I had too much fun yesterday to remember to hand in two checks to Ian for the MoP raffle! Sigh, I will have to put them in an envelope and stick on the new 41 cents stamp and mail to him!

What a great event you Cape Codders put on yesterday! My friend declared she had a great time riding in my Mini and going to the BBQ! I love the soap bubbles--I am sure the duckies at the rear top roof delight in the bubble baths they get every time! We never saw so many people smile & chuckle at the parade we put on in downtown Chatham. Never knew we could make their day in their almost miserable existence (?)!

An excellent weekend ... many thanks to Steve, Libby, Bill, Lucky and all who created the day

(and I'm so glad GPMINI got hit - now I don't have to worry any more!)

Ditto from Carol and me! We had a GRRRRREAT time. Lucky and the Veginator were fantastic centerpieces to a wonderful day!

So...Ian...you think you're safe now? Didn't help me prevent a second time!

Brian - in this case "hit" means "tagged"...as is caution tape, ducks, balloons, flashing lights, stuffed fish, cat upchuck, spilled nail polish, and other humorous decorative additions to the GP.

I have no idea when this happened...I was kidnapped from a sound sleep and forced to participate at (duck)bill-point. It may look like I am having fun, but what you don't see is that Rick has the end of a piece of piano wire that was tied around my {insert name of precious body part here} and was threatening to yank really hard.

Ok, that kind of "hit" I understand. I thought you were talking about dented metal!

I'd also like to thank my gracious hosts for the comfy couch and delicious breakfast this morning. I bought fruit and yogurt on the way home, I was so inspired
