Off-line discussions with Jan brought up the possibility for some
bicycling in the nearby Mine's Falls area if anyone's interested.
Thanks,

residing here now and....hmmm.... what was *your* answer?
I allow smoking in my yard if you pick up your butt...

| Count me in!! I'll bring a Greek salad (you didn't actually say, but it
sounded like you meant for this to be a potluck).
I'll also bring my croquet set.
I'm *psyched* for the fireworks. Missed them last year. CJ's right - these are
the best fireworks I've ever seen!!

Unfortunatly, I think I can make cj's POT LUCK BBQ. I am glag to hear

just let me know.

The fireworks are put on by Rock 101 WGIR and Atlas fireworks.
They synchronize them with music on the radio. It's really kewl!
I take my son and friends every year. Two years ago they had
fireworks lined up across the bridge over the merrimack. They
spewed sparks down into the river, gave the effect of a waterfall...
it was awesome!!!!
Good fireworks, good food, great time!

| 66.13 | | PCBUOA::DESHARNAIS | | Wed May 14 1997 12:49 | 7 |

if you want some of the hot dogs, fried dough, sausages or other such
goodies, get there at least 45min before the show. The lines tend to
be huge.

Hey, there may a business opportunity here. Cook *extra* stuff at
your bbq for a singles-chat lunchcart at the fireworks!

brought whatever kind of soda they preferred as well. I'll also chip
in toward something that can be barbecued.

| Well, as Barb mentioned...pot luck. This chipping in toward
the meats is a great idea! As I've been saying all along, you
just put out an idea and you guys really go with it.
So, we've got soda's, greek salad, souvlaki... my mouth is
watering already...
I should be all set on hamburger, cheese, rolls...
Oh, for those that have been paying attention... I don't think I'll
be doing the cooking! :-) (hot and sharp things are not my friends,
remember!). Not looking forward to BEING the bbq. I'm thinking on
getting my nephew over for the day and putting HIM in charge. We'll
see. He's trying to earn money for a trip to Alaska and he needs to
mow my lawn, so I just may *hire* him to chef also.

So here's a "so far" list of who's and what's
DEFINITES: FOOD:
Jan Greek Salad
Jan's sister (what is her name?) Souvlaki (shishkabob)
Atlant Hamburgers and rolls
AJ Soda and Ice
Bill Chocolate Cake
Barb
Harry
Joyce
Brian ENTERTAINMENT:
Bob

| 66.31 | Kids ages | CSLALL::JACQUES_CA | Crazy ways are evident | Fri May 16 1997 09:16 | 13 |
| Could I also get the names of the "kids" attending?
Like, Angeline is 2 1/2 (she's NOT a baby! :-) )
If Nancy and Corey make it, Corey's five. If Jill and Danny
make it, Kaitlyn is ten and Brad is....I think eight.
If Brenda and Alex come (I forgot to list them in the "maybes"),
Alex is about to turn four.
Thanks
cj *->
|
| 66.32 | Me too!! | CANON::BARROWS | | Fri May 16 1997 09:43 | 19 |
| Hi all,
Add one more to the list and 1-2 possible children {with none of my
own.. I rent them for days/weekends}. I'll confirm with them this
weekend and let you know for sure. Auntie has a birthday party to
attend on that Saturday and 1-3 nephews hide in my car when it's time
to leave...there's no telling how many will actually be in there...
I'll bring a macaroni salad and some chips. In looking at the name list,
I'm wondering if one grill will be enough? I'm not sure I could get mine
in my car but maybe someone has one they can bring? Just a thought..
I'm also willing to chip in on the meats. Let me know if there's
anything else?
Stephanie
p.s. Harry... *I'm* bringing the cards.. just in case! CJ... got the
scoreboard ready??
|
| 66.33 | | CSLALL::JACQUES_CA | Crazy ways are evident | Fri May 16 1997 10:10 | 10 |
| Stephanie,
I was thinking the same thing on my way in this morning. If
Jill and Danny can make it, I can get them to bring their grill
along in the truck, but that's not a certainty at this point.
If anyone else *is* able to - speak up! We can work out a
way to get it there earlier than the guests arrive.
cj *->

| 66.34 | | DANGER::ASKETH | Beware of Greeks bearing gifts... | Fri May 16 1997 10:27 | 10 |

