    here I am in the pool!! I mean if we have a labyrinth we gotta have a pool! Instead of mojitos I'll have a coke float please. If I fall asleep someone roll me over.

    You are right, of course, why not?  We had a pool party last summer and I forget who won the cannonball contest.

    GREAT BBQ QUOTES THROUGHOUT HISTORY

     

    Let it not be said that man is not without a true dedication to the art of grilling over an open flame. Throughout history, men, and women, have uttered truly memorable words on the sublime joy of charring large hunks of dead animal.

    Herein is a sampling of these august words.  I'm sure you will recognise some of them.

    "A sharp blade is a must for dicing and slicing" - Boadicea

    "I always think that the right background music is an essential part of a good barbecue" - Nero

    "Spare rib anyone?" - Adam

    "I would much prefer Bacon not to be on the menu" - William Shakespeare

    "Ow!  I burned me bleedin' arse off." Lady Godiva, not heeding her own advice

    "It doesn't hurt if you get sauce on your shirt." - Heloise

    "To BBQ or not to BBQ, that is the question" - William Shakespeare, Hamlet

    Did some ask for French Fries?

    For more entertainment we can have fry stacking contests and trophies.

    No BBQ is complete without coleslaw. Eli - next BBQ you can partake.

    or

    How about mashed taters? Sorry Reggie my pet turtle took a few bites. Y'all don't mind, do you?

    That turtle!  He walked away with my burger ten minutes ago.  He's cute, but what a little manace!

    I don't know if I'm very good at stacking fries, but I'll definitely sign up for the watermeon eating contest.  Oh, no!  That turtle is at it again AND he's cheating by starting ahead of time.  Naughty!

    Right on, Loral!  But when the turtle sees the "surf" items, he's going to make himself scarce.

    We'll be serving the BBQ all day long, but if you are ready for dessert, I made some of these marshmallow treats.  YES!  They are Cheetos treats!  Like I would forget to bring one of the key snack items of all time...  Oh, and just wipe your hands on the retriever.  Her coat hides the Cheetos dust very well.

    Of course if some of you haven't had your nails done already, you might just want to wet your nails and dig into the big bowl of regular Cheetos and you'll come out with this stunning look.

    Ooh, what a PARTAY!!!!!  Sadie (my yellow lab) has already hit the pool.  I'm loving the mojito in the red solo cup.  And here's my fruit salad contribution:

    For those that prefer burgers over dawgs.

    I think we are going to need more straws.

  • luvmygoats
    luvmygoats Member Posts: 2,484

    Wow - drinks from a fishbowl. Is that where "drinking like a fish" came from?

    Oh waiter, we need more straws.

    OK, who's misbehaving?

    Straws?  Will these do?

    Hope you all are up for a balloon ride.  Loral lined up a fewof them for us.  Don't forget the pre-flight champagne toast.

    Where's Meece, after she was so ready to get the party started yesterday?  Where's Eph?  I saved some BBQ scraps for Ruby.  Hope they can make it by for the Barn Dance Disco.

                                

    I'm going to put up a few more strands of lights while everyone is floating around in the balloons.  Hope your dream date dance partners are on their way.  My dream date has been partying all day already, but once you start him up, he'll never stop.

    Meece and Eph being West Coasters (sounds like a roller derby team) may still be working their way home yet. Bet we hear from them yet. Not my bedtime. Still here for fun. Never been on a balloon ride. Thanks Loral.
