Right now we're considering the animal friendly courtyard where Meowmie works. It's big enough for all of us, has trees & grass, and it also has a few picnic tables. Spencer is thinking about cutting a deal with the owners of The Eatery to use their kitchen. Nothing is definite on the location but I'll keep you updated. Another possibility is the Horse Park where we can visit some of our horsie friends. If any of you have a preference, post in and let us know.

Dear Groucho,

The courtyard sounds lovely. I think it would be very nice to visit the horsies if time permits. It would be very kind of your friends to let us use their kitchen too. Which ever one works out the best.

Purrs,
Cassie

I am posting on behalf of CoPilot Pinot. She will have to hold off on her RSVP until she's feeling better. Right now she's in no condition to travel. I'll keep her updated and she'll hopefully be back in her seat for the trip.

Hi Pinot,
I just saw your Meowmie's message. Are you okay? Is there anything your Catmobile friends can do for you? We're looking forward to your ace co-piloting skills and your company for the Feast. Please let us know how you're doing, okay?

Your friend,
Groucho

Pinot's a bit better today; we'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Hi fellow kitties,
First of all, how are you feeling Pinot? I hope you're better and will be joining us for the Great Haggis Feast next week.

Well, it looks like we may have to do our celebration somewhere else. Conditions in Trenton and many parts of New Jersey are not good. There has been so much rain that there's lots of floods, roads are closed and getting around the area is very hard. Part of a major highway here collapsed from the floods, there are a lot of detours because the floods are so bad. Yesterday morning one of Meowmie's friends at work had to leave because where she lives was being evacuated. The news reports are saying even more rain is on the way.

If anyone has a suggestion or an idea of where we can celebrate, please post in. Our celebration will not be cancelled!

Your friend,
Groucho

How about Ann Arbor? The Haggis in a Hurry Shoppe here was already planning a local celebration for those who can't get to Trenton.. and the Mayor and City Council have already declared September to be Official Haggis MONTH here!

Oh thank you, Auntie Phesina! This celebration is something that we simply cannot pass up. Travel plans will have to be made within the next few days since the Great Haggis Feast is a week from tomorrow. If we move it to Ann Arbor everybody can come. Still no word from Pinot if she can make it so I'll call Cassie to see if she's our stand-by copilot.

What do all of you think about this, fellow kitties? This is such a kind and thoughtful offer. Please check in within the next 2 or 3 days, we have plans to make!

Sending you purrs and kitty hugs, Auntie Phesina
