    Whew...finally got packed!!! Now just need to have happy hour, then go out to eat. For once, I might get some sleep before our travels...usually I am up till 3 am packing! Ummm, Dee, I am VERY curious as to the direction your poem was headed! You need to share the rest of it with us...just do symbols for any naughty words...lol.

    Lori, Lots of work you two have done on your home! I like projects like that, because you can make such an improvement, and then enjoy your hard work. Do you have an "Old West Town" on your property??? Too bad that tin was not in a large enough quantity. Hope you had a fun trip anyway. Good luck with all the house painting!

    Thanks for all the birthday and trip wishes,everyone! Lori, I'll be sure to wave when we are over AZ! I'll miss you all terribly!

    Pau Hana,

    Kathy

    I am also curious to hear the end of Dees poem.  Maybe she will finish it later. The boys were so busy today and wanted to decorate and set up a Bon Voyage party for you wahine.  I think they got drunk working on the project.  Decorations are pretty lame anyway, but I hope it doesn't stop everyone from dropping in tonight.  I will be here...poolside. Come out and join me for a margaurita or drink of your choice.....Hugs to ya all.....HunkyD

    Hunky, you are the best, what a nice Bon Voyage for Kathy. I actually just got off the phone with her! Had a nice little chat, she just got out of the shower and was getting ready to go out to dinner with hubby. Maybe next time, we can chat longer. I'll have one of those margaritas with you Hunky and a toast to Kathy. Will wait for Dee to show up with the rest of that cheer!

    That was such a nice surprise to get the call from Lori! Thank you so much. Margaritas are kicking in, so better stop drinking and get back to last minute things. Hope Junie had a good weekend being the house guest for a change! Still waiting for the rest of your poem, Dee! And pics of Avery's birthday, Jaybird! You all take care, and keep the HTL hopping while I am gone......

    Off to the land of koalas,

    just a quick pop in to wish Kathy a safe and fun trip!  Looking forward to hearing about your OZ adventures!!!  I be plumb wore out--think it is almost as much hard work to travel and be a guest as it is to stay home and have guests!   Did have a fun little trip--managed to go to the casino twice--never won much of anything, but we're not down too much, so that was fun!    Made it home today in time for a bbq at friends' here--so.....just now getting settled down, but fading faaaassstt!!

    Be back tomorrow to catch up and have a few drinks.  Big, gigantic HUGGGSSSSS to all of you!!!

    Junie, you are really on the go.  I still can't believe the kind of energy everyone has.  I still feel like a fly caught under a watermelon seed.  LOL.  I should be happy that I am alive.  I wonder how Kathy is getting along in the big bird to OZ?  Jaybird...can you take your laptop on the big boys, and will they connect to wifi?  I guess power would be a problem though.  Maybe they have ports to plug into for power.  It has been a long time since "I flied the friendly skies!"   Lori, you have done a lot of work on your home.  We have too over the years. Now I think we both just want to play a little.  Junies place on the golf course sounds like my kind of living.  I am headed out to the pool.  Mondays can be slow, and I think I will just lay out here and watch for whales or something!!! lol...HunkyD

    Junie, welcome home you sweet thang! Grab a few beers and meet Hunky and I out by the pool. I'll jump in and be the whale!!!!!  LOL!

    Hunky, because of where we live, we couldn't get anyone out here to help us build from scratch, or get materials deliverd and at the time, Darrell was having problems with his rheumetoid arthritis. So that is why we bought the double wide and gutted it.

    I think Kathy was just going to LA today, then flying out in the morning for OZ, but I could be wrong! I have been known to be wrong before! Or just plain forgetful!

    Dee, Jaybird, CAZ, Stormy, Donna (if you're out there) hope you are all doing well, we miss you!

    Grabbing me a ML in the bar and heading out to the pool--wanna see Lori be a whale!!!   Jocks is icing down a big tub o' beer to bring out in a few minutes.  Hunky, thanks for saving me a chair poolside...ahhhhhhh, so good to sit down and ree-lax and let my Chinese Buffet dinner settle down.   Hard to believe that in our little rural, podunk place we have a great little Chinese place that recently opened.  Sure hope they make a go of it--I think it is wonderful for its small size and choices....

