It's Barbecue Time!!

[AmberLee]

I got a call from our training department today. A class I signed up for in January is being scheduled. So far it looks like it will start Mon. 21 July. At this moment the idea of driving 8 hours or so Sunday before a rather demanding class on Monday sounds overwhelming. So sorry about this, but I think I can't make it after all. Will keep you informed as the schedule isn't firm yet... but I need/want this class and it isn't given often.

This is not good news................I was so looking forward to meeting you Pauline!

Maybe AmberLee can fly down. I know that Karen said that she'll probably be staying longer than Sunday so I'm also thinking of flying. I may ride down and then fly back. I need to look into the price of a one way vs. a two way ticket. Since I also have family in San Clemente, I may try to visit them too.

I know that with some searching, that inexpensive airfares are available.

I hope that works out to be an option.

Oh no Pauline!

I hope something can work out.

Just wanted to keep this "alive". Anyone else in CA interested?

You and Gini and all are SO sweet... It doesn't look like it's going to work out this time, but surely it will be such a rousing success that it will happen again sometime, won't it?

Darn!

We understand though.

Yes!! I'm sure we'll do it again!! I've already invited Kona & Oreo's Mom to a future PT Meeting wherever it'll be.

I just had a wonderful long conversation with Kelly and we have come up with the final menu:

Here it is:

Richard's Salsa and assorted other munchies........
Margaritas
Soft Drinks
Water
Iced Tea

Hamburgers and all of the trimmings.
BBQ Chicken
Fruit Kabobs (don't those sound good?) Kelly will make them.
Corn on the Cob
Potato Salad

Homemade Ice Cream
Brownies (didn't discuss this with Kelly)

We also talked about everyone's schedule and we will each be p/ming others to coordinate times so everyone gets picked up on time - or dropped off in time for planes, trains..whatever........

I know that I am starting to get really excited about the
FIRST EVER CALIFORNIA PET TALK BARBECUE!

And because some people far more clever than I will be attending.....we might even be able to have some pictures the very same day! How about that?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Gini, the menu sounds great. It's making me hungry already. I'll be sure to take many pictures but since I'll be going to San Clemente to visit my family after the barbecue, I won't be able to post pics until Sun. July 27th or later. I'll have to look up the thread with pics after I get back. I can't wait to meet everyone. I'm sure we'll have a great time.

[NoahsMommy]

YAY!!! I can't wait! We are going to have a feast!!

We'll have the icecream makers going on Saturday morning. I'm so glad you suggested that, Gini! We got one for our wedding and love to use it, but forget to.

OK, how many days left??? Only 20/21!!!

For those attending Saturday, please let me know who wants to go to the L.A. zoo for the day.

Thanks!
