2nd Annual Southern Cal RU, July 8th 2006

Lol! Fiona keeps asking the same thing. I am afraid that it will be an early morning for me on that day. I fully expect to be eating breakfaxt in Temecula (No Don, not at your house) because the giant child will explode if she has to wait too much longer.
Janice

hiya frogsrus,

Please come for breakfast.....we don't want any explosions we can avoid....lol.

best to you,
don

Is it July 8th yet? I'm getting tired of waiting. lol, hope I don't have to work that day.
Mark

quit.....lol.

I need a smoked fish fix, and while all that chocolate is circulating at least I can be comforted to know that there is a tasty hunk of smoked gamefish to gnaw on....lol.

Look forward to seeing you again Mark,
don

Don, I'll hit Farmers market next week and pick some up, just for you. lol
Mark

Woohoo!

I'm a huge fan of smoked fish, which will be known by me as the "Chocolate Alternative"....lol.

It will be good to see you again amigo,
don

Darn it...can't make the RU...gotta be at a birthday party. Going to miss you guys and the good food.

Oh know Louise!!!
We're going to miss you BIG time. I'm even bring Jasperdale so he can meet you too.

I'm going to miss my grandson's 4th B-day party that day too...but this RU is just too much fun to miss for me. My DH will go to the party for the 2 of us. My DD completely understands my plans. :-)

Please reconsider. lol
Donna

Weegy12, say it ain't so!!!

I would miss my OWN birthday party for this RU!! LOL Of cousrse I've had plenty of birthdays anyhow. Jo

Awwwww guys, it's my cousin's baby's first birthday party and I can't miss it. My aunt would never forgive me! I'm really disappointed about missing this wonderful RU. Take lots of pics for me!

Uncle Skippy might not ever forgive you.........have you thought of the consequences of that?.......lol.

uncle skippy,

A 1st birthday party? The child won't even know if your there or not....hehehehe

Don, do you think we're getting to her yet?

Here's an idea.... the kid is only one [1?] move his birthday one way or the other.... he'll never know.

oh awright... we don't know the situation. Family is important. There for us 24/7. We hafta be there for them too.

YES YOU'RE GETTING TO ME NOW! Maybe I'll lie and tell them it's my Uncle Skippy's birthday and he doesn't have much time left, oh forgot, they know I was lieing, and besides, I'm too honest!
Yes family is important but I consider you all family. Gonna miss you guys that's for sure.

I have not had time to propagate anything. Its been such a busy year.
Also is this like a pot luck type of thing too. Should we bring food a kind of food?

Will you d mail us directions or and address we can map out.

hiya steph_gem,

Please see the July 8th food thread here in the California gardening forum and I'll be posting directions later today....

best,
don

Steph,

Please don't feel bad about not having any plants to trade with...this RU is about meeting new garden friends and having a nice visit with others like ourselves. There are many of our members who don't have plants to trade with either. If there are any plants that you are interested in, it can't hurt to ask if they still want to share with you. I have a long list, and I would love to share anything with you, without getting anything in return.

Please do check out the 3 other threads: Headcount, food and plant trading.

Glad to hear you'll be coming.
Donna

Is anyone doing name tags?? Jo

I will do them. I have the template from last year.
Things to do: get stickers.
Janice

hiya Janice,

I think maggiemoo has volunteered to do them so that leaves you with one less thing on your list, because I'll bet you'll be more than occupied with just getting a horse enthusiast here early enough...lol.

best to you,
don

Great...Jo

I'm still in, guys. So, I definitely need name tags...bad with names and all. :-) I haven't posted in a few weeks due to family *issues* but I'll not worry about that come next Saturday.

Corona~Barb coming with chocolate (and checking the other threads)

OK... I know it's posted somewhere - I think I'm blind
What time does this Shindig start?

Would I be showing my age if I asked how many remember that show?

Hi dovey, this Shindig (and yes I remeber that show) starts at 10am...and don't be so late this time. lol

Have you read the new thread that Don posted with the directions? He gives a lot of information regarding the "whole Shindig" lololol.

Could you please check into the food thread too and list what you will be bringing. I saw where Matt wanted to do the pork, but we know that's NOT going to happen.

See ya soon,
Donna

It IS happening!....lol

Hi Don,

You just checking in here for a cool break?

I'm just trying to get all the loose ends together...hint hint.

:-(

hiya SoCal,

you've got dmail, and I'll keep checking in now all week as time gets shorter. I think we've got almost everything covered as of right now, but who knows as the week progresses....lol.

Weegy12, we're both grateful that you'll try to come in late if you can.

best to all,
don

How late do you suppose it will run? The b-day party starts at 3 and I could cut out early if you all will still be there...wait for me????

Is the 8th ever gonna get here???? Ok, serious question.


Do we have a link set up yet for directions?
Mark

You mean you do not remember how to get there? Lol! Back to the outside I go. The *@#%*@% opossum took out another chunk of Butterfly brug. That varmint is seriously trying my patience. He goes after the Monster and I will get the pellet gun out. (Seriously folks, no guns in the city limits but the baseball bat is beginning to lok good.)

I just saw the dirctions, sorry to bother everyone. DOH!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyhow, looking forward to seeing everyont.

DON I got your smoked fish.
Mark

Louise,
If your party starts at 3:00 then why not come to the round up at 10:00 and leave early enough to get to your party?
I promise not to be late this time

Woohooo......Fish, the anti chocolate....lol.

Only a week to go and the gardens are really weeping in this heat, but it will be ready and blooming if I have to go to Michael's and buy a bunch of silk flowers....lol.

Lol!! Yeah, I can really see you setting silk flowers out!


One week to RU, only 4 days to CA! Woohoo!!!! (That's "Yeehaw!!!!" in Texan.)
:-)

Maggiemoo...I will be so pleased to see you again...and you know why!! LOL Jo

OOh! I sure am glad you reminded me, Jo! I couldn't live down another failure to produce. I'll be sure to bring it in my carry-on luggage, so I can't claim it got lost, lol. Gee, it's going to be fun to see a familiar face at this RU! Really looking forward to seeing you again and getting to meet everyone else!

A familiar face?...........what.?...mine doesn't haunt you in your sleep? enough?....lol.

As far as familiar faces go...........how about these?

LOL....
