As a customer of this joint, I can say with 100% honesty (a rare event but this is special) that the berries at this place are, by far, the finast and biggest blueberries I have ever seen. They have the flavor of the wild berries and the size and juiciness of....I don't know what.

I didn't connect these MAMA members with their farm until this idea came up but boy howdy are we in for a treat! The weavings in the studio are superb and the setting really very pretty.

I propose a kids' blueberry tongue contest.

This sounds like a berry good time!

[MaxaMini]

Shoot. Two days before I get to be Father of the Bride. I don't think Mart will allow my absence.

[yellowmininy]

I dunno, Father of the Bride with a blueberry tongue could be just the thing!

What time will we meet there?

Since the farm is also open to the public, let's beat the crowds and say around 5 a.m.

Actually, how does 11 a.m. sound?

I think it would be a great place for the rehersal dinner.

[jcsinnh]

Since there are already plans being made to disrupt the wedding, why not start a day or two early? Practice makes perfect.

I thought we were keeping the Massive MINI Nuptial Crash Rally a surprise for Ed and Mart? You've ruined the surprise.

Just so the count is correct you may want to revise the list. Looks like John is listed twice.

11am sounds good to me!

[GBMINI]

A nearly secret event? Silence since two days after the thread was first posted? Any MAMA email gone out to every member?
Sadly for all of you, I spotted the thread hidden away here in the depths of the NE MINI2 sticky list - now almost longer than the non-stickys!

Sounds like a fun day.

MAMA mail will be going out soon. Just have to firm a few details.

[jcsinnh]

GBwho?




Oh......Ian. Hi, Ian, where you been? Vegas?
