Third Annual California BBQ!!!

[Sus]

Unless she overslept...??! - But I don't think that she did! I would most likely have known by now!

Mr. Bush will be leaving Copenhagen later today. Danish press has been exhilerated (to an extent that I personally find embarassing!) by his visit. Yesterday the TV journalists - all brimming over with excitement - named him "the world's mightiest man"! Well, I don't know about that - but I do know that - mighty or not - the citizens of Fredensborg, where Bush is lunching with the Queen at noon today - shall probably be relieved when he is gone! Rumour has it that the whole town has been shut down for security reasons so that the shop keepers stand to loose a whole day's turnover! Strange, I say - since Bush's agents view Denmark as a "low-risk country"!?

Well, never mind! I am not a citizen of Fredensborg - so what do I care...? Bush's visit will not interfere with my washing all my blankets today, I think

And by the way - you can just forget all about exchanging GWB for Randi!!! You can keep your Bushwhacker (sorry, couldn't resist!) to yourself! Randi is much loved here and GWB would never feel comfortable in a country as small as this! (We're short on new horizons to conquor here!! Hehe..)

Well, in conclusion.. Happy birthday, George! And for all of you barbecuers: I wish you all a great barbecue!! (I'm not envious, I'm not envious, I'm not... ) And for you Randi: Have a great vacation and a great time and a safe journey!!! I'm thrilled for you!

Lots of love,
Sus and Bella

Exactly this time next week, I'll be arriving at Vanc. Int. Airport with bags in hand (and probably under my eyes, too!). This is all way too exciting.

RANDI'S ON HER WAY!!!!!

Lut, I sure wish you could make it as well. Would so love to meet you one day.

To add to the animal count I would be bringing:
6 dogs
7 cats (well, 5 cats and two kittens)
1 snake

......and myself, Laurie the viper

Now, now, behave Laurie. Actually I thought Gini was the viper....but what they hay, what's wrong with a whole next of vipers?

Have a safe trip Randi!!! I can only imagine the excitement you are feeling, so sleeping on the plane would be out of the question for me. Can't wait to meet you!

Gosh, I just can not believe it's the 6th already and Randi is on her way! Time sure does fly these days...

[Edwina's Secretary]

Randi is due in at 7:30p California time. If she makes her Chicago connection she will be on the last leg of her journey in about 5 hours.

What a long trip!

How exciting for all of you! Just think, Gini, if Scott and I had been able to come (and for those of you who didn't know it, we were trying HARD to work it out up until yesterday), I could have added 4 dogs, 2 cats and 2 Cockatiels to the mix! What a fun place your house would have been!!!

[luckies4me]

GUESS WHAT EVERYONE?????????? I got the time off, so count me in. Whooo hoooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

Can you tell I'm excited. Oh man, you don't know how bad I need a VACATION! And to be able to spend that time with so many awesome Pet Talkers definitely brings a smile to my face. I can't wait to meet all of you!

[luckies4me]

Oh no, you wouldn't want all of my crew being there. Now, lets count, hehe.

1 puppy- yes, I got a new puppy. Whiskey- SB/BC mix
4 cats
1 hedgehog
11 rats
4 gerbils
1 hamster

I don't think I'm forgetting anything...you can't really take fish to a trip like this lol.

Oh Logan, so we will have both to look at the moon in that night and wish we were there

[Logan]

I know it, Barbara. I swear, we will get there, one day!!!

Hey Luckies - glad things worked out and that you can make it. It will be good to have another web-footed Oregonian there.

So countdown wise - about 230 hours until the party - (we'll be knocking on the door at 6:00am - right Gini? )

You may be the mystery guest but remember...

The Ginster lives a little way down the street....I could go down to her house and sit on her front porch until she squeals...

Well, that is when the first slide show starts. It is a good time to show up so that you and your husband can get a front row seat!

Cass, I am happy that this is working out for you! Bring pictures.
