245.0. "SUMMER COOKOUT AT PUTIPUT CATTERY" by USDEV1::NDC (Putiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313) Fri Apr 03 1992 15:54

    I've decided to just pick a couple of dates for my summer cookout
    to give everyone an opportunity to clear those dates and arrange
    carpooling.
    
    Since Sandy Merritt wants to have her cookout at the shelter in
    June, I'm going to aim for July 11 or July 18th.
    
    So hold those dates!  I already have two folks who want to come!!
    
    More details as they develop.

    Oh - if any of the west coast or UK feliners have plans to travel to
    this area during the summer, let me know and perhaps I can arrange
    to have the cookout so you can come.

    Alright Lisa!  I knew we could count on you.  Keep me posted on
    your plans.
    
245.4Me too!GRANPA::CCOLEMANTue Apr 07 1992 09:355

    If we have the gathering at someone's home, I will be able to bring
    pictures of my two if the host(ess) has a VCR. I only have videos of
    them!!! I'm such a bad mom! I guess I'll just have to get off my butt
    and get that new camera I've been promising myself for a year! ;-)
    
    Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Just a side note, Nancy.  I'm not sure which date it is, but one of the dates
that you picked is the CFF International show in Ohio.  I may be gone to Ohio
for that weekend (I think it's the 11th).

    Did I hear sombody say cookout?
    
    Nancy, I asked Jesse how your last one was, he got a faraway look in
    his eyes, and walked to his dish and sat down. I swear he's the only
    cat I ever saw that sits quietly and waits to be fed, and fed, and fed.
    When I can't find him I just check his dish to see if he is waiting for
    the next meal.
    
    I will keep some dates open in July.

    nope, I have two who sit in front of their dishes, in hopes I'll get
    the hint.
    
    
245.11USDEV1::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313Wed Apr 08 1992 09:365
    
    Well, I have TWO VCR's so that shouldn't be a problem.
    
    I suppose if July isn't good we could make it the end of May.
    
245.12MAGEE::MERRITTWed Apr 08 1992 10:179
    Nancy....if need be plan it in June...and I can work the
    shelter field trip around your get together.   That would be
    no problem for me.  
    
    Try planning it for the time that most of the feliners who are
    not from this area..... plan on being here!!!

    My cookout is still a "go".  It looks like I'll be aiming for
    the weekend of the 11th.  Now I know there's a Focus/M1 release
    that weekend and I'm hoping it doesn't interfere.

    Nan,
    
    The 11th of July is good for me....the following week I have a big
    to-do with some friends of ours....  Let me know if everyone else
    is free that weekend too....

    July 11th is firm!   I was worried because there was a FOCUS release
    schedule for the 12th.  Its been postponed to August 8-9 so that's
    no longer an issue.  Also, our organization is having their annual
    outing on the 18th of July.
    
    I have two grills - a full size one and a table top model that I
    won at a cat show :^)  So we should have no trouble grilling whatever
    anyone wants.
    
    Oh - and CC is due today.....   tension mounts!!  So there will be
    kittens!!
    
245.18AYRPLN::TAYLORFREE HUGS! 1st come, 1st serve ..Thu May 21 1992 11:247
I'm sorry to say, Nancy, that I don't think I'm going to be able to make it.
I believe that's the weekend of the CFF international show and I'll be 
out in Ohio for it.

wwaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!! )-:

245.25I had a GREAT time!\STUDIO::COLAIANNIMon Jul 13 1992 10:2119
    Hi All!
    
     I went to the Putiput Cookout Saturday, and I must say, I had a ball!
    There were quite a few people there, but don't ask me to list them all,
    because I know I'll for get someone! I'll leave that to someone else!
    ;-) (Yup, I'm a chicken!) 
    
     There was tons of good food, and lots of kitty pictures, and lots of
    great people, and lots of Putiput kitties!
    
     I want to extend a GREAT BIG "THANKS" to Nancy for opening up her home
    to us all. Also for being so thoughtful, and having a 'surprise'
    birthday cake for Mike and me! It was a wonderful day!
    
     Thanks again Nancy!

    and with all those cats, it is always like being in kitty heaven.

    the good food.   I had a ball!!!!!
    
    To Linda Lust - I'm sorry I didn't get your mail sooner but consider
    yourself invited down for a visit to meet the kitties.  And maybe
    I can be convinced to have another get together soon.

245.29Nancy, please have another! SPEZKO::RAWDENCheryl Graeme RawdenTue Jul 14 1992 15:453
    Nancy, I second Mary's suggestion -- how about one at the end of the
    summer?  Mary, I'll pick you up since you're on my way.  Just don't
    make me follow Biff around with one of those strips.  :^)
245.30CRUISE::NDCPutiput Scottish Folds DTN:297-2313Thu Jul 16 1992 09:214
    Well, since Bonnie is due August 30th and Tiffany (who is definitely
    pregnant) is due Sept 5th, I'll be around.   I'd be happy to have
    another cookout.  You guys start picking a date.
    
