4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Hee Hee I think we should call them at 6am tomorrow morning......

6:00 am Laurie's time would be good.

Speaking of phone calls, I missed a call last night on my cell phone. Somebody with a 954 area code. Anybody I know?

Mary, I'm SO glad you made it easily this year with no street roaming involved. However, just think of the excitement and drama you missed out on this year. Maybe you'll want to take a roam around the neighborhood in the wee hours......just for old time's sake?

Another of the Chicks is winging her way westward ...

Delta and two of the Flight Trackers all say Staci's Big Byrd took off from
Columbus at 6:22 pm and headed off towards the left coast.

She's due to land at Los Angeles (LAX) about 7:38 pm CALIFORNIA time
or 10:38 pm EASTERN time. Se's on Delta Airlines flight 1451.

Zippy-Kat has a two-step adventure scheduled for tomorrow.

She gets on Southwest Airlines flight 690 at 10:25 am (Friday) in Midland-Odessa, TX
and appears to fly backwards in a time zone shift - arriving in El Paso, TX at 10:15 am - 10 minutes before she left!

After an hour and a half layover, she gets on Southwest flight 305 at 11:50 am
for the 2 hour hop over to Los Angeles (LAX) - arriving 12:50 pm CALIFORNIA time
or 3:50 pm Eastern time.

Yuns all Fly Safe!!

So YOU'RE the one talking to my mom when I was trying to call her, huh? Its OK, you're worth sharing her with! ((((Hugs))))

I too just got off the phone with Gini and Mary. Its so great the Mary is out here and she had a safe, uneventful flight! She didn't have to WAIT for Gini, isn't that great!?!? And we'll have all the way till Sunday to catch up...last year she had to leave too quickly for our liking.

Know what they were doing??? Making Bailey's!!! haha

Well, Staci's in the air RIGHT NOW!! YIPPEE!!! I left her a message on her cell, she's going to get a kick out of me. I'm so excited she's going to be here.

THEN, Tonya's coming too!!! Tomorrow!!! YIPPEE x 2!!

THEN, Karen/Aaron will be here Friday too!!!! YIPPEE again!!

OK, beat me with a wet noodle, but I've GOTTA say sumpin ...

Have you changed /picked a different "special" color for your posts lately???

I always have some "trouble" with a few of the colors;
but I never had to just give up trying to read yours till lately ...

Remember - I'm red/green COLOR BLIND ...
and have NO idea what your current color is called ...
but it's Soooooo FAINT (light) and so close to the white background ...
I really can't read most of it.

Any Chance you could select a slightly DARKER hue of this color?

YOU don't do it, but someone else likes to use YELLOW ...
now talk about Invisible Ink ....

I really don't want to miss any of your BBQ Bulletins!

We promise! Pictures!!

Thanks for saying something. I'm not color blind; just good-old-fashioned OLD eyes. I can't see the soft pink at all either. and don't want to miss ANYTHING from this weekend! Wish I could be there, but my wallet can't take another hit.

EDIT: Ooh! I just discovered a trick! If you highlight Kelly's message it will show up bold black and very readable!

Well, don't THAT beat it all wiffa stick!

That "sorta" works for me ...
If I *mouse-over* like I was going to copy her text -
it DOES become bold - but sure not "black".
The color DOES "darken" - so it shows up better against the background ...
but I STILL have to "strain" to read it.

Could I suggest a BLUE ...
or we have some lovely shades of PURPLE ...

Well this year my flight here was about 4 1/2 hours - non stop. No bugs this time. But I leave tomorrow nite so we'll see about on the way home.

I had this great post last nite but it wouldn't "take".
I'll repeat the first part of it tho b/c it was too cute.

T'was 8:00pm the nite after the PetTalk BBQ and not a creature was stirring except a New Mexican and Ohioan.
Gini and Kelly were taking naps and that left Tonya and I to amuse ourselves.
Soon after 830 tho Gini got up and Kelly woke up and we went out to a fabulous dinner at Maggiano's.
Today is shopping

[gini]

It is a sad day - in less than 25 minutes we will be leaving for the airport to drop off Tonya.

Staci, Kelly and Tonya have been staying here - and it has been so much fun having my "girls" with me.

Rascal won't leave them alone!! Annie got into the act and Staci said that she was able to touch Emma's tail.........WOW!

[Barbara]

We are very sorry Gini- but we hope after partying for days you all have more time to upload the pics
