MOM 2009 has started

[Riverwind (imported)]

Today is Wednesday,

Lawns are in the process of being mowed, houses clean, getting everything ready for a trailer to be put in my front yard later today when the first two arrive.

I hope this will be a running post of the people that attend this years MOM event and share with everybody who could not attend on what is happening.

So. IS EVERYBODY READY?

Come Brothers and Sisters

LET THE FUN BEGIN.

Hi River,

I was born ready! I'll be arriving on Thursday afternoon and am looking forward to seeing you and everyone else. I hope you'll be joining us at the "convent" for dinner on Thursday evening.

Can't wait to enjoy your wonderful pancakes again.

The sister is leaving in about 35 minutes for the airport to meet the Dark Lord, err, Paolo. We'll probably wait in an airport pub for a couple of hours until Jesus arrives, whereupon they will head to the hotel. We'll likely meet up a bit later and see what we can do to terrorize a local eatery.

What does the message below have to do with MOM 2009? Are we getting victimized by spambots?

That certain camping trailer is properly resting on Eunuch Central property. Bobbie and Riverwind are together playing maintenance men repairing last minute problems. Mr. Prince is no humor to meet any company at the moment. He knows he is in Rupert territory and he fears the terror. I hope to get to the Mall of Death tomorrow to buy school clothes for Prince, Tiger and Indy. I want to send the to obedience school this fall.

Yep two of us are at the MOM location. Great seeing Riverwind, Gem and Talula again. Others will be at the hotel tonight. Tomorrow we will meet up with them at the Mall of death (Mall of America). Then head over to the famous Kristoff BBQ. Just wish more could join us.

[Riverwind (imported)]

EricaAnn, I will be going with Bobby and OBB to the mall of death tomorrow then on to the BBQ at the nunnery.

The Party has started.

Hi River,

Since I'll be getting into town very early in the afternoon, Dayna is going to pick me up at the airport and we were thinking about going over to the Mall for awhile to have lunch and to look around.

What time will you guys be there and where would be a convenient place to meet up with all of you?

[Riverwind (imported)]

I will send you my cell phone, we can figure it out when you arrive at the mall.

Hi everyone,

At the risk of sounding stupid, could someone please tell me what MOM is? Everyone speaks of it as if it were something that everyone was born knowing. BYW, I hate TLA's.

Hi Elizabeth,

The Meeting Of Members is a get together that we have every year, usually the first full weekend of August.

The Midwest version is held in the Minneapolis/St. Paul MN area. It's a meeting open to all members of EA. This years meeting will be the third one that I've attend and from my past experience, it is an extremely great time. It's a chance to meet many of members that you know from being on line and it's a really special treat.

I hope you can attend sometime. It's well worth the trip!

It is a great time, we eat, visit, eat, go to the mall, eat, enjoy each others company and eat.

It is not a place to get mods of any kind unless you go to the tattoo parlor on your own. It is simply good people enjoying life together.

River

OK, my turn, what is TLA?

Didn't post an update last night - twas late, and we were all tired

Paolo landed about 1230. We wandered the airport for a while, checked a few restrooms looking for Larry C (didn't find him), then had lunch at Houlihan's. Jesus showed up a bit after 2:00. Rental car got picked up, and we all met up again at the hotel. After much chatting, the three of us were joined at Famous Dave's by Danya. Much good coversation, 2 bottles of wine, and lots of ribs, chicken, brisket, and other things on the platter, and we were stuffed. More chatting, sharing of photos, etc., back at the hotel, and by 1000 PM it was a wrap. We're gonna go exploring in uptown area of Minneapolis today. Several of the others are planning a trip to the Mega Mall of Death (walk the whole mall, and you've done about 5 miles). Then dinner at the convent this evening. Grilled steaks, shrimp, and fixins. Damned squirrels won't be bothering us this year.... More later.

What did you do to my little squirrely buddies? The horror, the horror. Prepare for the wrath of Foamy! --FLO--

[devi (imported)]

Save the squirrel skins for me. I think it's supposed to be a really cold winter this time around.

Had a great night seeing old friends again. Great food at Kristoff's. Late now so more tomorrow. Breakfast at Riverwind's.

[Riverwind (imported)]

Yes the Mall of Death, were we (Bobbie, OBB and I) wondered around the waist lands, er, mall finally eating at a fast food, then we hooked up with EricaAnn and Danya more visiting, off to see fish, finally ending up at Kristoff's for some good food and more visiting. Home a little after midnight.

This morning I have set out everything I need to feed who ever walks through my door, Biscuits and Gravy River Stile.

Breakfast starts at 9am.

More later.

Ready for breakfast and yes it has already rained once on our day. I was so hoping for a rain free event. It sure was a treat to see Paolo and Kristoff. I am certain the two of them will have special treats and laughs at the Hog trough tonight.

[lilac (imported)]

Hey Folks! I'm glad everything is going smoothly. I truely wish I was there. Just wasn't in my cards this year. I was greatful to have River and IE visit here in MO earlier this year.

Big, Big Hugs to everyone, I love you all!

Love and hugs, Lilac

All of us piggies are now in our rooms, getting ready for a deep sleep after the meal we just had. We all had a wonderful time, eating, laughing, visiting, disturbing the other tables around us, eating, dodging darts cast from The good Sister, eating, sword play, eating and oh yes, eating.

I am stuffed.

Cant wait tell tomorrow, more food and fellowship, what could be finer, meeting old friends for the first time.
