These threads are getting long once again. I've started decorating Redhead's room for a Canada Day party. Her room mate's IV pole resembles a candy cane decorated in red & white streamers. Red & white balloons are hanging from the ceiling so RH can see them when she lies in bed. What's that??? Are there happy faces on some of the balloons? I do believe there are!
Redhead's room-mate has a person stationed in a chair. One of my busykids has placed a big honking Canada Day top-hat on her head. She looks quiet festive now!
I've requested that the staff bring beverages and party food to our Canada Day party but so far no one has been co-operative. I need your help. Please dress in your craziest red & white and join the party.
Redhead, we are here for you! Maybe a few fireworks would perk up the place????

This is a fabulous idea! And... my roommate fought her way to freedom!!! It was incredible to watch. So, the pomms, the busygang, nam's secret karate moves are appreciated but now unnecessary... instead, we all can gather, kick back and relax.
I, for one, would appreciate a tall, cold glass of Sauvignon Blanc...and some baked Brie, wrapped in phyllo (sp) ...anyone else bringing yummy appetizers and bevvies?
Wolfie, I hope you will take charge of the grill, and perhaps later in the evening, a big bonfire...
I expect some great food from Pinga, Carolla, and I know that Namaste attends many potlucks...
Of course, we are set up by a beautiful lake with sa nice sandy beach. And, for our convenience, there is a combo chip wagon/ ice cream stand just off to the side of our fabulous picnic and lounge area - with extra large comfy chairs and outdoor sofas, many tables...and of course, board games!!!

Hi all...here I am .....got my bells on too!
The poms are here also with their Canada Day t-shirts on.
I have made a cake with a Canadian flag on top, and is filled with fresh strawberries and topped with whip cream.
Redhead....did someone say a dj is on the way?

*Let's Pommy's sniff my hand. I smell like cats*
*Admires Pommum's gorgeous cake*
I'm back -- I had to work a shift today, but I'm back. I guess I'll have to fire up the bbq. I'll make a roaring bonfire too. Marshmallows, Caramilk Bars and Graham crackers for 'smores for later.
I'll also start the tunes til the dj gets here.
This one's for you, kid.

A blurr zips by...............................ZOOM!
Looks at the antiquated BBQ fire pit and thinks to himself... I can work with this. Sets about getting the fire started and making sure there is room for everything.
*Pauses a moment and turns to everyone*
Great to see you all. *Smiles in Redheads* direction.
I'm good at hearths and BBQ's. (But Bonfires - are my specialty)
(Now... I know, that you have noticed a change in me. I mentioned all about it in the Cafe Social.) Now I just have to make sure my Feathers dun catch fire on the Barbie... and I hope the cats won't think I'm an over sized canary treat waiting to be plucked!!! LOL
I can't think of a better way to share this time than with friends like you... um... well I could with my sweetie....but ya know what I mean

*Ninj is coughing from all the smoke since the fire she tried to start never amounted to much*
*Barely sees the feathered blur who zips past*
*Cats are busy stalking star-nosed voles*
It's a bit chilly for swimming but those fries are calling me. I like mine with tons of salt and malt vinegar.
Where's the beef?

piles the wood off to the side for the bonfire later on, and makes sure the coals and wood for the bbq are heating nicely waiting for the meat to arrive.
Places a large container of homemade Iced Tea on one of the tables and takes a glass to refresh himself from the heat of the bbq.
*Looks at Ninj... you are not alone. I'm here.*
(I wanted to link a moonkin dance from youtube but can't find a good one)

Pauses from time to time to sip his drink, while keeping a close eye on the meat so that it doesn't burn.
