Teatime, yes - Unit and I arrived very early.

Babyruth's new ride was SA-Weeeeeeeeet!!

And I just want to tell Marm that her guess is WRONG, lol.

It just occured to me that I am way too familiar with the butts of you folks!

Marm's guesses really threw me off since I have met Gracie myself many times! LOL

Weinermr, awesome account of your time in Solvang - what a great trip. Thank you for sharing with us.

My guess is MsTea, Gracie, Half :)

You guys need some help. That is Halfunit on the left, Urgrace in the middle with a new hair style and that leaves Teatime on the right.

Glenn is correct.

(Gee Spy... he's quite the observant one. Maybe he
should pick out your Road Trip Travel Doll.)




Edited after seeing T's post below: lol, I forgot about standing in front of the family that way. How about MrTea and Unit taking pictures and then letting us stand there for eternity and not telling us they were finished?

You got it, Glenn. Sorry about the hat, folks. It seemed necessary at the time as I had earlier only had a whisk broom available to tidy up my straggly hair as we pulled in to town. (The broom didn't work as well as I'd hoped.) I wish I could have been part of the auburn bunch - those girls have gorgeous hair!

You know what was funny while the butt shots were being taken? Behind us was a whole slew of wonderful Gracie-relatives wondering what the heck we were doing!! The anniversary couple had had several lovely shots just taken with many cameras, and then here we come and posed backwards. I was laughing listening to the "buzz" of explanations flying around the picnic tables.

Weinermr, it's easy to tell what a wonderful time you had with people who have become dear to you. Thank you for sharing your story. Friends are so very special, aren't they?

Teatime, I like that hat but I had nothing to go one as to identify you but the process of elimination. I was surprised at the length of Halfunits hair but there were other distinguishing features to identify her. Urgrace was easy because I had just seen her a few weeks ago.

<I have already found the Spydoll. It is a barbie doll that has a black leather trenchcoat with a pair of dark sunglasses. I haven't decided whether to keep the knee high boots or not for Spydoll>

edited for the oversight about keeping those boots......good one Mware, you got me

Leave them on the doll, Glenn. They won't fit you.

Halfunit

Other distinguishing features?

<Thinks to self... that only leaves my hiney, and wonders (1) if my butt is really that distinguishable, and (2) just how does Glenn know for sure what it looks like??>

Glenn, Will this Barbie work?

Lucy, that is a good start but the hair needs to be blonde and long. Now, while the real Spygirl has that squeaky clean image to go with the white coat, I was really looking for the long black leather style. I do like the boots however.

Halfunit, you surprise me. If you had checked with the Unit before you posted he would have told you that the very first distinguishing features about any person is their height. You do remember me inquiring as to your height many months ago? I know quite well Urgrace's height so it was easy to verify your height standing next to her and it matched what you had told me. Now that I have seen your hiney I do have an aditional feature to go by. Nice hiney BTW.

Hi, gang! Hubby and I are back from the beach trip and it was wonderful. No TV or phones, nothing to do but relax. The weather was beautiful and there was absolutely NO COOKING. We snacked on french bread, cheeses, ham, and several kinds of pickles and of course PEACHES. We got a bushel and I've already eaten about 10 of them! We collected LOTS of really pretty rocks on the beach and last night we went out on the beach where a bonfire was going. We also got to see Mars! It was great seeing so many stars. Living in the city we don't see them much. Back at the cottage we played Scrabble and read books. A really wonderful, peaceful weekend.

Now that I'm back trying to catch up on the board something is really puzzling me. I keep reading in this thread about Marm's guesses being so wrong and I can't find a single post where Marm guesses anything!!! Can someone clue me in???

Half- Somehow I knew that one was you also- based on the picture of your legs :) Also- I just checked your webpage found in your profile.

DUH!! Nevermind. I just read Marm's guesses in the I Met Bob thread. Marm! I'm surprised at you! Even I knew who was who!! LOL

Glenn, you send the doll (or tell me where I can get one) and I promise she'll go on every road trip from now on. I think I've got some computer glitch going on because I can't see Lucy's version.

However, Charlie (brilliant man that he is) fixed by photo cd problems and I've got more photos...some for this thread and some for Bob's thread. We might have to have a thread just for the "Adventures of Bob and Juju!".

Weiner, I have the cutest picture of the helpful person with the purse. Just let me get it ready and we'll let people figure out who it is. How on earth did I miss Eggie posting a photo of us all? Hmmmmm.

Teatime and Half, I loved your accounts of your roadtrip. What a fun day!

If you guys choose a Barbie doll for me, I'm never gonna live it down. Isn't there a cute Beanie Babie much more appropriate out there? LOL

Glenn

Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:18 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Tess, I am working on that Spydoll. Let me tell you, a guy my age in Toys'r'us barbie doll section can sure draw some strange looks from other folks. I may have to go back with someone who will deflect those suspicious stares.

Weinermr

Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:29 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
That's cool Tess, I'd like to see it.

Egbok

Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 06:48 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yes Tess, I posted the dinnertime group picture and Juju commented on how the TVCHer's all started looking alike.

I'm looking forward to your pictures....especially the helpful person with the purse.

Glenn, do you have a little neice to take along? If you do, be sure to buy her a new Barbie as a consolation prize for being your cover.

Tess

Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 07:02 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Ohhhhhhhhh yeah. How could I forget that, Eggie.

Glenn, if you point me in the right direction (send me a pic) I've got some Toys R Us business to do for Miss Sarah's birthday anyway. On the other hand, a write up of your adventures in shopping would be worth reading. :)

Weiner I'm still working on photos. Charlie fixed the glitch and I'm busily downloading and cropping.

Glenn

Cuteggie, if I took my any of my nieces along with me it would only add to the stares. I think the youngest one is about sixteen and looks like she is twenty. I am considering on going to the goodwill store and seeing if I can find a beat up plaid flannel shirt and go for the logger/woodsman look and see what happens.

Tess, I am not sure what direction is correct for you. I want to say I would point you towards the north.

Tess

Sunday, August 24, 2003 - 07:32 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Make that northeast and you would be correct. I'd like to say good memory since you did pass our Toys R Us store last time (well each time) you raced through town, but somehow I doubt you noticed. Just a guess. :)
