July

Ok, I think I was supposed to start the new blog, but that was talked about after a bottle of wine and a few daiquiri's.

Thank you Lynn E for a very nice time. It was good to catch up with you all. How's Twilight coming along?

Thanks Deb for the website for online courses. They don't have Latin but they do have Mandarin Chinese which is a full year and she says she wants to do it. I guess we will see how it goes.

Nancy, I remember left when I'm facing motor vehcile, go straight to the end and then I forget the rest to the yacht club.

I'll see you all again on the 27th.

I'm glad we were able to pull everything together so quickly without months of planning and rearranging schedules. That was amazing. It so nice to see the kids together and all having fun and enjoying each other. I'll look forward to the next time we could share a bucket of daquires!

Nancy, Thanks so much for spending the day in the water helping Juli and Carolyn. You have the patience of a saint.

Frugal alert:
Staples has packages of pencils, little bottles of Purell and folders with pockets for 1 cent each. Bring a friend... you can get two bottles of purell and two packages of pencils and 10 folders each. This was my lunchtime shopping and the highlight of my day so far.

Debbie said...

Thanks for the shopping alert. I had a very good time the other night. I especially loved the bucket. Nothing better than a slushie with a kick!

Dan, check with your school about online. Not all schools are participating and there are fees now. Good luck.

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!!

Dan:

Left if facing old motor vehicle (now called Advanced Dermcare). Go to the end and take a left and it is your first right.

Lynn:

The boat is still not fixed. I don't have an ETA as they don't know what is wrong with it. Do you want to just come up with your boat? We are close enough to the lake that some of us could hang at the house while others are on the boat. We can make the call when we get closer.

Lynn said...

Nancy,

I think it's probably best if we reschedule when both boats are running.Ours is so small that there will be too much downtime for everyone else. Also, maybe we could catch up with the Michener's if we wait until August. Dan... what are your free weekends in Aug?

Also... Deb called to tell me that she can't do the 27th for her birthday celebration. Would everyone be able to do the 20th instead since we have that day already blocked off? Dan - couldn't remember if you were working or not.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. We did!

Debbie said...

I can keep the 27th if Dan can't make the 20th. I really want everyone together.

Family party got moved to the 27th and we have to show. It's a once a year thing.

What day in August works for boating...the 24th?

Nancy said...

The marina received the parts and are supposed to fix the boat today or tomorrow so I will keep you posted.

All dates of 7/20 (boat or girly night out), 7/27 (original girly night out) and 8/24 work for me.

dan said...

These are the days I am NOT working in July & August

7/25, 7/25, 7/26, 7/26,
8/1, 8/9, 8/10, 8/16, 8/17, 8/22, 8/29, 8/30, 8/31

Sorry.

Nancy said...

The following dates work for me for night out or boating: 7/26, 8/1, 8/9, 8/10, 8/17, 8/22, 8/29.

Still no word on the boat. Hopefully, I will know more tomorrow.

Debbie said...

August 9th boat for everyone??? Lynn, does that work? It appears to be good for everyone else. 8/10 I have a shower (yuck).

Keep our night out as the 27th. I will either miss the gathering or come home early. Otherwise 8/1 would work for girls out.

Let me know if this works for all.

Lynn said...

I am OK with 8/9 for boat day and either 7/27 or 8/1 for girls night out.

Debbie said...

OK Ladies...

After much calendar crunching and planning, I think I have figured out what will make everyone HAPPY!!

Girls Night (and a belated bday) will be August 1st, a Friday night!!

Boat day will be moved from this Sunday (sorry Nance) to August 9th so everyone can be there, including the watercraft.

Please confirm that this works for you and yours. I will miss you all until the 1st!!

Nancy said...

So, let me get this straight boat outing is 8/9 instead of 8/24. Do we still want to do this Sunday for whoever can make it once I know the boat is fixed? I should know more tomorrow about the boat. And we are changing girls night out from 7/27 to 8/1, right?

Debbie said...

Thats right Nance, sorry for all the changes. We are not going to be able to make it on Sunday. That will give you a little more time for the boat repair. I hope all the dates work.
Can't wait to see you guys.

dan said...

8/1 is ok. I talked to Deb this morning (Wed) and told her I could only make it to dinner, not the movie if we go to one. I had promised Carolyn I'd take her to the Twilight Release Party at Border's at 10pm. The 4th book comes out at midnight and she's already signed up and pre-ordered. We can make it for 8/9 boating and we'll see you all then.

Only 1 more week of baseball and we're done!!!!

How's Juli liking New Moon Lynn?

Lynn said...

All the dates all work for me.

Dan - I know Juli's been reading furiously but I haven't asked her how she is liking it. I am enjoying Twilight - but am not that far into it yet.

dan said...

Nancy what's your new address?

Nancy said...

The boat saga continues: They changed out the coils and the boat is still not working. They have never seen anything like it. They are going to try one more thing.

My address is 1 Shore Drive, New Fairfield, CT 06812-2914.

Lynn said...

Oh Nancy... what a pain. I hope you can get it fixed soon. It must be hard to be that close to the water and have no boat!

Nancy said...

The marina thinks they have fixed the boat but they are supposedly taking it for another test ride today to make sure. We will test it tomorrow and will let you know.

Nancy said...

The boat is still not fixed. The marina tested it one more time and then told us the part they installed was defective. They are ordering a new part. Good grief! I should know more later on this week.

Nancy said...

We used the boat twice and I think it is fixed. Norb is going to find out how much we owe today!

We are still on for Friday, right? Are we doing dinner and a movie or just dinner? Are we meeting @ Lynn's? What time?

Has Julie made any progress waterskiing? Do you want to set up another waterskiing school date?
How about Carolyn? I think she was pretty clear that she wanted to go again. On nice days it gets busy on Candlewood so if the girls come here it would have to be early on a Saturday or Sunday at least by 9am.
