Default Victoria December/January get together

OK - it seems like I sort of got talked into having a pot luck at my house in the near future after DD moved out. She left a week ago so I guess it's time to schedule something.

I had an awesome visit with some of my oldest and dearest club friends this weekend which reminded me of the importance of staying connected. I didn't realize how much I missed them until I got there..... Especially in light of the fact that I have lost two of those friends in the last year and another is in 4th stage colon cancer. I went to this event feeling disconnected from the world and found my smile while I was there.... Facebook pix to follow.

So - I will open up my home to my LC friends for a holiday (or not) meal. When? I might even cook something.....

Julie, I'm so sorry about the loss of your friends and the impending loss of another. Sorta brings home the tenuous nature of our relationships but it help to remember that we were fortunate enough to have them and to remember the happy times!

I'll bet the house feels empty with DD not there - the ol' "empty nest" syndrome! I'm up for almost any time everyone else can make it -- let's see if we can get Anny back too! And if Janet can make it over from the Island, so much the better!

As far as you cooking - I thought Jude volunteered? Just kidding, but I really think the provider of the venue shouldn't have to contribute food too - I'm sure the rest of us can bring plenty of edible food!! I've been on a curry kick lately - anyone who can't eat curried seafood better speak up now (no gluten, no lactose or casein - I promise)!!!

I said "cook something" not "cook everything" as I do not want to impart salmonella on anyone j/k.......

My house feels very empty without DD but very full with Cami and Callie in full distruction mode. They are curious about the Christmas tree box that I am too scared to open......

Thanks for the support on my lost friends - I have yet another very dear friend with Parkinson's in the states..... many elders and sick people in my life these days. I am just thankful to have been able to spend time with them. They made me promise to visit more.....

So - what kind of dates might we be looking at?

Julie

I presume we're thinking a weekend here? I have a show in Vancouver the weekend of the 16th-17th (not sure yet if we're going to that one), and one here on the 31st (Steph's birthday, I believe?). All else looks clear.

I guess it really depends on when our resident Chef is available... Jude?

A Sunday would be good for a lunch.

Anny - good to hear from you! Not a bit late -- you're in plenty of time to give us some feedback on when you're available. The consensus seems to be that December is just impossible with all the festivities, so sometime in January, probably a Saturday or Sunday.

thanks, Glenda! Oh, man, I can hardly think about the next week, let alone January. I'll let you all know when I know what weekends I'll be in Vic.

Meanwhile, happy holly-days everyone!

Nice to "see" you Anny! So far no dates have been offered up for our next lunch.

How do people feel about the 10th or 17th?

The 10th would work just fine for me - not sure about the 17th yet. There's a show in Vancouver but we haven't decided if we're going over for it.

As my favourite comical strip from years back used to say, "Merry Crispness everyone!"- that was after singing their Christmas song: "Deck us all with Boston Charlie, Walla Walla, Wash & Kalamazoo!"

thanks for welcome back, Julie! Still not sure about January dates but the 10th is probably OK. Can I get back to you on it?

Happy Holly-days, everybody!!!

Gotta rush to get ready for work.0.
