~*Memorial Day Weekend Gathering SUNDAY ~*May 29th, 2011~*

[AdoreMyDogs]

I would love to come, but, sadly, I will have to be there in spirit. I loved Phred and want so badly to bid one last farewell to him, but money does not allow me to travel at that time.

Have a wonderful time, everyone.

For some reason it is telling me my message is too short...

[Grace]

For some reason it is telling me my message is too short...

That's because your entire message was in quotes - until you wrote that last sentence.

And the quote doesn't get that I signed up only for bottled water - not iced tea. I don't drink tea, and wouldn't know what to buy

Take lots of pictures!

I don't blame you at all. Take care of him and we'll take care of the pictures

[k9krazee]

So here's the dealio. This weekend is supposed to be my weekend "on", and at this point we don't have anything going on Sunday so I'm 95% sure that I'll be able to come. I will, however, be dog-less but I guess that will give me more opportunity to take pictures And I currently live kitchen-less, so any food that I bring will have to be bought on the fly.

I do hope you'll be able to come!

[ramanth]

I'm going to attempt to bake cookies, but they may end up being store bought. Forgive me Phred!

Diana, do you need any help with the meats and supplies?

[Grace]

Diana, do you need any help with the meats and supplies?

A question I was also going to ask. I've got lots of plastic forks, spoons, knives - and paper napkins. Just sitting in the cupboard waiting to be invited to a party

[4 Dog Mother]

I received a phone call from the Park Director late this afternoon. Right now the roads to the Dog Park are flooded. The river was suppose to crest tonight so if all goes well and there is not any more significant rain it should be down enough by Sunday to have the roads open. However that still means the dog park is probably pretty muddy so be forewarned. I am sure it also means mosquitoes as they don't spray that area for them.

I have also decided to bury a small box under the rock with a few items in memory of Phred. Like a small fire truck and I am not sure what else. If anyone wants to add something, bring it along. Just make sure it isn't too big. I was thinking of finding a cookie tin type box so it won't be that big.

As far as needing help with some of the stuff, I would be glad for help, Grace and Kimmy. Grace, I think I have enough "utensils" but the napkins would be great. I'll check tomorrow morning to be sure that is correct. Maybe you could pick up some paper plates too. I am pretty sure we are low on them.

Kimmy if you could pick up a small bottle of catsup, mustard, mayonnaise, relish and whatever else you think people would like on their sandwiches, please do.

Thanks to both of you. Sunday is coming quickly. We spent the evening cleaning the leaves and broken plants and limbs out of the yard and there is still some clean up to do. I am suppose to pick up the rock in Toledo tomorrow and Saturday, I will be making potato salad, brownies and maybe a few cookies. I am probably going to have to repot some stuff too from the yard as many of my pots are broken.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.

[Karen]

We are sorry to tell you all that we will not be able to make it out this time. We have always had a wonderful time all the years that we went out to Findlay, and would so love to be able to be with you all, especially the new folks. I have promised Staci I will write up something for Phred's little memorial service-of-sorts, and I will do that before Sunday, I promise.

We have been in the process of selling our house, and things kept getting delayed by this or that, but we finally had the closing just a few days ago. We have been extremely busy cleaning it out, and still have a few more things to move. As we are in an apartment for now, we have some things in a rented storage place, some in Paul's mom's basement, and our mower and gardening tools are spending their "summer vacation" in my Dad's garage. So there's just no way we could take the time away right now. If it had happened as originally planned, it all would have been done a few weeks ago, but ... anyway, that's why.

We will miss you all, and miss the chance to meet Phred's sister, and give hugs to everyone. And my dog-shaped cookie cutters are all packed away in a box right now, too, and I am sure certain canines would be expecting their dog-safe people tasty cookies.

We will be thinking of you all on Sunday, and will certainly be with you in spirit, I promise! Please, please, take lots and lots of pictures, okay?

And, Diana? There haz to be a chocca-chip cookie in that box, okay?

[Grace]

Napkins and paper plates - no problem

[Karen]

I know we always ask, but could someone be sure to take lots of pictures, especially of everyone with their respective dogs? I sooo wish we could be there, but just cannot this time. And be sure to get one of Phred's sister with the Smoke-mutt and crew, too, okay?
