Another Bat update. She will be in the Miami/Ft Lauderdale area late Sunday where Rocky is invited to visit her (I get to tag along) for cocktails and cocktail weinies.

Rocky? Cocktail weinies???????

Buttercup was 8 miles out, seven minutes ago. For all practical purposes, she has arrived!

Tk, we moved in the 80's from PSL. Although, we still have friends there. I don't remember that name. That is great he is a Shriner. They do a lot of wonderful charity work.

awwwww Grooch! I love that pic of your baby.

Um, Juju, I know you like them young, but I think he might be considered jail bait.

Kennel bait maybe.

Ohhh Grooch, Rocky is adorable!!! I want him!!!

Tell MsBat hello and I'm glad she's enjoying the warmer weather.

heh, heh. Yes, I think pound bait would be the correct term.

I will tell her, Egbok. :)

Bat update.

It was 34 with a wind chill of 28 in Fort Pierce last night.

So Bat had to put away the daquiris and pina coladas and the grass hula skirt and had to make do with hot toddys. She also had to take in the homeless squirrels so they wouldn't freeze to death.

Most of these squirrels became homeless because they are of middle eastern descent and are in country with visa violations and they are hiding out from the FBI.

Fruitbat has concocted a plan to take these squirrels to the mall today to purchase them nifty new outfits and take them with her on her adventure across the country.

At the end of her roadtrip she plans to drive north of Detroit and take them over the Canadian border where they will be safe and can apply for refugee status.

There are widespread rumors of an underground railroad for squirrels to head to the great white north where they are more then welcomed by a cockeyed cat.

Well we know where Winks has been... gathering lumber to block the underground Canadian squirrel railroad!

They are already up here in the Great White North, living in my attic. Did you know that in Ottawa there is a by-law that prohibits you from evicting squirrels in the middle of winter!! True ... so for the last 5 winters I have had them living up over my bedroom. I now know everything there is to know about the habits of Nutsy & Peanut (including mating). Next I will be making outfits for them, too.

Grooch

Did you here that Wink!?! You can't evict them.

Tee! Hee!

Alib, sounds like you better be making some baby clothes, too.

Wink

Well Grooch as long as HRH keeps driving north of Detroit she won't darken my doorstep with those pesky little fashion slaves. Time to get out your map. This part of the great white north is actually south of the motor city.

Alib by-laws are made to be broken.

Grooch

Friday, January 04, 2002 - 02:03 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'll relay the info to HRH so she can input the info into her satellite tracking system.

Wink

Friday, January 04, 2002 - 02:17 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I'm not worried about HRH showing up here Grooch. I think the only trip north she'll ever make after her 3 month sojurn is to whip back home, pick up the shoes and capris she had to leave behind and settle permanently in the south.

And, rumor has it that she'll be bellying up to a bar somewhere near you Grooch. I sure hope dogs are allowed. You could always dress-up Rocky in a little clown costume & pass him off as the evenings entertainment. Or, HRH could let the squirrels loose & cause a distraction.

Rocky is adorable!

I know there are many of you here who know Lanzee, who scoped out the BB2 house with Moondance and made several trips to Belly complete with photos, back in the good old days of summer. Well Lanzee has been on a trip of her own. She took the NORTHERN ROUTE as her brother lives quite near me here in beautiful Minnesota. Lanzee and I have been planning a visit since she first found out she would be travelling to my town...my immediate neighborhood no less. She will be at my house at 3pm after having brunch with her brother. I just need to get my act together and head out to the store for some light snacks.

Those of you in the chat crowd know just how much sleep I DIDN'T get last night--so keep that in mind when pictures are posted please.

Lanzee is sweet, cheerful, upbeat and enthusiastic whenever she's been on the board and in chat and I expect her to be exactly the same way in person. She will be the 5th person I'll have met from TVCH since June. If any of you have the opportunity to meet up with someone else, I say grab it! Beginning April 1st my family and I will be on a 3000+ mile road trip of our own where we plan on meeting Schoolmarm and Zed for starters. Who knows how many more?

Tess, on your family trip, will you be in the vicinity of Tenn?

Tess

hmmmm--TK, as of today our route appears to be: Twin Cities down to Chicago Apr 1.
Chicago to outside Pittsburgh (visit on of hubby's brothers and family) Apr 2.
From there to Schoolmarm morning of Thursday, Apr 4.
Friday, Apr 5 down to rural Virginia to see hubby's parents, 3 brothers and their families.

Then it gets hazy. Zed is 5 hours plus from inlaws. I need to work out my little visit with her but by Mon, Apr 8 at some point we need to be back up in Fairfax, VA (just outside D.C.) to visit friends for a couple of days.

Then on Wednesday or Thursday we leave for Lexington, KY. No relatives there, we've just found it to be a good stopping point.

So that takes us on I-64 through West VA and Kentucky. That means, since I cannot find Buffalo Valley, TN in my atlas, I would need to know how close you are to I-64.

On Friday, Apr 12 we leave for Chicago to have my birthday with my sister.
Sunday, Apr 14 we go home.

Our last trip was 3000 miles almost exactly but that doesn't take into account the side trip to North Carolina and Fairfax. We'll be doing a bit more zigzagging this time. To meet some of the outstanding friends I've made here, I'm willing to zig AND zag a bit.

What??? You can't find Buffalo Valley??? It's probaly covered up with a piece of dust. It's 60 miles east of Nashville on I-40. Nowhere near I-64, but I just thought I'd ask anyway. Sawheel is in Florence, KY. I just looked and it's north of Lexington on I-75 near Cincinnati, OH. There was someone here from Lexington, but I can't remember who it is right now.

I thought we went to bed early last night, Tess! Have fun with Lanzee!