> p.s. Harry... *I'm* bringing the cards.. just in case! CJ... got the
> scoreboard ready??
I've got the "official" scoreboard now. I just have to remember to bring it!
Terry gave it to me as a birthday present. ;-) Actually CJ I still have your
cards to give you back - keep forgetting. (I know - I'm sure you've been miss-
ing them terribly.)
B
|
| 66.35 | | CSLALL::JACQUES_CA | Crazy ways are evident | Fri May 16 1997 10:49 | 30 |
| Well Barb, I've been missing *most* of them :->
I meant to ask you to bring the scoreboard.
I think I may have the grill issue straightened out.
Somebody asked, off-line, who AJ is..that's Atlant's son.
STephanie sent me a nice note off-line and I will get back
to you Steph as today allows. Just very busy. I do believe
I have the plastic utensils (forks, knives, spoons).
Tables and chairs I usually borrow from our clubhouse and have
am awaiting a callback to confirm that I have those booked for
the day.
I have put on Angeline's christening and birthday parties with
the help of those tables chairs and clubhouse - so I'm getting to
be quite adept at being "houseman". :-) When I have a "family
function" like that, we generally number around 55 people (immediate
family and few friends), so those issues have long been settled.
I will try to get another updated list together by Monday morning
so we can see how this is all shaping up. If you need to do
"shopping" this weekend, however. Contact me off-line with any
questions because I may not be in here much today.
Thanks

| 66.36 | | TARKIN::LIN | Bill Lin | Fri May 16 1997 11:06 | 7 |
| re: extra grills
I had thought about this also. I will have to revive my gas grill,
which has not been used in several years. I'll work on it this
weekend.
Bill
|
| 66.37 | another quick note... | CSLALL::JACQUES_CA | Crazy ways are evident | Fri May 16 1997 11:21 | 14 |
| To answer one more off-line question.... the reason I
asked kids ages was for food planning and kid "coercing".
"Yes honey, there will be other kids there your age", or
"there's no one for you to play with - bring your bike!" ;->
But as food count goes, teen-agers (like the lovely Jocelyn),
will be figured as adults. Kids, like Angeline and Corey,
will be figured as "I think Joyce is going to need TWO chocolate
cakes" :-) (just kidding there)..
I'm sure you catch my drift.

|
| 66.38 | | PCBUOA::DEWITT | chasing rainbows... | Fri May 16 1997 11:32 | 6 |

Sorry CJ,
I won't be able to make it even though I am just across Rt 111 for ya.

to see theat chocolate cake from Joyce. Is it going to be shaped like a
Hershey Kiss? :-)

Hi Wendy,
Well, it probably depends on what's wrong with your grill. Mine
just needs to be checked and cleaned and probably refilled. If
you don't see a mushroom cloud behind the high school, then I was
successful in getting mine to work. ;-) If you're in the book
(or you send me your phone number), I'll try to give you a call.

| Bob,
That's great. I was trying to figure out a way to ask you
to do that instead of pies. We have the shishkabob, burgers,
and now steak tips. Getting a bit beefy there, so I was thinking
we could use something fowl.
And I'm right back out of here. I promise an update tomorrow
morning!

there're any favorites anyone had let me know.. I'm in my own element
in the kitchen...

(She was at Barb's 3/15 party.) She's bringing a veggie tray. I'll add a
Cherry YumYum to the list since Bob isn't bringing his pies ;^(.
(Besides, according to my family... you can't have a Memorial Day BBQ
without it....)
We'll have the Cherry YumYum this time and hold him to his pie for the

cherries......

| Ok, try again...had some typos if you caught this before I
deleted....
I am going to use Monday as a raindate if the fireworks are
moved. Radio station 101.1 (WGIR) will be announcing if they
are moved due to rain.
The Boston Herald today says that Sunday will be in the 70's
and sunny.
I am going to be out on Friday. Please get any add-on's or
"what I'm bringing" to me by then. Otherwise, I'm sure Barb
Asketh or Joyce Dewitt will be able to pass anything on to
me as they both have my home phone number and I expect Joyce
will be logging in on Saturday???? (I know you two don't mind
my volunteering you like that. :-) ).
Hmmm... I forget what my last note just said...
Well, I'll get a distribution list with directions done by
tomorrow.

I've missed over you somehow. Please write to me off-line
and I'll get them to you.
I'll try getting back in here before I leave today, but suggest
anything you need to change or add should be sent to me off-line
today, then deal with Barb tomorrow, Joyce on Saturday.
If I don't get back in here specifically.... have a nice weekend
to everyone and hope whatever your plans are, all goes safe and
happy!

| One Web source of weather info's not showing anything good for a BBQ
Sunday, though CH4 this morning only showed a small chance of scattered
showers for Sunday. Let's hope things are better than forecasted.

