Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Alice Date: 17 Jun 00 - 10:49 AM Allan, you and Bill can come back ANYTIME. Is next summer too soon? Regarding housework, folks, even my storage room was cleaned for this visit, and it's a good thing, too. Wayne slept on the floor in there. I just wish my yard had shown off more blooming flowers. We wandered around looking at little spots of garden, the mutating columbines, the antique sweet peas, but it is too early in the season for much to be showy. Hey, guys, I forgot to tell you the story of digging all the flat stones out of the grass of my yard and hauling them in a toy wagon to build the rock garden in back of a the garage.... and how the telephone company killed my weeping birch... Anyway, folks, it is fun to show and tell in real life where we live, so Bill and Allan can picture us as we are at home when we communicate over the Mudcat. Alice |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: BlueJay Date: 17 Jun 00 - 04:26 PM Tony Burns- DUST?? If I were you, I'd wait until after they leave, when the dust actually settles. My wife, Tammy, worked hard to just try and keep the house up for their visit. Hard, with the kids. Bill and Allan are very un-demanding. In my house, they stepped over kids, pets and toys the whole time without a grumble. I don't think they are going to worry about a little dust on the secretary. I know it made a big impression on Katherine, age 9, when Bill gave her a big hug before they left. Wish I'd had my camera handy. ENJOY your visit, don't fret about appearances. I know our Mudcat Diplomats aren't giving it a lot of thought. BlueJay |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Tony Burns Date: 17 Jun 00 - 06:38 PM Thanks to everyone for the advice. No more cleaning!
Attention attendees...If the pile of stuff looks like it might contain something fragile please step around it. If the dust makes you sneeze, please step outside. Only pay attention to the music and friendship. All else is illusion. The basket in the bathroom contains extra toilet paper.My job is done. Now the waiting begins. |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Alice Date: 17 Jun 00 - 07:22 PM Tony, all you need to prepare at this point, if you have not already, is enough film for your camera, plenty of blank cassette tapes to record the fun, and batteries for your tape recorder, if necessary. |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Crowhugger Date: 17 Jun 00 - 07:46 PM Oh, Alice, thank you for mentioning blank tapes! Time to start a list methinks. Tony, if the waiting's too much, you can come and clean my place. BTW, Tony, Mom can't come. Too bad, 'cause she's been practising and I haven't. Is Davey bringing his mandola? A month of trying not to get too excited too soon came to an end today. I CAN'T WAIT!!! (sorry for shouting, but it's a HAPPY shout!)
Singing and dancing when I should be working, |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Big Mick Date: 18 Jun 00 - 11:35 AM On a serious note, folks, I hope that descriptions of your event will be placed in the other thread (the excellent adventure thread) so that we have a complete description of the trip in one place. We can use this one for jokes and such. Just a suggestion. All the best, Big Mick |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Tony Burns Date: 18 Jun 00 - 11:38 AM Thanks Mick. It's only drizzling now. I agree with you about posting reports in the other threads. This one was just to keep the organization of this day in one place. |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Rick Fielding Date: 18 Jun 00 - 10:58 PM Allan here: Rick has posted a list of attendees on the other thread (I haven't looked - is there a link here?). The good news is that the sun showed up just about the same time we did. |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: balladeer Date: 19 Jun 00 - 12:06 AM That was a lovely party, Tony. I loved your Wife at Usher's Well, Sophoclees -- and intertwining with you on the back porch, Banjo Bonnie -- and hearing that good ol' picking behind If Tomorrow Wasn't Such a Long Time, Michael K. Thanks for the memory. |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: MMario Date: 19 Jun 00 - 08:29 AM There was intertwining going on on the back porch??? |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: WyoWoman Date: 22 Jun 00 - 02:06 AM I feel so slighted. We didn't do any intertwining at all at LEJ's house. I want a rematch ... WW |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: Little Neophyte Date: 22 Jun 00 - 06:48 AM WyoWoman, all you have to do is snuggle up to someone and cuddle real close |

Subject: RE: Allan and Bill in Toronto From: balladeer Date: 22 Jun 00 - 11:03 PM I make no apology for cuddling -- do it every chance I get -- even on a damp back porch :-) |
