Yippee - good news - our friends are getting marrried on July 8th, so the 22nd is free and clear for us to join the party

We know that the date is solid because they reserved their location yesterday - they are going to get married at a vineyard - how cool.

HOORAY!!! Even the box of detergent I bought for your pants jumped up and down!! This works out great for everyone, but especially all of us!!

Yay! It just wouldn't be the same without you and Byron there. I had so much fun meeting you last year and I'm excited about seeing you two again this year.

Any new ideas? How can I participate again this year? If anybody has an idea, say so please

ps. I feel oh so stupid now, but can somebody please explain what you all mean by "peeps" ?? No joking, I have no idea what it might be.

Peeps are pieces of marshmallow cut into shapes of little chicks (hence "peeps") or bunny rabbits coated with sugar and usually dyed a pale blue or yellow and are very popular around Easter time. Very fattening!

Gini, again with an appaling lack of funds this year, I can (as usual) read about the BBQ on PT. Someday if I hit the lottery I might be able to make it. However this year Moosmom and myself are making tentative plans to meet me here in Pittsburgh. A very mini PT meeting!

Actually peeps are not just "pale blue or yellow" they are a dayglow bright pink, yellow or weird. Most people either hate them or love them (they are rather disgustingly sweet). I like them very, very stale. They are also fun to "blow up" in a microwave For some reason only another PetTalker would understand, several of us (without prior planning mind you) bought some at Easter and saved them to take to the BBQ last year. Don't even try to understand that one

Lut, here is the website for Peeps. http://www.marshmallowpeeps.com/ Click on the "click here to visit our current site" and you will see Peepsville! OMG, there's a Peepsville? Then if you look at the bottom of the page and click on "Easter" you will see packages of the real thing. If you click on "Halloween" you will see they have "cocoa cats."

I'm, personally,not a big fan of peeps, so I never knew there were so many, and who would have ever thunk there was a Peepsville? But some of them look downright disgusting, like the green Christmas trees - eeeewwwwww - who wants to eat an overly sweet green Christmas tree. Kind of like green beer to me - just the though of it and I turn green.

The dayglo pink bunnies are my FAVORITES! I swear, they probably even glow in the dark (although I've never personally tested this theory).

OK, so now I'm surfing "Peepsville" and came across THIS!

Mount Peepsmore!

Peeps Beach

Peeps Falls ... and

Skiing Peeps!

They actually come in other holidays then the bunnies and chicks. I sent Gini 3 packages of Christmas ones. And I don't have a pkg right now but I don't know how fattening they are b/c marshmellows themselves aren't that high in fat. Sugar yes but not fat.

Unfortuately, being diabetic I can't eat them. Darn!
