My neighbor said to me - now, let me get this straight - you are having a large barbecue in July - and you have NEVER MET any of these people. YUP! She got it right.

Tell her you're a member of a little known society of Planetary Animal Lovers and this is a "Gathering" -
BTW - HI, Rascal!

PS - Didn't a lot of us exchange pics of ourselves at Christmas?

[NoahsMommy]

This is going to be so much fun!!!!!

As far as coordinating, I guess that would be me. Its been fun so far!

Gini,
Thanks again so much for offering up your home! I don't want you to have to provide all the food. David and I are going to help too, OK? He'll most definitely help with the food prep too. We really should get together prior, don't you think?

Ideas? I want to hear them!!!

I agree, if you are traveling, please don't worry about bringing food.

Kelly, Gini - when you get a chance could you send me your email addresses? I may have them in my address book from Christmas, but I don't know for sure. BTW, Gini, sorry to hear the flu got you down. I had recurring bouts from Dec thru Mar - it sucks (sorry, no better way to express it )

Speaking of all the meetings..

is this still going to happen? Nothing has been said in a long time

[mugsy]

I'm sure you guys will have as much fun as we have in Findlay! We will have our 3rd meeting the week before yours will happen. I love the T-shirt idea.....hmmmmm......

[TheAntiPam]

I'm still anxiously awaiting this day - I wrote this in INK in my calendar, so I will be there!

[NoahsMommy]

Yay!!! Can't wait!!!

[Nomilynn]

Well.. here's the thing..

I've been waiting on whether or not to say anything about this, because I still don't have an answer. The only one who has any clue is Kelly, because she offered to pick me up from the airport

I'm TRYING to convince my parents to let me come to this meeting. I've talked to my dad extensively about it, and he's even emailed back and forth with Kelly a couple times. He seems comfortable with the idea, but when I asked him last night he mentioned that he would feel better if my mom came with me. Which would be fine.. my mom is cool I may be 22, but I'm his only child/daughter and he worries. Plus, he would be buying my plane ticket, so I kind of have to have his permission!

Anyway, I really would like to come to this. I've asked that a ticket down there be my university graduation gift. Hopefully it will all work out!

I just double checked and realized (I probably didn't think much about it before all hell broke out at work) that July 2 is a Wednesday! OMIGOD! I may not be able to get away
Am I reading the date wrong - I kind of doubt it.
To be continued, and maybe something good will happen and I can get the time off. With the upcoming move and all, it doesn't look very promising

July 20th, a Sunday. Not July 2. I'll probably take the train up from San Diego or maybe fly into LA then take the train down to visit my brother in Mission Beach. I'll figure it out as we get closer.

See what job stress does - totally missed the "0". Well allrighty then - I plan to be there!!!

Had to come back and add:
GOOD GREIF! How long has this thread read July "20"? Tell me it was just changed !

Yep, definitely too much stress - I think I need this BBQ!!!!

[wolflady]

Yay! I'm really looking forward to this and am still planning on coming down and staying with you, Kelly, if that's alright. If you all need anything, do not hesitate to let me know! I'm more than happy to help in the preparations and all! I haven't been on PT in a long time, so someone will have to keep me updated on what's going on here. Hopefully I will find a job soon and will be in better spirits. In any case, this BBQ will be great! Gini, potato salad sounds fabulous! Does anyone like crab salad? I make a pretty good one!
**hugs**

Of course it is! I can't wait!! I'm sure you and Aaron wont have time to miss Marius, Scooter or Noah's twin ( ) with all five of our fuzzballs staring at you!!!

After the wonderful experience of meeting Nicole and Shane, I am getting excited about the July 20th barbecue.

I know that all of us are sorry that Lut and her family will not be able to visit this year. I hope that after her surgery she will be pain free and we can look forward to a visit next year.

But I wanted everyone to know that I am still planning on having the barbecue on July 20th!

Richard, I will p/m you back - thanks for your generous offer!

Kelly and David, I will be in touch with you too.

Laurie, I can pick you up from the airport, train station, however you would like to plan your trip.

I have a guest room with a queen hide-a-bed (a comfortable one)
and the first person who speaks up - gets it!

I hope as many people as possible are able to come......just look how much fun everyone had in Ohio!

Karen and Paul, aren't you guys just the best for giving us all so many new friends?

[TheAntiPam]

I'm available too for transport or car pool or whatever - I'm not too far from Gini so count me in to help!

I'm looking forward to this very much! We'll sure miss Lut and family, but this is going to be FUN!!!
