is Chauncey but that was after a few of his Slushies so maybe I'm just halucinating :o Oh my gosh my golly, I'm sooo excited :D
ha ha! I forgot about Chancey!!! :D :D :D
I'm getting so excited!! I can't believe there are more than twice as many pages for this year....too fun!
Is it time yet?????
I have a question...I'm planning on making two tarts on Saturday morning. Any one NOT like the following??
How about a vote, just give me two that sound good to you:
*Mixed summer fruit tart
*Strawberry and Lemon Curd tart
*Grape tart
*Coconut cream tart
*Berry/Chocolate tart
Kelly Kountdown: 13 days until the BBQ (all other arrivals)
Tonya, Karen, Aaron & Tacey's arrival: 12 days
Slick's arrival: 11 days
Eeeep....I'd better get to work!! Lots to do, time is going too fast now!! Yay!! :)
:D Kelly, I'm torn! The only one that doesn't really appeal to me is grape - the rest sound absolutely yummy!
I'm thinking of bringing chocolate cookies. I guess I'm going to bake them very late the night before (unless I can talk my mom into getting up early and baking them the day of departure muwhaha). I just hope they fare the plain ride. :eek:
Kelly, if I would HAVE to narrow it down I would have to pick your first two............
I never developed the taste for desserts and don't eat pies or cookies or cakes or anything else with sugar so my piece can go the highest bidder.
I'll stick to the slushies :D :D
BTW: what plans do we have for Sunday?
Kelly, I love most desserts so it really doesn't matter to me which ones you choose. If you make it I will eat it.:)
I think I will make the first two, that was what I was leaning towards. :)
Ha! It sounds as though Tracey and I will fight over Slick's uneaten tarts!
Sweets? Well, since I think chocolate is my middle name - it is a family tradition you see...........all sweets are welcome in my home!
My ducks are now in order for me to give my full attention to the planning of the BBQ and preparations.
And the weather for the past few days has been glorious!
Gini...has it been hot over there? It was 98 here yesturday...weatherbug says it'll be the same today, getting hotter tomorrow. ICK!!!Quote:

I think I'll be shopping for some fans on Thursday if our a/c decides to die again, like last year. :mad:
Yes, Kelly, it has been hot here - but I have been so busy that I didn't get a chance to check the temperature.
I am just so happy to wake up to sunshine and not the June gloom all morning!
I leave in 10 days (counting today)!!!!! :) :) :)
YAY!!!!! :D :D :DQuote:

Hey, wait.... I need in the middle, I'm 11!
Hmm.... I'm staying for 4 nights.... my last name is .....
Wait, am I under that guideline since Gini has adoption papers drawn up? hahaha
Well Rascal said if I bring him shrimp like I did last year HE would adopt me... I guess we're covered Zip.
My sis in law taught me a new saying...........
It is called the five second rule..........have you ever heard of it?
I had the three year old here and my floor seemed to have grapes, raisins and all kinds of goodies on it.
My sis said - oh use the 5 second rule..........if it has been on the floor for five seconds or less - you can still eat it!
Guess when you guys have your food fight, I will put this rule into effect. HAHAHAHAHA
Rascal is thrilled that my next set of guests are ADULTS! He was really good around the kids though and even slept with them.
ADOPT? Wait a minute, I said I would hold a BBQ - I didn't say y'all could come and live with me :D :D :D
(certain person[s] excepted).;)
Now now Gini, Rascal & I were just kidding around. I'd never go anyway for too long without my own furkids. Besides, I have to get down to San Diego and find out what my whack-o brother is up to :rolleyes:
Hmmm, I'm staying 4 nights....guess I'd better bring some extra deodrant :eek:Quote:

Just got back from lunching with a couple of friends who have been down there before. They said not to miss Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, the Polo Lounge in the BH Hotel and to check out the NY Bagels place on Rodeo Drive. Maybe on Sunday if you think it's worth it.
To the Mystery Guest:
How many pets do you have and what kind??
My pets have fur and four legs!
I am so looking forward to the BBQ Backyard Bash!!!!
Well, I will take you there (Venice Beach) but there will be no drooling allowed in my car:pQuote:

Rodeo Drive is it? Leave your credit cards at home!!
Polo Lounge - in all of these years I have never been there - I do think you have to have your teeth whitened to be let in though!
Bagels for breakfast on Rodeo Drive?
As Richard would say DONE!
Hey - did anyone notice the post from our Mystery Guest???????
I think I know who you are but my lips are sealed......:D :D ;) ;)Quote:

Gini, funny you should say that about Venice Beach because my friend Debby (who is 65 BTW) told me that it's loaded with "hunky men.....gorgeous, sweaty, hunky men" and I quote that.:D
http://www.westland.net/beachcam/
Is this the infamous Venice Beach?
How cool! Slick, when are you going to be at Venice Beach? I want specific time and day so I can see you on this webcam!!!Quote:
I did that once with Terry when he was over in Switzerland. It was about noon there - about 4:00 am here - and I got up to see him wave at me. :D Of course I missed him, but I did see his boss pass by. It was so cool, almost as if I was there, so I must know when you are going to be in front of this camera. ;) :D
BTW, looks kinda foggy right now?
OK, these are the flavour of doggie treats I'm bringing down:
Veggie
Cheese
Beef Liver
Tuna
Apple Cinnamon
Peanut Butter
Milk Bone
What is your preference?? :D :D
Woof, Woof, Arf, Woof, Beef, Woof, Woof, Arf, Arf, Liver, Woof, Woof, Woof,
rrrowww grruff CHEESE wooo wooo griff PEANUT BUTTER rrrufff LIVER mmmrrrrrrow? (Emmitt the cat loves dog treats :rolleyes: )
