Really looking forward to unwinding after what is sure to be a mad week of rushing about.

I'm thinking of going down to Pappadeaux after the cutting winds down. Been to one in Atlanta near Cobb Galleria and been to one in Houston not far from the Galleria on Westheimer. Enjoyed them both and the only one in Ohio happens to be in Springdale.

Just a few days until the gathering. Should be a decent-sized crowd, but there's always room for more. Anyone else planning on being there?

The gathering is this Sunday. Any other takers?

Unfortunately I can't make it. Family in from out of town. Hopefully next time.

Ken

Ken,
Sorry you can't make it. There will be other gatherings, though. :)

On a general note, I'm a little worried as I went to a place this evening that I thought would have pool noodles for sure. They didn't have any of the regular size, just the more expensive jumbo ones. So I guess I have to search tomorrow for some.

And I just love shopping on the busiest shopping day of the week... :wtf:

Family Dollar/Dollar General had/has quite a few of them at $1 per here. I'm planning on checking them tomorrow and grabbing a few.

Bought Dollar General out of pool noodles...have 20 or so.

Well, it seems I won't be able to make it after all. Transportation issues have come up (I don't have a way to get up there - we're down to one car and the wife's got to work). :( Oh well, perhaps there will be a Fall gathering. Hope to see everyone then. Oh, I'll be sure to stop by Family Dollar and stock up on pool noodles before they disappear for the season. Hope everyone has a great time. :cool:

A good day...rain held until we were basically done anyway.

Good day.

It was hot but we still had fun.

Jeff,
Sorry we missed you. I was hoping to meet you.

Lots of fun, as always! Chad is a great host! It's always fun to have gatherings like this whether if there are 6 people or 26 people (though that might make us pressed for space :) ).

Can't wait to do it again!