    Think Lori is right--Wahine is spending night in LA then off to OZ manana.   I am not sure I could drink enough to be on a plane for 15 hours--would need some strong drugs to knock me out--have never been able to sleep on an airplane, regardless how tired.  (well, there was one trip years ago with girlfriends to Vegas--I DID "sleep" on that trip home because they forced much booze into me prior to boarding but took such good care of me.   Got me buckled in my seat then made a pillow out of my jacket.   Set my tray table up and pushed me down--I slept most of that trip with drool sliding out and all yukky!......the good old days!!   LOL!!)

    OK, Lori--you're splashing too much water around.   Come out and sit with me and Hunky for a bit.  I hear noises in the bar--wonder who's here and coming out to join us????

    hugggssss to alll!!!

    Hi gals...just a quick hello. Still waiting for a hotel room to be ready for us, as we got to the hotel at 8:30 am. It is almost noon and one on the 15th floor should be ready soon. I am ready for a shower and a nap!!! Had a long trip from AL to Memphis, to LA, then 2 hrs later on the 15 hr flt to OZ. Weird to leave on Mon, and get here on Wed. Missed Tuesday somewhere! Wish we had been able to spend the night...but entire time was in the air. Boy this new plane (777) has the seats that lie flat for first and business class...like individual pods....but even as "coolies" in coach we were lucky and had a 3-seat row each, so could lie down (I saw 3 movies!!!). This hotel is in the downtown area, and we can walk to Darling Harbor, Opera House, etc., and above a HUGE upscale store, wtih upscale food court filling the basement floor. Netbook is slow as molasses though, so not sure how often I can get online. Parents will arrive early evening

    G'day for now....Kathy

    jeeze louise, Wahine--thought you had a night in LA before continuing on!  I'm tired just thinking about how tired you've got to be.   Hope you are getting a good long nap just now.   Glad you arrived safely in OZ--rest up!!   Keep us plugged in as you can and know we're thinking about you while you're gone.

    Grabbing a quick cold one from Jocks, but can't stay long.....company coming this week-end so got to get the B&B ready!!   Kids and grandkid--will be fun.   Plus, we'd already invited some old friends over for dinner on Sat and they've known Bob's dau from day one, so it will be a good get-together.

    Taking my beer out to drink by the pool--I hear someone out there having a good time!

    hugggsssss, junie

    This looks like a thread I would enjoy!  Last night I had a dilemna - Percoset or wine?  Can't have  both - LOL!  I almost posted that question on my Facebook status, but then realized that might not be a good idea!  I am still in pain from surgery and my last expander fill.  Last night I chose a half Percoset. Tonight I went for the wine instead!!!! :)  I hate pain pills, so I think the wine is better.

    Wahine, is that a border collie on your avatar?  I have 2 border collies.  One is a tri color and the other is a blue merle.  :)

    Welcome kitty to the lounge.  It's a fun place to hang out.  I can NOT wait until Friday is here.  Three day weekend.  Oh, the glory of it all.  Dee, I want a firepit out by the pool for Labor Day.  I don't know why, but I do. That is my only request.  Junie and wahine may still not appreciate a good fire, but I promise nothing will get burnt down.  Just something pretty to look at.  The firemen will be inside also...lol!  Kathy, hope you are having fun!!  I am going on my own little "walk about" now out around the pool.  Someone is bound to show up! 

    Chugs and kisses!  HunkyD

    Jocks, a mineral water, please, for our Percoset girl.  Welcome, Kitty!!  Pull up a bar stool or wander on out by the pool.   Hunky--I'm all for a fire pit--think they are great fun!   I'm quite the pryo as long as it isn't my kitchen--LOL!!!    What else can we think of?   Sure wish Jocks and Pants could be at my house this week-end to do all the cooking, serving, and cleaning!!

