Sadly, the Second Annual California BBQ weekend
has come to a close.

Please everyone, say a little prayer that Slick and Zip
have a safe journey back to their homes.

And as Richard said, just think,
it is only 362 days until
the THIRD ANNUAL CALIFORNIA BBQ!!!!!

It ain't *over* till ALL the Pix are Posted!

I'm still grinning from the surprise phone call I got from Tonya and the gang on Sunday.

I got to talk to gini, slick, laurie, richard, and of course Tonya!
Seems like there was someone else but I can't remember for sure! I was so excited to have not one, but a crowd of people to talk to, I chattered like an excited chipmunk. When you go days without talking to other people, something like this means so much!!

Richard you sound just like Arnold S.

THANK YOU ALL! AND ESPECIALLY TONYA!

To spoil all of our pets is one thing..........but to be spoiled with presents too is just overwhelming.

I have to tell you that when I opened up my own package from KAK - Tracey - that I got big tears in my eyes.

Instantly you could tell that she had made our visors and with great care and attention to detail. My own visor has a big FAT ORANGE kitty grinning away, right in the front.

I know Tracey, that when the dust settles you will be receiving many thank you messages from everyone.

Here is my public thank you, but you will receive a note from me as well.

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

Yes, KAK did such a wonderful job on the visors, and I just had to thank KAK, Kelly and Slick again for the wonderful gift bags they prepared! Thank you also to Zippy for the furry mice! The furkids have officially been spoiled!!

**hugs**

I have a little wooden wagon in my dining room that is filled with the kids toys.

Tonya put some furry mice in there - I saw her do it - none were spilled on the floor.

Well, this morning there are little furry mice all over my dining room floor and the candlesticks on the dining room table were dumped over.

Guess while we were sleeping the kids had their own PARTEE!!

That's too cute, Gini! Last night when Annie and Rascal were cuddling was just precious!!

I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing weekend this was! Unforgettable!! I've met new people and spent time with the ones I already knew and it was glorious! Yesturday was the most fun I've had in quite a while...Slick, Tonya! I love you girls!!

I'll post my pictures as soon as I can get them put on a picture CD. (Friday or Saturday)

Trac, I love the visor, Pez dispenser and plaque so much! My furkids LOVE, LOVE, LOVE their toys from Auntie Tonya, Auntie Slick and Auntie Tracey. They made out like bandits.

Gin, thanks so much for making this weekend and these meetings possible. It was so much fun!!

Love, Kelly

Tequila shortage hits Los Angeles

Liquor distibutors in the Los Angeles areas have reported a
shortage of tequila in the outlying areas. Although the exact causes of such shortage are still unknown, bottles began to fly off the shelf on Wednesday of last week.

Authorities also have seen a rise in the sales of green slushie mix.

Alcohol Beverage Control agent, Al Havanother told Reuters that there was no significant rise in drunk driving arrests, violence or crime in the area, but he did note, "There was a hell of alot of carrying on in the area between Sunset and Wilshire Boulevard.
It happened the same time last year in the same area......I really don't know what is going on."

City officials are still investigating and tequila processing plants have stepped up production to make up for the shortage.

I'm not a girly man, that's why!!



It was a hoot to talk to you too!

The BBQ and the whole weekend was something that I will remember for a long time.

Thanks to Gini for opening up her home.
Laurie, Slick and Tonya for making the trip.
Rascal, Annie and Emma for being entertainment.
To all the people who took and made the calls.
To Wolflady, KAK, NM and ES.. You guys rock!!
The hubbies who put up with you
To everyone that checked in on us while we were carrying on..
You were ALL there in spirit.....

Thanks to Karen and Paul for making PT possible-and giving us a chance to meet each other.

To Gini's neighbor's---They did not call the police.

I tried to count all the times we laughed, but Gini said it best....

She put her thumb and forefinger on her chin and said, "I have been laughing so much my jaw hurts...."

Thank you Mario!!!

And last but not least.....................................


Gini's blender.

There has never been a vessel that has dispensed so much laughter, mirth, giggles and green and red slushies!!


I'll remember who I missed when the alcohol wears off!!!
