Less than a week until I get to visit with you! Dance around a fire! Eat yummy foodstuff!

*does a happy dance in her office at the mere thought of all the bonfire frivolity* 

Hey there...I've had a couple requests to confirm the date of the bonfire, and it is in 3 weeks now...October 25th. The usual details....bring a dish to pass, your bathingsuit, something upon which to sit. If'n you've got wood to burn, that works too. We have a couple surprise visitors coming in from out of town that I'm geeked to get to share with ( Read more... )

Bonfire announcement!

I know it's been a while, and this one is quite a bit out, but I wanted to make sure that everyone could come. October 25th. My house. Fire. Food. Friends. Fun.

Good morning, this is mike... texas_leech.  Due to some sad happenings in Jen's family, she is going to have to cancel this weekend's festivities.

My life is insane. Just sayin'. In the past week, my grandpa has been put in ICU (still there, breathing issues, spent a week in Roseville with Grandma, he was sedated and fell out of the bloody bed last night.

My Grandma may not have been the baking sort of Grandma, but I could play pinochle and order a filet and a kickin' shirley temple by the time I ( Read more... )

The sun is shining, and I'm still covered in snow. Or, at least my yard is. But, in order to start thinking about spring and making sure that I get on your calendars...I'm contemplating dates for the first bonfire of the year. I'm thinking then end of  April is safe. Right? The 26th...does this work for everyone? 

For those that aren't going away this weekend, there will be a fire of bonliness on Saturday evening. Dusk happens a bit earlier, so the fire will probably start a bit earlier this time. If you have any questions, please let me know. I hope to see you then!

Oh, and yesterday I went to see Beowulf. Have you seen it? What did you think?