    Dee, I thought Wallaby's would punch you--or is that cartoon lore?   What I think are adorable are the Koalas.  Saw some once at the Nat'l Zoo in Wash DC--so cute.    Hope Kathy is rested up by now.

    huggssss, junie

    LOL!  You guys are so funny!  Tonight it's another glass of wine.  I'm going out of town for a day trip for work.  My husband thinks I'm nuts!  I'll probably be enjoying another glass of wine tomorrow night!  :)  See you all out by the pool!

    Morning girls and welcome Kitty. There are just a few of us regulars here, but (IMO) we have a BLAST. The name of the lounge is the "Hot Tatties Lounge" aka HTL. Our bartenders, which we call are TattieTenders, Pants & Jocks, quite the hotties. The outside garden and pool area we call the "Banana Hammock". Pool has swim up bar. We have an indoor pool, casino, lounge area with big screen tv and fire place. I'll try to go back and find the link for the pictures.....that is if you plan on hanging around!

    Kathy, so glad you checked in to let us know you arrived safely! Have fun, enjoy and rest. Hope we hear from you soon. Did Dad's prune juice bottles make it safely??? LOL!

    Junie, you simply amaze me! When do rest girl? Have fun at your party. Sending just one of boys over to help you, or you can have the fire crew! Your choice.

    Dee, I am ready for that bash!

    Hunky, I love the idea of a fire pit out by the pool. I too am a pyro like Junie. And leave it to you to find a way to put one there!

    I had a wonderful time yesterday with my friend. The trip was two and half hours one way, but went by so fast from all the gabbing we did! Had lunch at the Olive Garden, her treat for my birthday. When we got back to her house, had a few beers out on the patio before heading home. Left here at 6am and didn't get home until 7pm. Was a wonderful day. Going to town today and have plans to finish painting the house this weekend.

    Cheerd to all who are having a 3-day weekend! I'm on my way to Moscow (again) and then have Sunday off before another trip on Monday. The more I work the more I make so I'm flying a lot now, while I can. More flight cutbacks coming soon.  :(

    Yes we can use our laptops on flights that offer wi-fi, but not while on the clock (doh!). Many planes have outlets but many don't. You'd have to ask. Usually First class and Business class have them.

    Been laying low lately. Got another bottle of scotch (mccallans?) but haven't broken it open yet.

    I wish everyone a safe holiday weekend!

    Hi gals,

    Shopping for the long weekend at the cabin today.  I'm hoping our Sprouts still has Hop Stoopid.  There's an annual ice cream social on Sunday which inevitably turns into Kahlua and Baileys floats or Colorado Bulldogs.  We've been promised some much-needed rain this weekend.

    Wahine-have a great trip.  I still maintain that wherever you travel you should avoid the water.  The wine and beer are bound to be better.  Get rested and keep us posted.

    Jaybird-your moving and shaking job exhausts me.  Be safe.

    Junie-again with the company?  Your Bed, Breakfast, and Booze marches on.

    Lori, Hunky, and Dee-have a great holiday weekend.  I'll be thinking about you around the new firepit.  Keep those firemen near by just in caseWink.

    Kittycat-welcome to the madness.  Pull up a bar stool, and I'll have Jocks pour you a glass of wine.

    Cheers all

    Carol(AZ)

    Hi everyone.  Wow, can't believe they put a firepit in for us at HTL!  Junie, you are a Triple B' hostess for sure.  I hope you have a great weekend.  Drop in if you get a chance.  CAZ....I know you will have fun at the cabin.  Going to have to find out what a Colorado Bulldog is.  I wish you great weather and a good time.   Looks like we do have at least one fireman standing by at the lounge.  Kathy, I hope you are having a blast!  I know it will be tough coming out of the jet lag.  Hope you can pop in!  We miss you!  Thanks for the info on wifi jaybird.  I don't do air travel much anymore.  I wish you a wonderful few days in Moscow.  Enjoy the scotch.  That malt whiskey always curled my lashes.  Now mine still aren't long enough to curl....lol!  Lori, Dee, kitty, guess we will have to keep the fire burning this weekend.  Later all!  HunkyD

