SUNDAY AUG23... be there....for Rebecca

kittynh · 12th August 2009, 09:43 AM

I'm not saying we can't have another Rebecca party (can one ever have enough?) but with a super busy September coming up there will be a get together for Rebecca on SUNDAY aug.23 in New Hampshire.

Bring a boat or your swimsuit...bring a gift (hey presents are nice)...

BRING FOOD AND BEER AND SODA

I'm supplying the water and cabin.

Lemme know if you want directions. Rebecca will be there for LUNCH.. she has to get back to Boston early...so come EARLY. You can stay late for the kayaking and swimming and looking for the alligator that has been spotted in the lake.

Oh and we can visit the Marharishi also (he's just down the road).

kittynh · 12th August 2009, 09:44 AM

if you want to come on saturday and bring a tent or whatever that is also fine... the bears have been pretty mellow recently.

kittynh · 12th August 2009, 06:31 PM

so despite the bears you coming?

This isn't a question, I know you want to send a gift.

If I seem to remember you forgot to send me a wedding gift, so just include that gift in with your gift to Rebecca and Sid.

Mattfn · 12th August 2009, 06:34 PM

We're in. We are thinking if we can manage to come early on Saturday and stay over (think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think....)

Hmmmmm.....what kind of creative dessert can I make Rebecca? (It will only be my second wedding cake....the first was 3 tier traditional-looking, but coloured green inside! The bride was happy!)

Scrut, we didn't get a wedding gift from you either, so you'd better get a pretty big box to send all those things. We can get it at the party too, along with Kitty.

mumchup · 12th August 2009, 07:40 PM

Sunday, August 23rd. Got it, I'm in.

kittynh · 13th August 2009, 10:40 AM

Ha but can you SWIM faster!

(wait do bears swim?)

I think bears can swim, and I don't think I could out swim one. Enough about bears though; what can I bring? I could bring the chicken pieces I brought last time.

Hamradioguy · 13th August 2009, 07:39 PM

I should be able to make this. And living in bear country I don't worry about bears except when the come out of hibernation in the spring- then they are lean, mean, and hungry. Now they are well fed and mellow.

kittynh · 14th August 2009, 08:52 AM

so well fed and mellow... means they are slower!

Scott, chicken is fine. I'm going to make veggie chili for Rebecca (she's a vegetatarian!)

Put extra ground beef in Rebecca's chili.

kittynh · 14th August 2009, 03:54 PM

who else didn't get a wedding gift from Scrut?

Fitter · 14th August 2009, 04:03 PM

Me. I'm assuming the fact I've never been married isn't really a factor.

mumchup · 14th August 2009, 06:30 PM

Well now that you mention it... I never got a broke-up-with-my-boyfriend gift from Scrut. A bottle of good quality tequila should do fine.
And he should get a nice rib steak for Rebecca. It will pair well with the tequi... I mean... She would really appreciate the thought.

Hamradioguy · 14th August 2009, 08:27 PM

I'll bring the steak for Rebbecca. When she refuses my gift I'll take it back and grill it for myself.

Now, are there any non-drinkers for whom I can bring alcohol?

Wowbagger · 14th August 2009, 10:36 PM

I wish I had a bit more notice. I will try to arrange to be there. But, there is no guarantee at this point.

Why Sunday?! It's a long trip, and I will probably have to work on that Monday. Can we start the festivities on Saturday afternoon, at least?!

Ron_Tomkins · 15th August 2009, 08:48 AM

Sooo uuummmm..... where exactly is this? What's the address? At what time does the thing start? Why hasn't this piece of information been provided all throughout the thread?

How will they ever be able to go on?

Tressa · 16th August 2009, 04:51 PM

I'm hoping to make it. PMing you for address Kitty.

kittynh · 16th August 2009, 06:14 PM

oh sorry Wowbagger...

Rebecca has to leave EARLY... so it's an early party.

Wowbagger · 18th August 2009, 09:51 PM

Well, unfortunately, it looks like I will not be attending this gathering.

First of all: It seems like an awfully long schlep, for such a short party... even if some of the fun might begin on Saturday.

I was still hemming and hawing about it this evening, when another priority came down the pipeline, involving family. So, that kinda clinched the decision.

There is always a slim chance that I might lose my sanity just long enough to try to head down there, anyway; and by the time I get it back, it will be too late to turn around, so I might as well go the rest of the way...

...But don't count on that!

Perhaps I can make it up to you all, somehow. I am wondering what sorts of goodies can have shipped down there. (I could look into getting some Tim-Tams from NYC, but I can't promise anything, because their presence can be elusive in that city.)

kittynh · 19th August 2009, 05:24 AM

wowbagger that's so nice of you to even think of making such a long trek!