Fireworks have been postponed till Monday night, therefore cj's BBQ
also have been postponed till tomorrow. I've confirmed this with cj.

| Great BBQ party, cj! And you were right about the fireworks.
Outstanding! It was also good getting up there with people who
know where to park and where to sit/set up camp. The view from
practically ground zero is hard to beat. I can still feel those
explosions reverberating in my skull. ;-)
Bob, Brian and Barb ran the grills expertly. Turnout wasn't what
we had hoped, but I think we all understand that Monday was bad
for some due to other engagements. Still, there was a good crew
of about a dozen adults and half a dozen kids. Only a handful of
us went north for fireworks.
More from others...

| 66.71 | great BBQ | WRKSYS::BROWER | Pokey Smurf | Tue May 27 1997 08:40 | 12 |
| Yes great cookout!! I couldn't stay for the fireworks due to
the date change.. Somehow I think the ex wouldn't have appreciated it
if Jocelyne got home at 11:30.
Yumm grill duty :-) by the time everyone started to eat I'd
done a fair job of sampling just about everything. It was a plop-plop
fizz fizz evening but well worth it.
Little Brad playing badmitton. The lil guys got the fastest
hands I'd ever seen.. He could also put some pretty healthy english on
the birdie.
It was great to see everyone..

| Yes, the fireworks were awesome as usual!!!! And Ron even found us!! That's
like finding a needle in a haystack!
And the barbeque was great CJ!!! Looking forward to this being an annual event.
;-) Hey Harry - I brought the scoreboard but it's kinda hard to get any points
on it if you don't show up!! ;-p
Too bad it couldn't go off on Sunday as planned - sorry some of you couldn't
make it Monday.

| Sorry I couldn't make the bbq, had other plans. Sounds like you
all had a good time. Nice day for it!
Fireworks were great!!! Love them finales. Nice meeting up with you
Barb, CJ and Bill!! That was wild. Was waiting for my son to buy
his silly string at a stand, i look to the side and there was
BILL lying on the grass!! I mean, sheesh, there were only about
10,000 people there! :-)
How was it getting out of the lot for you guys? Wasn't too bad
for me...only about 20min. Two years ago I parked *real* close
and it took 1 1/2 to get out of the lot. I've learned..... :-)
Cheers!!

| I was in awe how easily we escaped the scene last night! I have
been there every year and never got out so quickly. I guess a
lot of people couldn't make the date change!
Missed a few of you yesterday, particularly the chips! :-)
But had a great time and was good to see my yard busy with
friends.
Please, feel free to come again! :-)

bring some cake with you? If so, save some for me! ;-)
Bill

| 66.77 | | PCBUOA::DEWITT | chasing rainbows... | Tue May 27 1997 12:14 | 6 |
| Well Bill, I was waiting till Sunday morning to make it, when I got
up and it was *raining* - I didn't make it...
Next event...

hugs to everyone who made it-- and to those who couldn't....
and hugs to the fireworks viewers-- Atlant and I looked for
you-- but... well, we were not as lucky as Ron.. and you were
right cj-- they were amazing! I think we need to do this again..

| Jan,
Glad you got to see the show!
I'm home most of this upcoming weekend if anyone has a
hankering for bbq. Believe me, we've got the fixings! ;->
Well, except potato salad and chips! :-)

| cj,
I was torn between family commitments and having
some laughs at your party on Monday. Glad that the weather
was great for you. I knew that if you grill they will come.
So Barb, were there anymore points added to the scoreboard?
see ya around,
Harry

| 66.81 | | DECXPS::JACQUES_CA | Crazy ways are evident | Wed May 28 1997 09:10 | 11 |
| Were there any points????
I had the only one. ;->
We did miss you, and others, but you know you're in trouble
when you plan an outdoor event in New England.
I thought things went well, thanks to all the great cooks,
and we'll have another soon!

| 66.82 | Thanks CJ! | CANON::BARROWS | | Wed May 28 1997 13:19 | 10 |
| Thanks CJ!
It was a great afternoon and I agree, the cooks did a fabulous job! It
was great to see everyone again and to meet a couple of new people!
Did you ever find out what happened to the chips or the potato salad???
Next year.. maybe I'll make the fireworks too!

| One memory of the BBQ came back to me today.
Angeline, looking for the "party" all day. She only sees
"party" as meaning "birthday" with cake and presents, etc...
Well, we ALL missed the cake! :-)

| 66.84 | | PCBUOA::DEWITT | chasing rainbows... | Thu May 29 1997 11:48 | 3 |

| 66.85 | | DANGER::ASKETH | Beware of Greeks bearing gifts... | Thu May 29 1997 14:16 | 11 |
| Nah....Joyce's cake without Joyce just isn't the same!
Oh yeah, CJ, I got one! Weee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, wee, etc.
Alias - Angeline on her swing. ;-) Must have been pushing her for a good 10
minutes and *every* single time she said "weeeee". ;-)
Quite the cutie!!
