Sounds good! Potluck or bring our own?? Or a bit of both??? Decisions, decisions!! We have no business things to interfere with our plans ... only possible family stuff that is usually last minute planning all summer ... if we bring extra food and chairs, can we bring extra people?

Julie, it was good to see that you don't look any the worse for your involuntary meeting with the stupid pickup truck! We never did find out how your settlement with ICBC is going ... too many things to talk about, too little time!

I hate to get sappy but.... more hugs to you all! Glenda

Can't sleep (again), so have taken my Cal:Mag and finished up the recipe pics and post...as we discussed!

Cookies!

Never enough time to get everything and everyone sorted, is there?!

Great time, again. Will definitely be eyeballing the July (crikey, so soon upon us) calendar.

Thus far, no travel for me in July and August - just nightmares at home after the cabinet shuffle......

I'd be happy with a combo of bring your own and bring to share - I promise my cooking won't kill anyone.

If Glenda brings John, Randy might come.... not SO though (Mr. Anti LC)

Oh, and as for ICBC, they assessed my as 50% responsible according to the eye witness (who obviously needs a guide dog).

I'm still in physio twice a week and thinking about what to do. Physio will be covered until September so I will see how I am then.

One day at a time.

Hugs all, Julie

Since no one has offered a date, I will.....

How about a BBQ on July 13 (Sunday)?

The very day of my mother's annual "garden party"...bingo!

Are we talking day or evening/supper? I lean to supper because then I can come, though having it in my back yard might be a bit problematical...

Hey, y'all. My mum's annual Garden Party (literally an open house where people wander in and out all day) is definitely the 13th. And she's asked me most definitely to "help out" with the cooking. I.e., I'll be doing the the cooking and "womaning" the kitchen.


If at all possible, can we move the date? If not, I'll manage but it would definitely be easier on my nerves if we could...and if we could firm up the timings and place

Thanks, sweetpeas.

ps: CHOCOLATE protein cookie recipe, draft 1, now up!

Hi everybody--yes, I still exist!

Don't know what all;'s been discussed so far but for what it's worth I can offer my place in James Bay for a BBQ after work one weekday evening or on the 19th.

cheerio!

That could work...because if we do a weekday evening close to town, I am free any time except the 18 and 19th.

My problem is that I am dog-sitting. I don't leave dogs alone in my house...don't drive on the highway with them...and it's too hot to leave them in the car.
So...if it's an event close to home I can drive the dog to their OWN house for the evening and get them out of my hair....at the same time I won't spend all night driving around. (kwim?)

Hi, Julie, missed you too! (BTW we went to see Kevin about a sauna--looks promising!)

And I missed everybody else! I'll throw out a couple of dates for 5-ish--Thurs. 17, Fri. 18, Mon. 21, Tues. 22, Wed. 23. Any takers? As I said, I'd be happy to host if that works for folks.
