DFW folks, Texans or Whoever - I'm having a party.

My lovely new wife, sylphishone, is going to be here on the 25th of July. We are wanting to have a get to know each other type of gathering on the 26th. That’s a Saturday for those, like me, that don’t have a calendar.

What I want to do is have an afternoon party at our house in Plano. Tonya, my daughter, is living there and since she doesn’t know us has agreed to let us invade her house. … She’s met Grace, but that is all.

It is a family (kid) friendly place. There is a pool. We may have a badminton net and basketball goal up. There is a ping pong table inside. I’ll smoke a brisket and have burgers and some of those obscene hot dogs.

You are welcome to bring side dishes, chips, paper plates, cups, beer, cokes (for any yankees reading this, that includes Dr Pepper, Pepsi, Sprite, Root Beer and any other soft drink), or anything else anyone can think of. But do kind of let me know. I don’t really need 400 paper plates.

If y’all would like, I can get a keg and take donations. There will be several of sylphishone’s (Terry) friends plus some of my family there.

For those that know where Ziactrice lives, it is two door away. Otherwise, email me for directions.

I hope the date isn’t inconvenient, but it is the best for us. Unless a gob of people can’t make it, I’d like to stick with that.

July 26th, about 2pm till who cares. Eat at around 5 or 6pm. Come when you want, leave when you want.

Let me know who’ll be there.

Sounds like fun! Count me in for one.

–==Mike==–

It’ll be great meeting you.

Should I make a dessert or should I bring a side dish? And are you going to have those hot dogs you had at my birthday party?

Sigh. My rotten timing kicks in again. I’m going to be in Louisiana, helping my niece move off to college, on the 26th. I won’t get to meet the blushing bride or Snake Legs.

Sooner or later, my schedule will lighten up, I swear. In the meantime, my best to everyone. Have a little extra fun for me, willya?

But…but who’s going to take notes?

BTW, I’ve decided what I’m going to bring. My coworker has given me a recipe for a yummy sounding cole slaw.

That sounds good, Grace. And yes, I am bringing the obscene hot dogs. I hope moxmaiden is coming. I loved the expression on her face when she looked that pot of those hot dogs.

Balance, sorry you can’t make it. I think you need to host a gathering on the weekend you do have free.

Well, I have mentioned it to Mtgman, but plans are still up in the air. I would love to come and see your big hot dogs again, Lord Jim! [wink, wink!]

moxmaiden, now that you’ve seen my big weiner maybe you won’t be so embarrassed this time.

Hope y’all can make it.

This is a get to know each other party, not a wedding reception or bridal shower. … NO gifts, please!

I’m gonna try, Jim, but it’s uncertain at this point. I’ll know better next week.

I hope you can make it. Drag along any of the other Houston people with you if you want.

That’s all for now.

I knew I shouldn’t have moved from Plano.

Oh well, more weiner for everyone else.

I am looking forward to meeting all of you. Please try to make it. Like Jim said no gifts please. Chocolate desserts would be graciously accepted!

I am not going to be able to make it.
I hope you all have a great time!

See you at the next fest!

Argh, I would love to go (as I just moved to Frisco–one town north of Plano for those without maps) but I just moved in and am still getting settled. I’ll catch you guys next time around.

Quack, I understand completely. It is just a hop skip and a jump from you though so if you get tired and need a break and just want some chow don’t hesitate to stop in.

There are still more of you out there we would like to hear from. I am anxious to actually meet all of you.

I just love slipping in under her.
