Pre=Poll questions for No. CA December mtg

[krazyaboutkatz]

Yes AmberLee, I was going to mention that my birthday is on Sun. Dec. 4th not on Dec. 6th.LOL

My vote is for a potluck at either my place or at Wolflady's because then we can all relax, eat great food, chat, and snuggle with some wonderful furkids.

Oh such choices! A dog show in San Mateo! I've never been to that one .... but then KAK's birthday too .... hmm. This will be FUN whatever we decide to do.

...my birthday is on Sun. Dec. 4th not on Dec. 6th.LOL ...

At one time I had a good memory. I wonder where I left it?

I suppose a potluck at my place would be ok. When I originally invited Gini, Richard and Kelly up in December, it was just for the wine tasting event, but I hadn't thought about what we were going to do on Sunday (or if everyone was heading back on Sunday). They are all staying at my place, so something down south would definitely be better for us as I hadn't planned on going anywhere up north. I can confirm with my guests to see if they have a preference.

OK, now I feel horrible about mentioning our wine plans. This was something Karen invited us to...and opened her home to 3 PTers...along with her already full house.

I don't want to impose upon Karen and Aaron's invite. I think we need to stick to planning something laid back (I'm still in recovery, I can't do a whole lot....and Gini will be driving both ways - unless she wants Richard or I to manipulate Scotty! )

I propose leaving Karen out of anything else at her house. She's already opening it up to three adults and that's a lot. AND VERY GRACIOUS OF HER and AARON.

I think maybe something at KAK's place would be nice...and laid back. We wont tire anyone out and if its a potluck, not even Tracey will be running ragged on her own bday.

Please don't think I/we are being exculsionary. This is something that was planned amoungst a group of people months ago. I'm not saying people aren't welcome, but its not really a pet talk thing, more of a common interest amoung friends. It sounds like everyone outside Gini, Richard, Karen, Aaron and myself aren't into wine anyway....

So, can we plan for something at KAK's beautiful outdoor area?? That way the pressure is off Karen/Aaron to entertain all weekend...unvoluntary...and it seems like its the best avenue for the people coming.

(((HUGS)))

This sounds fine with me. I can even rent out the club house but I think I can only rent it out for 4 hours and I'm not sure if this includes cleaning time too. I just have to pay a small fee and then write another check for a security deposit which I'll get back after it's inspected to make sure that it's clean and that everything is in place. They used to have a pool table and a ping pong table which could also be used when the clubhouse was rented out. I can also look into this if anyone would be interested in using these.

I never wanted to burden Karen and Aaron and AmberLee and I were just throwing a few suggestions out there since Kelly seemed to want to know what we should do and where we should meet on Sunday from the LA Meeting Thread. I hope that this thread hasn't upset anyone because this certainly wasn't the intention.

Well, Golly Gee.....here I was today planning my vacation time with my boss. Taking last two weeks of Nov and first week of Dec. I did entertain the thought of purchasing a plane ticket and surprising everyone by showing up at the winery and booking a hotel room for that night........what the h*** was I thinking!!!

[AmberLee]

Yes, we could organize something fun for Sunday. Let's brainstorm...but don't strain yourselves, please

Sorry to have stepped on toes, we thought we were following your suggestion.

I'm sorry that you feel this way Slick. It would have been nice to see you again.

This is the quote from the Mini LA Meeting Thread:

This is another reason why AmberLee started this thread.
