I think the steering committee is a great idea - someone needs to collect the ice, another working the blender and another gather the glasses, another to make sure everyone is doing their designated steering and making sure there are no left-overs :D
Just let me know if you get a signal. And PM me your skype name.
I know you will be three hours behind me (I am on the east coast).
Thank you Glynda, we are looking forward to it.
Hmmm.... Steering committee. Will need to think about that one, is there an opening for a Margarita taste tester ???
Going to see if I can find an app for my Droid to use as a modem.
Hey Glynda,
You got enough margaritas if two more show up? My girlfriend and I are going to Pinetop for the week-end to play golf with a very good old buddy of 40+ years. We'd love to stop by at some point and maybe cause a little mischief. You can meet my new dog although she's still a handful....one year old female yellow lab, Maddie. Deidre and I are really looking forward to a long week-end in the beautiful White Mountains. Maddie'll be looking for a crystal clear mountain lake.
Ken
Hi Ken,
I am sure Glynda will be in touch. It will be great to meet you and Deidre. I'd love to meet Maddie too.
Jenny
Ken, I'll make sure there is plenty of Maggies. I am thrilled that you can make it and am looking forward to meeting you! Sending you a PM with address and phone number. There is a lake a mile or so down the road...haven't been there lately so don't know if it's crystal clear but it's wet.
We are really looking forward to meeting everyone!! Please be forewarned...Maddie can get pretty excited. But, she is very sweet and will be very good with any and all dogs. Jenny, I hope your trip from Australia is smooth, safe and fun!
Ken
It's 6pm here and in 12 hours we will be off to the airport. I have been running around like a chook with it's head cut off the last few days. Today I had to make some running repairs to a paddock fence (barbed wire) and I caught my hand and caused a skin puncture with a bit of bleeding. Wee it has been a little while since I had a tetnus booster (35 years :eek:) so I spend a bit waiting at the doctors surgery to get the injection. I am having a glass of white to settle the nerves and hope I can get some sl;eep tonight as it isn't great spenind 15 hours on the planne. Oh well it will all be worth it when I get there. See you soon.
Jenny
Safe travels Jen!!!
Oh Ken I wish I was there to meet you two. Remember Skype if possible.
Ken, I am so excited that ya'll are coming! I wish I could be there to meet you, Jen and hubby, and anyone else who shows up!
Glynda, John, Pattee, and I had a great time last year and I know ya'll are all gonna have a blast!
Hugs to all!
Leslie

Wish I was there!!! Have fun you guys and we want stories when you return. . . .
Glynda, are you guys on Mountain Time there? I'm gonna hold off on mixing my own margarita tonight to coincide with 5:01 pm whatever time you're on ;) (although who's to say that you won't be starting off even earlier yourselves...?!? :eek: :p).
Marianne
Even though I'm not going, I can tell you that we are on Mountain Standard the year round. Same thing as Pacific Daylight right now.
Debbie
Going to check out this Skype thingy now! I, too, will be waiting to raise a glass with all of you as soon as possible! Oh, how much fun you will have and what a joy it is to finally put a face with the names we know and love so much!
Hugs to all,
Leslie
I am in total panic at the moment but my Skype name is either Squirt's Mom or girffie....not sure what is used to find folks.....back to panicking......
Skype? I have skype, we can do that? I must of missed something:(
BIG SIGH,
Wish we were there.
Hugs,
addy
I think we are going to try to "get together" via skype if it will work up there. That would be so nice, huh?
Okay then..I downloaded an app for my Droid so it can be used as a modem :D I connected it to my PC and it works :D:D
So now if I can get 3G up at Glynda's...we will be all set. Will have to wait and find out when I get there tomorrow. If we can't get 3G, then you will have to wait for pics.
In the meantime, if you would like to give me your Skype addy (not Addy like in Zoe's mommy) but like in Address. I will load them in. If you don't feel comfy putting your addy in here, them send me a PM.
I'm getting a bit excited, gotta go off and get the fur butts stuff packed and ready. Water, food, meds, beds, toys, kongs, leashes, I need to remember to pack my own stuff too :o
My skype addy is johnee.insana
Do you need email addy? Not sure how this works!
Just your skype address. Not always but usually has a . in it somewhere.
Not finding a skype address?? But I searched yours and Pattee's name and sent a request.....HOPING this is ya'll! :D
Leslie... Just sent you a skype request.... your Skype name is Girffie
:D
WOOHOO!!! Heard from Terry, too! I'm signed out for the nite, storms moving in but I will catch you soon!
We have to get Saskia here too - she is on Skype ..... SSaaasssskkkkiiiaaa.
To all who are planning to go up to Show Low...Glynda just called and said do NOT go through Globe. Go through Payson (sp?) instead. There is road construction at Globe with major delays!
Ya'll enjoy!!!!
Not sure if my timeline is in sync to Skype with you all, but right now I am online on Skype and my Skype name is sasandyunah...what else could it be? :D
Sas and Yunah :)
ps I already found Leslie and added her...if that's okay? :)