Really, it's a one room cabin, and Rebecca is really busy so we're lucky to get her for a day!

Still, I say a REbecca wedding celebration needs more than just ONE party.. .thinking a Bostonian might want to throw one also!

supercorgi · 20th August 2009, 02:53 PM

Unfortunately I've got prior family obligations for that day so I won't make it.

kittynh · 20th August 2009, 04:41 PM

ohNO! We wanted supercorgi... Dingo needs a friend!

supercorgi · 20th August 2009, 10:31 PM

He'd love to see Dingo (and go eat your neighbor's dog food!) Give Rebecca my best wishes. I'll have to get to Skeptics in the Pub someday in Boston - it's hard because I usually work to 7:30 slaving for a software company. (Just glad they haven't shipped my job off to India yet).

mumchup · 21st August 2009, 08:46 AM

My daughter and I are going to have to cancel

I took the bike to work yesterday morning and took a detour to the pavement. (ouch)
Only minor injuries, but I'm in enough pain to be laid up for the next few days.

Congrats to Rebecca!!!!!

SkepticScott · 21st August 2009, 09:45 AM

Drat, supercorgi and mumchup.

It sounds like we're going to need a Rebecca party part II to accomodate everyone.

kittynh · 21st August 2009, 11:05 AM

oh mumchup feel BETTER! You and your daughter are welcome for wool weekend in October! Feel better!!!

Geek Goddess · 21st August 2009, 12:04 PM

I hear Rebecca really wants a deep-fat fryer.

Beady · 21st August 2009, 01:13 PM

Then why did she get a husband instead?

That would be great, but I'd need a few weeks notice to make sure I'm available. Maybe at Scotts or, um is it Mumchups house that is also close. Maybe someday I can host a party (not a big house but probably adequate) however it's a mess, I've been working so much that it's filled with papers and dog hair.

Wool weekend? What do you do? Torture sheep? Or just spin and weave. I have a drop spindle which I've never tried to use. Anyone who can teach me to use it?

kittynh · 27th August 2009, 07:59 PM

there ya go! wool weekend!

We go visit all the sheep farms (and alpacca) and buy wool. No need to know how to knit, last year Kochanski learned!! now she's knitting mobius scarves!

we just hang at the cabin, talk, knit and really visiting the farms (they have open house that weekend) is lovely. good chance to get away.

mumchup · 27th August 2009, 08:01 PM

If I recall, Wool Weekend includes buying wool from a big place somewhere(?) and knitting 'n' stuff. And, of course, hanging out with awesome people like KittyNH, Mattfn & Kochanski.

I'm not near the Boston area. But if you ever want to see an Indian Casino or a 19th century whaling city, come on down and visit me in southeastern CT.

I'm going to try my best to make it up to Boston on Monday for skeptics in the pub too.

I would guess you buy finished (spun wool)? I don't know how to knit or crochet (although mom always tried to teach me - just not coordinated enough). Occasionally my medieval club does a "sheep to shawl" weekend, where they shear the sheep, card the wool, spin it, and then turn it into a shawl - pretty impressive.

Oh I want to come, sounds fun. But this next week is hell week at work. I work for a software company and I'm working on a new product. I'm a technical writer and everything has to be checked in by the end of the week. And as things don't work, they expect us to document our way around everything. It's crazy but I might still try to do it.

Oh crap, I've looked at the map and there's no way I can get there unless I leave work at 4:30 or 5:00 (need to get to Aelwife and go in on the Red line). Is there any parking near the place where they are? It would be faster to drive in from Southborough but parking is a problem.

He'd love to see Dingo (and go eat your neighbor's dog food!) Give Rebecca my best wishes. I'll have to get to Skeptics in the Pub someday in Boston - it's hard because I usually work to 7:30 slaving for a software company. (Just glad they haven't shipped my job off to India yet).

Really, it's a one room cabin, and Rebecca is really busy so we're lucky to get her for a day! Still, I say a REbecca wedding celebration needs more than just ONE party.. .thinking a Bostonian might want to throw one also! That would be great, but I'd need a few weeks notice to make sure I'm available. Maybe at Scotts or, um is it Mumchups house that is also close. Maybe someday I can host a party (not a big house but probably adequate) however it's a mess, I've been working so much that it's filled with papers and dog hair.

You and your daughter are welcome for wool weekend in October! Feel better!!! Wool weekend? What do you do? Torture sheep? Or just spin and weave. I have a drop spindle which I've never tried to use. Anyone who can teach me to use it?
