Gini

OMG Richard, I forgot all about the STFU neighbours. How could that have slipped my mind. I remember when they yelled that out.

Catland, there are so many incidents that took place before, during and after the BBQs. I have many many pictures of the 2 that I attended and a couple of Gini washing your pants in the kitchen sink. I wonder if there is going to be a big BBQ with Phred up at the Rainbow Bridge. Hell, why not eh???

I'm in Lost Angeles now staying at the Wilshire Hotel. Awesome place and they can't do enough for me. I even have a goldfish in my room to take care of and his name is Fred.

Hey Richard I took a walk down to the Grove this afternoon and walked around remembering when Gini was with me. Wish you were here.

Aww, slick, glad you have someone to look after wile you are there! And I bet Fred the goldfish isn't even half as loud as Miss Yodee! Do extend our Pet Talk greeting/condolences to the family, please! And enjoy the LA weather - even in November it is pretty nice!

Slick, I stayed at the Wilshire several decades ago when I was there for some music auditions. Nice place!

HUGS to you and everyone there.

Catty, I think you must be thinking of the Beverly Hills Wilshire??? That's the $400/night one. I'm on Wilshire but apparently this hotel building used to be a medial building until about 4 years ago. It's really awesome, great room, great staff, and they even provide a free bicycle for guests to use.

Oh Slick, it’s such a sad occasion and I’m sure LA brings back many memories - but I’m glad you’re attending Gini’s funeral. Kelly is, too, right? Have you met her brother/family/neighbor yet? Please give my heartfelt condolences to them all.

Is anyone arranging flowers for Gini’s funeral? I would like to give a contribution.

(((hugs)))

I wish I could make it too.....

Slick, please give Pam a huge hug (Pam lived across the street from Gini and was her partner in crime) for me.

---------

There was Gini's drain in the shower, Mary the Bag Lady Goes to California, Gini's Ice Cube Trays and the Gini's Sightseeing and Tour Excursions, Onion Rings!!!!!!

The more I sit back and think about some of the happenings and stories from the BBQs I laugh...It was too much fun to sit back and be sad about them.

--------

Gini had asked me to help her out in some of the planning of the BBQs and even with that serious work at hand, we'd be goofing off while we did it.

We had gone to Costco to pick up some booze and other stuff for the BBQ....We had basket full of alcohol, mixers, and party plates/cups.

She and I were being boisterous and a young woman turned around and looked at us and the contents of our basket. She wrinkled up her face and turned around, apparently disgusted by what we were buying.

I looked at G and said in a loud voice, "THAT should keep us drunk all weekend......."

The woman turned back around to get a look at us and the basket.....again.

We laughed all the way back to her house........

-------------

You could stuff all the monkeys in the world into a barrel and they probably wouldn't match the fun that woman was capable of.........................

I found it! The Gini memorial page is now in existence at http://gini.muchloved.com - one can post thoughts, memories, stories - and you do need to provide your name and email address at the end, I "added a thought" to be sure of the process.

I looked for an obituary, where it might list Gini's family's preference if they want donations in lieu of flowers or anything, but just found a simple one - only two sentences, that didn't say anything about that.