Seriously, thinking of you all, and wishing you safe travels again as you head home or onward in your journey.

Have created a photo album, but having trouble getting pics uploaded. Stay tuned.
Jenny
Can't wait to see the album!!!! Thank YOU Jenny for sharing it!!!!
Wow... I had such a very enjoyable weekend. :D:D:D
It was great seeing Glynda again, and meeting Jenny and Chris, Ken and Diedra and Maddy the wild crazy and very, very happy doggie :D:D:D
Sorry the Skype didn't work out as well as I would have liked, :( seems we kept dropping Leslie, but the sheer joy on Jenny's face while video chatting with Terry was wonderful. I think I will need to add a group video chat application.
Food, drink, and great company..... It was absolutely wonderful and my fur butts really enjoyed their time watching the world go by on the very large front porch.... it was their favorite place and Glynda made sure they were comfy with blankets and pillows.... they were really pampered :D
Thank you Glynda for hosting such a wonderful weekend. :D:D:D
Got a couple of pics finally in the album.
I had an absolute blast. I just knew that my friends from K9C were going to be great in "real life". Thanks so much Glynda for giving us a place to stay and thanks to those who were able to make it. I know a few more of you really tried but it was just not to be. Always a next time.:D
Jen
Oh, the pics are wonderful! So nice to see The Steering Committee looking so well! I know ya'll had a blast. Thanks for sharing, Jen!
As usual, I look like a big fat sea cow; however, this time there were some contributing factors. I had ingested a whole lot of sea salt, seasoned salt and olive juice in my bloody marys and margaritas. I was pickled and cured for sure. :p
Speaking of bloody marys, I am attaching one of my better pictures taken on Sunday at a play date/brunch I hosted for a few of my dog loving friends and their burbutts. If you look really closely, you will count all or parts of nine of the 12 dogs who were there. I'm the forehead behind the brunette (Gil's sister, Sheila) on the right.
Everyone got along beautifully, including the dogs. :D If you look at the woman to the left of center (Jenna), you'll see a tiny butt to the right of her feet. That's Budda, an eight week old Chi with no front legs, who was the hit of the party. Jenna rescued him and his two one day old sisters on the day his owner took them to the shelter to be euthanized. Mom had six puppies but nobody would want to buy a dog with no front legs so they were discarded like yesterday's trash. Jenna bottle fed them but unfortunately, the girls didn't make it but Budda is a thriving, healthy and very active puppy. The second most popular furbutt, or should I saw furless butt, was my Lulu. She is the one under the coffee table begging for food. What a surprise...NOT!
It would have been a perfect day if not for Zelda, the Doxie, disappearing. Fortunately, her big brother Sam, a huge Golden Retriever, did his job and lead us to the crawl space under the house. We could hear her rooting around in the darkness and it wasn't until we broke out the food that she finally decided to come out. We were all relieved but none as much as Jenna. She was the only one skinny enough to fit through the hole and I was already eyeing her. :D

Hey Glynda, I can only see 9 dogs! I'll have another look when I put my glasses on.
I have a funny story that started when we arrived in the US that I would like to share.
I wanted to purchase a travel iron and for some reason every store I asked about it seemed to not understand what I was wanting. It wasn't until I mentioned it to Glynda in Show Low that I was informed it was my Aussie accent (I don't think there is one) and everyone thought I meant a travel lion. Why anybody would want a lion to travel with is beyond me but I thought it was funny and saw a small plastic toy who we named Con (Conair travel iron)to star in many of our holiday pictures. See below.....

I did manage to find my travel iron as well but it was not allowed on the cruise so it was held for my return and it didn't get taken out of the box. I got more use out of the lion than the iron.
