Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 05:40 am     Friday Dec 28 2:42pm The Butter-mobile, aka Bat-out-of-h*ll-mobile, is SMOKIN' today. We're just passing the exit for Panama City, Fl. 500 miles have come and gone!! |
Urgrace | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 05:48 am     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. |
Phrf | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:02 am     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. |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:05 am     Friday December 28, 2001, 2:10 p.m. 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. |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:13 am     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?? |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:36 am     Friday, December 28 2:35pm 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. |
Phrf | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 03:18 pm     Well I know we feel special........ Buttercup should be here in about 2 hours We will check in when she gets here |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 03:18 pm     3:18 p.m. Buttercup moving again and in Alabama! Sunset.
Oh! I see the clock is fixed. Yay! |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 03:23 pm     Whooohoooo!! That clock business was giving me a headache!! |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:04 pm     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. |
Zed | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:11 pm     One hour away...hmmm....750 miles in 10 hours....butter wants that wine & gumbo baaaaad!!! |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:14 pm     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. |
Abbynormal | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:26 pm     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! |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:26 pm     Missiyippeeeee!!!! |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:28 pm     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!! |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 04:28 pm     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     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     She's calling Phrf right now to come and get her. Buttercuppy made it!! |
Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 05:10 pm     Phrf and hubby have left the house to go get MissButtercup!! |
Juju2bigdog | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:29 pm     Another successful mission, Tess old girl! I don't know how we do it! <fecthes Tess's slippers>

Tess | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 06:59 pm     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. |
Urgrace | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 08:39 pm     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! |
Schoolmarm | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 09:02 pm     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     Okay, Tess, I will get up and take the early shift again. Urgrace. Two words. Tex Mex.

Urgrace | Friday, December 28, 2001 - 09:39 pm     That's hot advice Juju! I know just the place! |