    Hunky--what a fantabulous job on the fire pit!   And, to see your smiling face in the pool!!!  How GREAT!!!   I surely did need that good laugh just now.    Found out a while ago that kids are coming a day earlier than planned--had to speed up my get ready process.   Tired of writing out a grocery list and planning meals, so jumped in here for a few cold ones--maybe more than a few!!   Up all night with dog--bless his heart, he had a grand mal seizure--worst one, ever.   He developed seizures several years ago after a nasty run-in with a pick up truck and has been on Phenobarbitol ever since with no problems.  Vet now worried about liver damage, so wanting us to wean him off.    Have been months at reducing dosage, but apparently, he still needs more than the reduced dose we'd got him to.  sigh--got to work trip in to vet somehow tomorrow!   And, bigger sigh--our forecast for the holiday week-end is cooler than normal temps and rain most every day!   Probably won't be much boat time for the kids.  grrrr.

    ahhhh, Pants has filled up my bucket with lots of ice cold ML.....heading out to the fire pit to join Hunky in the pool!!!!

    huggggssss to all for a safe, happy holiday....pretty sure I'll be sneaking in to check up on things!!!

    Okay, I got the smores and weeners to cook over the fire tonight. Somebody please bring the long fork type thingy's. Hunk, Did you get your tongue pierced special for the party tonight? lol

    I Googled the Colorado Bulldog and it has vodka, kahlua, and milk on the rocks, then add a splash Coca Cola to it, stir and enjoy. I think we should try these tonight. Junie sorry to hear about your furry baby, I hope he feels better today. Carol, have fun at the cabin, get your Hop Stoopid on! :) Kathy, g'day mate, I hope you are having a blast in the outback! Wow Jaybird, we can't keep you on the ground long enough to get you in the lounge, get home soon and be safe. Lori, Hunk,Junie,Kitty and anyone else that wants to come out ....LETS PARTY!!!!

    LMAO.....Hunky, I think you have out done yourself! That is awesome! Love how you put yourself in the pool with your bottles of diet Coors. Too too funny. Let me say, and I am sure I speak for everyone, I sure appreciate you taking the time to brighten up the HTL with your pictures! Oh and look at the hair growth!

    Junie, I too am sorry to hear about your fur baby and hope that he is at least not in any pain. Have fun with your party, I hope the weather cooperates for you. Those kids that are coming early can just help you out!

    CAZ, have fun in the mountains and have some I SCREAM for me, I'll keep to my Duck Farts, not a big fan of kahlua. Hope you were able to find some Hop Stupid, we don't have any of those "healthy" stores up here. I wish we did.

    Jaybird.....safe flying. Hope you can get yourself some more scotch. Gotta make that money when you can.

    Kathy, I just know you are having fun. Enjoy Enjoy Enjoy! We miss you.

    Dee, I have the "long fork type thingy's" for our smores and weenies. I can't wait for you to get home and see the new fire pit and our fireman standing guard!

    I am having neighbors over on Sunday for a barbeque (what few we have) Most are just weekend visitors from down in the Phx area. But it will be fun. Hope everyone else is doing great. Heading out to the pool to see if Hunky is still there.

    ChEARS!

    Just dropping in to tell everyone to have a safe holiday weekend.  My dh and I are going to be dealing black jack tomorrow night for a gig that 2 of my brothers have.  They have a little casino business on the side.  Sorry Junuie - but they just play with phoney money, mostly for fundraisers.  The people who still have money at the end of the night get to bid on prizes.  Some of the gigs have free drinks others don't.  I like to deal to an all male table (they seem to buy me plenty of drinks hopeing I'll do a little cheating for them)

    Hunky - love the pic of the fire pit and fireman.  My dh is a firechief and hates firepits, fireworks, candles. etc.  In fact when our boys were small he would let them hold sparklers only if they had the fire proof gloves on.

    Drink up - stay safe.
