Second Annual California BBQ-July

[gini]

Oh, Logan, and how we wish that you could join us.

I know that I am really getting excited about this Second Annual!

[NoahsMommy]

I wish you could come too, Logan.

Kelly Kountdown:

BBQ: 15 days

Tonya, Karen, Aaron & Tracey's arrival: 14 days

Slick's arrival: 13 days

Oh my! Its getting so close! Next week, we'll be in single digit numbers!!!

Anyone else wanna come to Disneyland? Laurie, how long will you be staying? Richard? Gini?? Rascal (you can hide in my purse)?? Mystery Guest??

[slick]

Oh My, 13 days??? Maybe these shaving cuts will heal by then???

To the Mystery Guest:
How many pets do you have and what kind??

I need to make sure I have one surprise package per pet.

PS: I think Laurie is flying in on Sat the 24th, Laurie correct me if I'm wrong.

Gini: I don't need to pack anything "dressy" do I?

BTW: I called the airline yesterday to change my departure from LA from the 30th to the 27th. Turns out I leave LA at 9:45am. Will I make it after being in Disneyland til midnight??

Correcto-mundo Slick on my arrival, Sat morn at 10:15. I'm not into doing the Disney thing so will probably leave Monday am (If Gini can put up with me that long, maybe Sunday eve). Not sure where I'm going, bro is moving the same time to Imperial Beach instead of Mission Beach where I thought he would be. But that's OK.. I've always relied on the kindness of strangers. I can't bring a bunch of stuff on the plane so treats etc will have to be limited. doG willin' and the crik don't rise I'll have a surprise or two. See ya soon By the way Gini, I've lost your phone number.. call me? Tonya, can you find a picture of Sophie for me? I want one for my "Wall of Fame". Drake, Angus and Binx are there, not to mention my own loves

I was shopping at Drug Barn today and I decided to look in their pet section because they sometimes have some great deals. Well they sure did. Just when I thought I was finished, I saw some very cute things for all the hoomans. I think I've gone overboard on the gifts this year. Oh well, it's only once a year.

Everyone flying back will need to be sure to leave enough room in your suitcases for all of the goodies.

[slick]

KAK: that's very kind of you but I must admit that I wasn't planning on buying anything for the hooman crowd because I don't know any of you or your likes and dislikes. Not only that but financially, I just could not afford it. Instead, I will wait for the next Pet Talk Gift Exchange.

Sure hope that's OK with everyone.

Slick, don't worry no one expects gifts. The gifts are all pet related and not really personal and very inexpensive.

[gini]

Bless you all. Most of you will have come quite a distance and at a great expense to be here..........airfare, gasoline expense, hotel expense. NO ONE EXPECTS PRESENTS ---- what is the most imporant is your presence! And that is what I am looking foward to...........a group of people who adore and love their pets, all together in my back yard!

Rascal, Annie and Emma feel the same way!

[slick]

Laurie:

Name and gender of your cones please. Thanks.

OK, I just read through all 8 pages of last year's BBQ thread. Can you tell I'm excited???

[lbaker]

Slick, my cone boys Klark & Kent are staying home and watching over the house. They love to play horse shoes. If I remember correctly Richards AKA is Chauncey but that was after a few of his Slushies so maybe I'm just halucinating Oh my gosh my golly, I'm sooo excited

[NoahsMommy]

ha ha! I forgot about Chancey!!!

I'm getting so excited!! I can't believe there are more than twice as many pages for this year....too fun!

Is it time yet?????

I have a question...I'm planning on making two tarts on Saturday morning. Any one NOT like the following??

How about a vote, just give me two that sound good to you:
*Mixed summer fruit tart
*Strawberry and Lemon Curd tart
*Grape tart
*Coconut cream tart
*Berry/Chocolate tart

Kelly Kountdown: 13 days until the BBQ (all other arrivals)

Tonya, Karen, Aaron & Tacey's arrival: 12 days

Slick's arrival: 11 days

Eeeep....I'd better get to work!! Lots to do, time is going too fast now!! Yay!!

[zippy-kat]

Kelly, I'm torn! The only one that doesn't really appeal to me is grape - the rest sound absolutely yummy!

I'm thinking of bringing chocolate cookies. I guess I'm going to bake them very late the night before (unless I can talk my mom into getting up early and baking them the day of departure muwhaha). I just hope they fare the plain ride.

[lbaker]

Kelly, if I would HAVE to narrow it down I would have to pick your first two............

[slick]

I never developed the taste for desserts and don't eat pies or cookies or cakes or anything else with sugar so my piece can go the highest bidder.

I'll stick to the slushies

BTW: what plans do we have for Sunday?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Kelly, I love most desserts so it really doesn't matter to me which ones you choose. If you make it I will eat it.
