I’m tentatively in. Anita’s directions shouldn’t be a problem as long as she doesn’t live in the Fairlington development. ---

Anita’s directions shouldn’t be a problem as long as she doesn’t live in the Fairlington development. \*\* If I lived there, I’d never be able to find my way out, much less back in again! It will be nice to see you again, so I hope you can make it. I’ll email directions to attendees a couple of weeks before the party. ---

Aaaw shoot, I’m fer definite sure going to be hanging with the family about 5 hours away… You guys have fun then… (wants to add _kicks dirty_ to her post too, 'cause it looked cool and mysterious when **TruePisces** did it, but should probably figure out what it means…) ---

In the spirit of frivolity, I just wanted to say that I’ll be in DC next month, but not at that time. Sorry I’ll miss **GeoBill** , but I reckon you’ll be in NY in Jan. Carry on! 😃 ---

**tdc** and I are out as we’ll be in Florida, watching a dear friend take some wedding vows. I will skip around on the beach, stick my toe in the water, and drink a glass of wine in y’all’s honor, however. ---

**Punha** may be able to attend if he sees fit. He’ll be in NoVa at that time. I’ll be on the other side of the country visiting my sister in Portland, OR. If he does go then y’all try to make sure he stays out of trouble. And keep him away from tire swings.🙂 ---

And keep him away from tire swings.🙂 \*\* I have no tire swings in my yard, but why, oh why do you want to spoil our fun? Punha has never misbehaved at my sister’s parties before, but this time we were really hoping to start a new trend. When he sees that I have a ceiling fan, he’s _bound_ to want to tempt fate and do some kip ups under it!😃 ---

Hubby and I are in! We had such a great time at Dope-a-ween that we can’t wait to see everyone again! We will need time details, address, directions, etc. Can we bring anything? Vanilla vodka, perhaps?😃 ---

I’m around Tampa Bay from the 22nd through 26th and then in the Panhandle until the 28th, when I head back north. Hope FL is treating you sunnily, though! 🙂 ---
