Good news, y’all! I can get up to four of us in for free! My coworker just gave me “Buy One Get One Free” coupons! Oh, yeah, Baby. Who’s your Daddy? 😃 ---

I keep forgetting that. I don’t know why, either; I mean, you two look so much alike. 😉 ---

By the way, what was the time for Sunday’s furry meetin’? I know that **Horseflesh** mentioned 9:00, but I didn’t know if that was set in stone. ---

bumpity-bump. Did we have a set meeting time yet? And how do we find each other in the parking lot? I say we should all be wearing fake reindeer antlers but my Mom won’t go for that. ---

Oh wow, Ive been in Mid-terms all week. Sorry gang. Umm, is it this Sunday? I’ll see what I can do. ---

I say we shoot for 9:00 am, and wait for the stragglers by the entrance. You can recognize dopers by their large heads and beady eyes. 'Sides, I lost my reindeer antlers in a chess game gone bad. Oh! And I picked up the pie from Baker this morning. Mmmmm, it sure looks tasty. When I come back, I bring pie. ---

9:00 am it is- I will be the one naked ( under my clothes) that is how you will recognize me. I will also be the one bearing gifts for the younguns. I have made all the little girls’ bracelets. Bring pie and you will be my friend. ---

I don’t know if the pie will survive though. **Horseflesh** said in an email that he might have the family “sample” it before going on to KC. I swear, I gave him a _whole_ peanut-butter chocolate pie! It was covered in whipped topping, and had chopped peanuts, with strings of peanut butter and Hershey’s syrup on top of that. And it was fresh when he got it,as I had completed it about ten minutes before he arrived at the cafe! ---

Nope, I plan on being there on time this time, not early. BTW, big hugs to **Horseflesh** , his grandmother passed away about an hour and a half ago. ---

Sigh, couldnt convince anyone to drive to KC for the day, so it appears Im out too. Although, you know if one is ever going to be held in Maryville… Or if any of you live here and are being quiet about it, now’s the time to fess up. ---
