4th Annual Pet Talk Calif. Bbq

[NoahsMommy]

Just got off the phone with Gini and Mary.. Staci's flight may be arriving early so they are getting ready to book (another local, old timers expression) They sound maaavelous dahlings... and all systems are Go!! Yipppeee!!!
L

So YOU'RE the one talking to my mom when I was trying to call her, huh? Its OK, you're worth sharing her with! ((((Hugs))))

I too just got off the phone with Gini and Mary. Its so great the Mary is out here and she had a safe, uneventful flight! She didn't have to WAIT for Gini, isn't that great!?!? And we'll have all the way till Sunday to catch up...last year she had to leave too quickly for our liking.

Know what they were doing??? Making Bailey's!!! haha

Well, Staci's in the air RIGHT NOW!! YIPPEE!!! I left her a message on her cell, she's going to get a kick out of me. I'm so excited she's going to be here.

THEN, Tonya's coming too!!! Tomorrow!!! YIPPEE x 2!!

THEN, Karen/Aaron will be here Friday too!!!! YIPPEE again!!

Do we need another Kountdown?? Yes....only 2, count 'em, TWO DAYS LEFT!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

Yes....only 2, count 'em, TWO DAYS LEFT!!!!! WOOHOO!!!!

OK, beat me with a wet noodle, but I've GOTTA say sumpin ...

Have you changed /picked a different "special" color for your posts lately???

I always have some "trouble" with a few of the colors;
but I never had to just give up trying to read yours till lately ...

Remember - I'm red/green COLOR BLIND ...
and have NO idea what your current color is called ...
but it's Soooooo FAINT (light) and so close to the white background ...
I really can't read most of it.

Any Chance you could select a slightly DARKER hue of this color?

YOU don't do it, but someone else likes to use YELLOW ...
now talk about Invisible Ink ....

I really don't want to miss any of your BBQ Bulletins!

Thanks for saying something. I'm not color blind; just good-old-fashioned OLD eyes. I can't see the soft pink at all either. and don't want to miss ANYTHING from this weekend! Wish I could be there, but my wallet can't take another hit.

EDIT: Ooh! I just discovered a trick! If you highlight Kelly's message it will show up bold black and very readable!

Well, don't THAT beat it all wiffa stick!

That "sorta" works for me ...
If I *mouse-over* like I was going to copy her text -
it DOES become bold - but sure not "black".
The color DOES "darken" - so it shows up better against the background ...
but I STILL have to "strain" to read it.

Could I suggest a BLUE ...
or we have some lovely shades of PURPLE ...

[NoahsMommy]

She's HERE, She's HERE!!!! Staci texted me at 7:59 (CA time) saying they'e waiting for her bags and that they (airplane/captain) had made good time! They sure did!

Welcome to Callie again, Stace! I can't wait to give you a HUGE hug, darling!!

Love you!

xoxoxoxo

Kelly

Sorry guys, I didn't even think about the pink being so light! I'll change it all to teal.

[Cinder & Smoke]

Meanwhile ...

back at LAX ...

The Flight Tracker site said they landed at 10:35 PM Eastern time ...

Hopefully they found an empty gate to park da Bus at
and everybody's OFF the plane by now.
We'll hope most of Staci's LUGGAGE hopped on the same flight she did - and that they've "found" it by now.

No Answer on her cell dinger ... wonder if they're into the BOOZE already?

[NoahsMommy]

No Answer on her cell dinger ...

Same here. I just figured it was so LOUD at LAX, she cannot hear the phone ringing, maybe?

I left her a mushy message and texted her back. Hopefully she'll see us soon!

[shais_mom]

I'M HERE!
We have laughed - smoozled with kitties- eaten fabulous ham sandwhiches - gossiped- Miss heard each other - called Phred twice - and am ready to hit the hay.
I have a pleasant uneventful flight -
it was so nice -
nope I couldn't hear the phone ringing - Sorry!

[gini]

Shhhh, keep it down now.............Mary and Staci are sound asleep..............

No, no booze tonight Phred..............just lots of giggling.

See you in the morning zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!

xxoo

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Thanks for all the uppydates guys, keep 'em coming!

[gini]

We are on the way to the airport on Wednesday. Don't ever give this
boy a camera to hold for you.



Mary has arrived!!!

[gini]

Rascal just loves Mary!



Rascal tucks his head under Mary's arm.........I told Mary he looked like
he was breast feeding - and we both had a good laugh.

[gini]

Staci's here now too!!

Two down - one more to go today...............

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

Wow, Mary, talk about arriving in style!!! Could your trip this year have been any more different than last year!

Staci, you've got curls! Looks nice.

Richard, I see you out did yourself and got all duded up for the arriving guests. Next time get a picture of Gini while you're at it. Not fair to leave out the hostess with the mostess.
