LuAnn you have so many takers out there in Pondersland to pick you up "On a farm in West Central Ohio"

You are most welcomed to join us for some 'shake and bake'!

Oh Annette! I forgot to tell you that I'm bringing a friend!

Kittyzee · « **Reply #34 on:** July 20, 2009, 08:15:38 PM »

Annette, I am longing to be at your party! I will be with you in spirit--as you visit, eat and toast each other and talk "pond talk"!!

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #35 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:44:38 PM »

We make a toast to LuAnn, in the nice way of course.

No prob sooks!

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #36 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:46:33 PM »

Head count for those bringing goodies is 11 including me and DH.

And LuAnn in spirit.

Jonna · « **Reply #37 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:51:32 PM »

Darn! Add me in spirit too. If we had gone north as planned we'd be in Palm Springs now and I could have been there :'( I'll raise a toast to you all from waaaaay to the south.

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #38 on:** July 20, 2009, 09:59:14 PM »

Ohhhhhhh!!! That would have been so fun Jonna if you could join us! You still have time to change your mind!!

So that's 2 in spirit

Since you are serving wine, there may be several of us in the spirit...

Limo? Wow!

I can't wait to meet all of you!

Mikey · « **Reply #41 on:** July 21, 2009, 08:33:41 PM »

Jessica: Let me know if you would like me to pick you up on my way to Annette's.

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #42 on:** July 22, 2009, 10:21:26 AM »

Count me in as being there in spirit too!

Take pictures.

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #43 on:** July 23, 2009, 12:10:40 PM »

You're in LeeAnne!

Just a weather forecast (warning) Jessica - It's gunna be rip roaring HOT!!!!!

We've been dealing with upper 80's this week and the weather people say it's heading towards the mid 90's this weekend (Saturday being the high point). The evenings have been cooling down so here's hoping it does on Saturday!

What I'm going to be suffering...........

But for you............

Jerry · « **Reply #44 on:** July 23, 2009, 02:29:11 PM »

101 here 85 at Lake Forrest. Besides at 6:00 it cools down. It will be fine.

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #45 on:** July 24, 2009, 04:19:34 PM »

Get directions for Mikey to pick you up or have you pm me for directions!

Mikey

can pick you up for the drive south to my house. Just in case you were wondering I've met Mikey on a few occasions with other Ponders and at local plant sales. He's a cool upstanding guy

mascot · « **Reply #46 on:** July 24, 2009, 06:58:48 PM »

How much did he give you to say that, Annette?

Not enough but I didn't want to scare Jessica off

miguynmkoi · « **Reply #48 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:33:45 PM »

Jessica called me tonight and she will hopefully get a ride with Mikey if he checked his phone messages. I will call him in the morning just to make sure.

I recall the hand-held cardboard sign and the looks Mikey got while standing at the gate entrance when we picked up Kaz from her worldwide cruise last year?

Beware Jessica!

Which is why the Governator gave me an early release along with 27,000 of my fellow roomates.....

I got Jessica's phone message and I will talk with her tomorrow afternoon.

MikeW and I were taking turns holding the "Kaz" sign and I think he may have actually been holding it when Customs finally released Kaz into our care....

jclements · « **Reply #50 on:** July 25, 2009, 06:50:20 AM »

Oh no, not a cardboard sign?! Lol! Sorry for getting in touch with everyone so late! See you this evening.

Jerry · « **Reply #51 on:** July 25, 2009, 06:53:44 AM »

Jessica if you don't come be assured my cousin Carmine will be visiting you.

jclements · « **Reply #52 on:** July 25, 2009, 09:34:42 AM »

Ahhhh! No visits from Carmine, please!

LOL!!

LeeAnne151 · « **Reply #53 on:** July 25, 2009, 08:04:32 PM »

Well, are you having fun yet?????

Mikey · « **Reply #54 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:54:39 AM »

Yes LeeAnne, we had a great time. Annette and family were wonderful hosts.

That's Annette's house in the background beyond the balloons. I'm not sure but I think these balloons may have been for the party at Annette's neighbor. This was a partying neighborhood tonight and parking was at a premium.

Our guest of honor Jessica with MikeW.

Blind 'Too (Michael) on the right.

Our leader Jerry on the left talking with Sooks (Billy) on the far right and Billy's friend in the middle.

And while we were busy chit-chatting, Annette was busy at the grill with pork ribs and beef kabobs.

Blind 'Too telling Annette a story like only Michael can tell...

MikeW going in for the dip...

And no I didn't forget that this is a POND party....

Time to dig in....

And dig in we did. Very tasty kabobs & ribs.

Annette's DH & DD

Jerry & Elaine

It was great company, great food and excellent hosts. Thanks Annette!

Thank you, thank you, Mikey for great pics of a party that I would have loved to attend!!

Annette, your home and food and ponds look wonderful and you have a beautiful family! Do all of you feel the hugs coming all the way from Ohio??!!

Jerry's hair looks great--heck everybody's does and Jessica--I am soooo jealous! Thanks for posting the pics Mikey, it's the next best thing to being there!

Joyce · « **Reply #56 on:** July 26, 2009, 06:00:15 AM »

I am so jealous!!!!

Looks like I missed a fantastic fiesta, friends, food, flora, fish, FUN!

Annette, you have a beautiful house, gardens and ponds.

LOVE those succulent centerpieces!

jclements · « **Reply #57 on:** July 26, 2009, 06:39:10 AM »

Annette's home and gardens are something else for sure--amazing. She and her family prepared some of the tastiest food as well.

Many thanks to Annette and family for hosting, Mike for the ride, and everyone in attendance for being such great company!!

The party was a lot of fun and the company even better...thanks Annette for all the great food and having all of us over!

Indiana Karen · « **Reply #59 on:** July 26, 2009, 07:59:48 AM »

It looks like you guys had a great time. I'm jealous too

Annette, I love your outside "party" area. Your table centerplaces are beautiful, the food looks delicious and I would give anything to have a grilling area like yours.

Thanks so much for posting the pics.
