4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Oh my goodness, Gini!!! Wow, they say timing is everything and this just proves that point once again! The only thing I can think of is if it happened when everyone was there, just think of the help you would have had cleaning it up. I only say that because, of course, there is no way anyone could get hurt while at a California BBQ. It's just not allowed. Pants can get wine spilled on them, but no bodily injury is allowed to happen.

However, this is bad timing when thinking about the insurance. I'm sure your insurance company took a hit last year with your flood, and after this they may not like you very much. Funny, you pay them for years and years without a single minor claim..... Here's hoping the damage is minor and the main branch decides to hang on until the tree guys get there and cut it down safely.

That's right, in 2005, I even fell off the steps and the fire dept came to my rescue but I didn't get hurt!

Anyone have any "Before" pictures of said tree?

Still looking.... I thought I had one somewhere....

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Here's the base of the tree, with Sara modeling a slushie and Lut's apron gift.

Let's be glad it didn't fall on anyone

With my luck, The tree would have fallen just at the moment the knife was at my throat.....

Richard is turning into Joe Btfsplk, the hard-luck charater from the Li'l Abner comic strip.

The branch right above Sara's head is the one the splintered........it is now hanging from the tree with all of the extended branches from the main branch on the roof.

((((Mom))))

I'm so glad that you were OK, first. I was so worried when I got Staci's text....but relieved when I spoke with you...especially that 2nd time after talking to my mom.

Now, hopefully the tree will only lose that one part...no more.

Hugs, Kelly

Oh Richard- great minds think alike. Look what I answered in the other thread before I saw this one

[lbaker]

RandyK, I didn't know anyone else remembered Joe Btfsplk!! Many times (especially lately) I have identified with him ~ Oh Gini, I tried to call you last night but couldn't get through and that scared me. Stace, haven't had time to check all the pictures out but the ones I've seen - maaaahvelous my dear Love the ones of the flowers in Gini's yard... and so very fitting for a beautiful flower of a woman

[shais_mom]

while this pales in comparison to what happened in Gini's yard - Keegan had some excitement while I was gone I wanted everyone to know about my HERO!

I just went through every picture in everyones album and am struck by many impressions! BUT, the first one I kept coming back to was.... ZIPSTER! You look like a movie star My goodness you get prettier every time I see you and I surely hope I see you again real soon ~ all of you. The fun, the smiles, the glow from everyone ~ ah Gini, you did it again didn't you

[zippy-kat]

Aw, Laurie!


I, too, certainly hope to see you again real soon! I forget how long of a drive it is for you but is the labor day gathering at Findley a possibility for you?

[lbaker]

Let's see... 6 hrs driving to Phred in Eastern Ohio and Findley is west - Ohio is a rather big state. I would probably be better off flying into somewhere and then renting a car. Not out of the question but I've been asked by marketing to work at a meeting in San Fran the 2nd week in September [poor me ]. Won't know for another week or so, stupid immediate supervisor hasn't made up his mind if he can "spare" me. * if I'm so damned important I should be making more money * So we shall see. Oops, that was off subject - Gini, how is the tree work going? I checked the other thread but check in somewhere. Dang, it was good to talk to you last night!
