Buttercup, are you making a special trip to my house!?! Wow! Anyway, if you could give me an idea about the watch sychonization it would be helpful. If you haven't planned an exact time for your trip, may I suggest that you arrive around 12:30 pm cst. I go to church on Sunday morning, our church has three different services, so I need to figure which one would be the best to attend that won't correspond with your ETA.

Yea Buttercup
OK the gumbo is on the stove and I'm making a run for wine. Don't worry all we will make sure Miss Buttercup has dinner before we have wine.

Buttercup about 50 miles west of Pensacola.



Hi Tess. My time above is board time. Buttercup is probably at about 5:10 p.m. eastern time.

My time above is board time also. She's still in Eastern and I'm Central so I figured board time would be best----okay except for the 2:42pm...should have been 1:42pm. Dang!!

Urgrace--yep she's coming to see you just cuz. Don't you feel special??

BUTTERCUPPY TRAFFIC ALERT!!

Traffic is stopped dead on the I-10. No idea why. She passed Niceville a little bit ago.


Urgrace, 12:30pm Sunday is perfect. MissButtercup is looking forward to the opportunity to sleep in a bit then. She has your email address so be looking for a message. Don't delete any strange emails.

And I thought the site was down again. haven't been able to get in for fifteen minutes or so. Got a Buttercup report about twenty minutes ago saying she is/was an hour away.

Juju--site was down for a bit. I got the same msg from MissButtercup at 3:42pm board time and now she appears to be on radio silence. Could be she's on the phone with Phrf. Oh!! Here she is again.....Ah--She's passed Mobile, Alabama and stopped to tank up.

I cannot believe I missed her! I live 5 hrs from Mobile, I could have made arrangements or something. Jeez, I wanted to meet her. Just as well, I'm ill as a hornet anyway. But do tell her I was waving as she sped by and to be careful!

Missiyippeeeee!!!!

Will do Abby. She's ultimately going to be living in Louisiana--when she's done visiting everyone on her route. I'll bet you two could get together yet!!

Yippppeeeeeee!!! Not to worry, Abbynormal. At the rate Buttercup is going, she will be whizzing back your way before you know it.

Tess

Friday, December 28, 2001 - 05:03 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Almost to Biloxi!! Phrf, I hope you have the table set!!

Abby, Buttercup says Juju is soooooooo right. After all the miles that buttermobile has managed in the past couple of weeks, a little sidetrip to visit with you after she gets settled in Louisiana will be a piece of cake!!

Tess

Friday, December 28, 2001 - 05:04 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
She's calling Phrf right now to come and get her.

Buttercuppy made it!!

Awww--thanks, Juju2trackingdawg. Now why haven't we heard anything about the Gumbo??

Tomorrow we have to track from Gulfport to Houston for the big reunion with Phil!

Then Sunday, we're popping up to see Urgrace. Our work is not done here. No relaxing yet.

Thank you again, Tess! I got Buttercups email. Yes, it was strange looking! I don't have any gumbo but we will come up with something good to munch on!

Hey, Juju....thought I would need your trackin'dawg talents to find my luggage, which didn't make the Peoria/St. Louis/Cleveland shift last night.

We should have had a tracking on it...eventually they sent it to Pittsburgh then Franklin and then a very nice man drove an hour in the SNOW to deliver it!

Anybody have any thoughts on Tuscon AZ or Madison, Wis as places to live?? Just checking!

Juju2bigdog

Friday, December 28, 2001 - 09:10 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Okay, Tess, I will get up and take the early shift again.

Urgrace. Two words. Tex Mex.

That's hot advice Juju! I know just the place!
