sitting on a fence, many things are on his plate for that exact weekend. Gale is great company, as is Joe, anyone else in the area of San Diego or north county interested. Odds are my wife will boycott.

I sure hope you all have as much fun as we did

Our meet and greet is coming up, everyone. Only a week from Saturday. Do you all just want to meet at Bob Thomas' place, or should we all get together someplace beforehand and caravan to his place? Our appointment is noon, so I thought we would take the tour, then all go someplace and have lunch together. Or if you all want to bring a lunch maybe we can find a nice park and picnic together. So far, these are the folks who have said they're going:

Tom - @Tom
Will - @Will
Me
Steven & Irene - @bouaboua
Dean - @DeanS
Kathy & Husband - @kathyth
Joe - @Dizisdalife
Noel - @AZtortMom
?Sandy? - @taza
David - @dmmj
?Gale? - @keepergale

So - Maggie is looking into restaurants in the area. Does anyone know of a nice park where we can all picnic? If you don't want to bring a lunch maybe you can stop and get a bag of fast food. I like the park idea better than the restaurant idea because we can get wild and rowdy. they might kick us out of a restaurant.

I like the picnic idea also. But Irene and I will need to get a sandwich from some where because we need to head out the house around 6:00 AM.

Yeah, I thought we might be able to find a deli or hamburger joint and get take-out.

Me too. I work outside all day every day. I LOVE being inside in the AC when the rare opportunity presents itself.

For those of you who want to plot the address into your devices:

Bob Thomas
313 E. Ormonde Road
Arroyo Grande, CA 93420
(805) 481-5222

Lots of cafes in the area,lets avoid chains.

I'm game to do whatever the majority want.

Whomever picks me up not only will I chip in for gas but lunch is on me. Not literally

Too bad. I would've picked you up just to see that sight.

Yes to Kathyth's POV. My preference is one such that we could mingle most easily, I eat all the time, sometimes three times a day, so meeting you all is a higher priority for me. I always hated dates that looked over a menu like it was their last meal, I mean really, that was enough getting to know here to know it would be both the first and LAST date.

Tom and whoever all is co-driving with you, I'll look into breakfast places at the junction of 126? and 101, maybe 9-ish in the am. AC, okay, got it.

Has anyone made arrangements with David to give him a ride?

I sure hope so. My husband and I will be camping at Pismo.
My fingers are crossed that someone can do this.

@dmmj. Could Access possibly take you to a location that others could conveniently pick you up at ?? Just a thought.

We won't be able to make it.
The new tort enclosure is not even close to being even livable yet.
I don't feel comfortable having the pet sitter lifting 50# torts in and out of and old enclosure

So sorry to hear that. Darn it.

Not that our waitress suggested might have happened if the restaurant had been more crowded. and there were only 5 of us!
