*sigh* Quite right Slick! Remember folks that us poor souls sitting at home are desperate for pictures!

I'm not going to be at home so I can't even phone in, but have a wonderful, wonderful time everybody!!

Me neither, as we are leaving for France tomorrow. If the weather stays nice, we might be away for a whole week!
Have FUN everybody!!!

How is the new job Randi? Do you like the work? OOPS, no AC, but that is common in Belgium too...

**Tubby & Peanut's Mom** · 07-17-2006, 08:03 PM

Slick, I'm really going to miss the fact that you won't be there this year, even though I won't be either. You have just been such a big part of the whole CA BBQ thing that I can't imagine one without you.

I, too, will be watching for uppydates and pictures.

Wine? Did someone mention wine? How's this - waaaahhhh....I wanna go to the BBQ....waaaahhhh......

**gini** · 07-17-2006, 08:45 PM

And how much I wish that all that were here last year and the years prior could be here.

It just won't be the same.

But it is a long way to travel just to wash your pants!!

Gini, the other night I had a dream that I surprised you by showing up on your doorstep on Saturday morning. All you had to say was "Well, you can stay for the day but I'm afraid there is no room at the Inn!" I woke up and giggled.

You have just been such a big part of the whole CA BBQ

Debbie, I beg to differ. If it wasn't for Gini this "whole CA BBQ" would just be a fantasy.

Slick, you won't believe this - but I actually thought about you just showing up here at the house as a wonderful surprise!!! How I wish it was true!

Hey - lets cheer up everyone - we're starting to sound like a dirge here. OK - so its smaller. OK - so some really cool and wonderful people won't be there and they will be missed and it will feel different. OK - so we don't have quite the frantic celebrating mood that permeated the 2005 thread -

we can still have fun

I won't see as many people - but I guess it means that I'll be able to spend more time with more individuals - that's a good thing.

**gini** · 07-18-2006, 11:02 AM

Julie, Husky's Mom and her hubby are coming as well as Randy K and Beverly.

You haven't met them.................and I am excited that they are coming this year!!

Oh, and Tricia (pnance) - she is attending too...........

Lots of new people...........

How fun! I remember how excited I was to meet people for the first time last year - also, believe or not, I think that your backyard is going to be cooler than mine this weekend - it's going to be getting close to 100F here in Portland.

I hope this doesn't come out wrong, but...the 1st BBQ was the smallest and was so fun! Each PT Meeting can be large or small, have the same attendees or have new ones...they're always fun and full of our PT pals. It shouldn't matter who isn't coming...you'll get to see new people or old friends! While we miss those that are unable to attend, we have our memories from the past and can make new ones in just a few days!! Yay!!

Oh...I think I've been neglecting my Kelly Kountdown!!!

Ready??

KELLY KOUNTDOWN: 4 DAYS TILL THE BBQ!!! FOUR days, that's sooooo great!!! (And really almost 3, its already 7:30 p over on this side!!) WOOHOO!!!

I hope everyone travels very safely and gets here in one piece. Cant wait to give you ALL hugs!!

Uppydate on Karen/Aaron (Wolflady & Scooters Dad)...they WILL be attending after all. I'm staying in a hotel room with them on Saturday night. I'll be spending a few hours with Karen/Aaron before the BBQ as we've only seen each other ONCE this year! It'll be nice. Anyway, we'll be there Saturday, they'll be in town till Sunday, and I don't have to work until Wednesday!! (I have to work Friday though, short staffing at work and I have NO vacation time as I've been ill again.)

But...it'll be worth it to be able to see my PT Family after that!

Can't wait!!!

Has it been a year already?

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

P.S.

There will be a toast for all of the PT group on Saturday......
fill your cups!

**mruffruff** · 07-19-2006, 05:33 AM

And this year I won't be arriving at 2:30 in the morning.

Maybe Slick can do it this year.

My plane leaves at 10:42 AM today, so I guess I'll be the first to arrive. Gini will have to put me to work.

Can't wait to see everyone.

**finn's mom** · 07-19-2006, 11:01 AM

Have fun, you guys! One day, I'm going to make it to a big gathering! Can't wait to see pictures!

Save your pennies, you have one year to save!

MrRuffruff is in the house.....

We picked her up to make sure she made it to the neighborhood safe and sound....

We have just poured the first slushie of the season/party (It's hard work to get rolling for a Ca BBQ...)

Let the games begin!