245.31Almost any time is good for me!STUDIO::COLAIANNIThu Jul 16 1992 09:588
    Oh No! Pick a date!? ;-) Well, I should be available pretty much any
    weekend, except August first and ninth! Does this help? 8-)
    
    I would prefer it NOT be on the holiday weekend though if at all
    possible, although I could be persuaded if we have no plans! ;-)

    after Laborday.  Is this ok?    I could make it Aug 29 if that's
    better.

245.42September 13th is the day!STUDIO::COLAIANNITue Sep 08 1992 10:4928
    Hi All!
    
      I got a call from Nancy DC yesterday, and she asked me to enter this
    note for her. Her cookout is this coming Sunday, September 13th! She
    needs to know who is goiung to be there. I guess not many people have
    contacted her. She really needs to know right away, so she can plan on
    how much chicken to buy, and needs to know who is bringing what.
    
     I'm going, and am planning to bring another one of my awesome fruit
    salads. Those who were at the last cookout should rememeber! ;-)
    
     If you would rather, you could contact me through mail, or this note,
    and I will call Nancy for you? I don't mind!
    
     BTW, Lynne, will the Meower power shirts be ready for delivery by
    then? Am I anxious to get mine? ;-) YUP!
    
     Please contact either Nancy, at 617-849-9771 or me through mail, or
    this note, or DTN 234-4470. Please let me us know what you are planning
    to bring for food too. I know someone (I forget who) is planning to
    bring a pasta salad, and Nancy is buying chicken. Other than that, the
    menu os pretty open.
    
     So let's hear from everyone!
    
    Love,

    Hey, Bill is out of town all week and I told him I'd be redecorating
    while he's gone.  Think we'll redo a few rooms in FUR!  Nancy better
    lock up her little bookittens and Mary Tamir better ensure my pockets
    are empty, empty, empty upon leaving the cookout on Sunday!  I'm in
    search of a redhead to complete our cat collection.  Then again, we
    don't have a blonde either.  Where's the note on convincing your spouse
    that one more is ok?  :^)

    about her cookout, she cheerfully wrote me today to say the following
    (like we didn't know this already, right?):
    
    "Nan, please post in FELINE that I have decided on Sunday, September
    13, for my cookout.  I need folks to get back to me and let me know who
    is coming, how many (friends and family are welcome) and what they are
    bringing.  Also, special dietary requirements.  If the weather is bad
    we will just have it indoors....  oh, and Mao is still missing."
    
    :-)
    
    BTW, Cheryl, I spoke with my friend Joan and she told me that Richard
    Gere is EXCELLENT in the sack.  She knows because she picks a different
    film star to sleep with every nite in her dreams, and in her dream with
    Richard, she said he was just "to die for."  :-)
    
    Nan
    (probably the only woman on the planet who does not find Mr. Gere
    attractive....   thank God ... I'd hate to get my clothes torn and
    soiled on Sunday when the fray begins over who gets Rich, baby!)
245.68They can have Richard! ;-)STUDIO::COLAIANNIFri Sep 11 1992 15:3822
    Nan,
    
     You and I can stand off to the side and watch the excitement together,
    as Mr. Gere doesn't do anything for me either, so you're not alone in
    that department! Should be fun to watch though! ;-)
    
    Cheryl,
      
      I'd love to come up and visit Chubs soon! I would also love to meet
    Beth! I'll have to settle for pictures Sunday though, so don't let Mary
    forget them! ;-) 
    
     Oh yeah, and I'll sing if I want to! ;-) 8-)
    
    Love,
    
     Yonee

    O.k. Yonnee....we can watch the fur fly.....  :-)  
    
    I'll bring popcorn......  Should be better than a movie!
    
    I better remember my pics this time of my family.  I always forget
    them.  And they DO love to show off....

    Can you believe we forgot to bring Richard!?  :^)
245.71And he was waiting too!STUDIO::COLAIANNIMon Sep 14 1992 10:167
    Cheryl,
    
     I know 'I' could have forgotten him easily, but I still can't
    imagine how 'YOU' forgot him! ;-) I called him last night, and he told
    me he sat and waited for you ALL DAY!!!! 8-)

    Cheryl forgets Richard....and Cheryl and Yonee forgets kitty pictures!!!!
    Geesh....
    
    I was real happy to meet everyone behind the notes and so happy
    I finally got to see pictures of BETH..who is a living doll!!
    
    We even got to meet K.C. and Leigh and meet little Gabriala Erin
    (straight ear fold) who they took home with them yesterday.

245.73I hang my head in shame! ;-)STUDIO::COLAIANNIMon Sep 14 1992 12:1119
    Sandy,
    
     I know, and I was so ashamed! I'm surprised Mary didn't give me a
    really hard time after I threatened to send her home if she forgot Beth
    pictures! ;-) She was very kind! Thanks Mary!
    
     Beth is a doll! She has a perpetual smily face! Can't wait to meet her
    one day!
    
     It was nice to meet the folks I have corresponded with, but never had
    a face to go with the name!
    
     Holly, Nick showed up and surprised even me! Now at least a few of the
    feliners no longer think I have an imaginary Husband! ;-) I knew you
    believed me, as you know him too! 8-)
    
    Love,
    
     Yonee
