What fun ya'll!

I am getting ready for yet another road trip as well! To meet the Queen nonetheless!

The Butter mobile has been in for a check-up and is ready to leave bright and early tomorrow morning for the combined 1,600+ miles trip

I am first headed to meet Queen Zed in North Carolina. Then Wednesday QZ and I leave for Tennessee for a few days to make it a better place

I am betting it's going to be a nice, quiet and relaxing trip....as a matter of fact, I think I can hear the birds sing and the water flow already

Bookie, glad you got a chance to meet Marm!

Butter, I wish you well on your long journey in the Buttermobil. And of course, it's wonderful that you will get to meet Queen Zed and then go on a road trip with her to brighten up the state of Tennessee!! Looking forward to the Road Trip reports. Drive safely and have a great time!!

Butter, I'm sure you can bring something to Tenn. and I really hope it will be cooler weather!! It's a scorcher out there today!! Please don't bring us any more rain. My WebTV and my mind can't handle that!! Where are you going in TN? Anywhere near Gordonsville? or Nashville?

Marm's back trimmed

Here we are at the Steak and Shake. I will let you guess who is who.

Ahhh...I just got home from my trip on Friday night, then woke up Saturday and headed down to the far north end of suburban Chicago (not even Chicago really) and now I'm back home.

The trip was good- interesting flight into Phoenix over the fire...spent a day with my gramma then my Dad and I drove to San Diego. We stayed in Little Italy which was fun and the weather was great. The last night we stayed in Phoenix.

The funny thing is that here in Wisconsin it's been nonstop rain (I drove to the airport in a storm so bad I could barely drive) so I was all about sun and heat (I love PHX anyway) and my dad was all about clouds and cool because he's sick of sun and heat. We sort of were pulling in opposite directions in that regard. Good time though- except when the AC in the car went out halfway across Calif. headed toward Yuma. :)

Now I get back and it's 100 deg. here only rather than 6% humidity it's about 86% UGH!

So the Norwegian Princess and Queen Zed will soon meet. I wonder if they will have a royal tea party... Do members of royalty partake in Cosmopolitans?

Here's my prediction of the 'tea' party...

Hahhahahah Bookie, that's hilarious. Good prediction I'd say. I'm fairly certain that the participants in the royal tea party will have Cosmopolitans at least once. I do know first hand that QZ makes the best iced tea in the country, however, so perhaps Cosmos won't be the ONLY drink of choice.

Sounds like your visit with Marm was great fun. Hope Wiggle has recovered today. I'm abstaining from the guesses since I know what all 4 of you look like.

Kaili, your weather sounds exactly like ours here in MN. It's been a mess. At least you escaped for a short time to dry out and San Diego! What fun! Welcome home!! :)

Butter, how early does my end of the Butter-phone need to be up and running? You never know--I may still be up when you're leaving in the wee hours.

Tess - If you are in contact with Butter, find out what part of TN she is going to be in! Friendly folks here would like to meet her!

Tess

Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 06:46 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Tnt, she's going to be way the other end of TN from y'all. I don't know what route she'll take to get home though. I'll find out. :)

Thanks TTF. That's what I tried to say.

Tess

Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 07:18 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Tnt, I checked out the route and she'll be a few hundred miles from you. It's about a 600 mile drive that day--probably a little more-- and that's if she goes directly home.

Well!! I do believe a person just almost has to go thru Alabama to get from N. Carolina to Louisiana!! Hhmmm?? Fire up that Butterphone, Tess! :)

Tess

Sunday, June 30, 2002 - 08:56 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Hmmmmm I do believe I mentioned that you might just be at about the half-way point on that long drive Abby. I'm not sure what day it is though.

Incoming from Miss Buttercup at 9:49 CDT. She got a late start but she's on the move! QZ, here she comes!! :)

Tess

She's making up for lost time, too! Smoking down the freeway, leaving a Greyhound in her dust and only 20 miles from Mississippi already. Keep on the look out for this vehicle if you're travelling through the southern part of the US today.

Bye bye, Mississippi and Hello, Alabama! She's smokin!! The heck with road construction!

Abby! MissButtercup is waving to you as I type! Hopefully she'll see you on the trip back! :)

Just got off the phone with Road Warrior BC...she is currently experiencing the nightmare known as rush hour in Atlanta. Seems her ETA was just a wee bit off...she will not be arriving as previously thought at 7:00PM, but will be rolling in at approximately 9:30PM instead.

<QZ decides it will not be bad form to start without BC by having a teeny "Welcome to NC" cocktail.....>

Tess

Monday, July 01, 2002 - 03:43 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
QZ, I'm in complete agreement regarding the cocktail. I think it was somewhere in the middle of Mississippi road contruction heck where I reminded her about the lost hour. Better mix up a pitcher in about 3 hours. She's now out of Atlanta and gone right into "an insane thunderstorm". Personally I've never met a sane thunderstorm.

Qz--better make that a pitcher for you and a pitcher for the road warrior princess. :)

Storm is worse with monster hail. I suggested pulling off the road since the RWPBC said she's not moving anyway.

Tess

Whooohooo! She's hit South Carolina. Won't be long now.
