Scuse me - but Laurie and Slick - you would fly all of this way and stay for ONE whole day. And then leave me to go back to work on Monday?

What kind of a party will that be? It sounds like a great excuse for me to take some work time off too - and then plan some fun things to do.

Now, Kelly, I love you dearly, but werent' you the one that told me you would be at my house at 8AM? last year? I was up at the crack of dawn - showered - clean - ready and waiting ..........and the phone rang - what time was that???? Oh, you all slept in huh? And I was up and waiting at 8AM for a bunch of people that I had never met before............(I think I will sleep at your house)
or better yet - maybe you all should all come and sleep at mine.

So don't you go making plans for trips to Long Beach and other parts at least not on the actual BBQ day - But the day before is good - or Monday after is good too.............

Start thinking about what you want to eat...........not too soon to talk about food is it???

I remember last year the reason we had chicken was because Lut asked for it. Well, guess that was last year............wish she could have come.
