Drink a second sip of the toast for me.....Would love to have joined everyone.....Freepers are the greatest! And if any of the "chocolate martini girls" are there from the FR cruises...order a double for me!

This is going to be so fun, particularly because the whackjob left is so unhappy.

I was thinknig the same thing. Think any of our DUmmies friends will be on hand protesting?

[doug from upland]

I expect that many of them will be there.

[RepubMommy]

I expect that many of them will be there.

Fine. I'm an RN, I will bring a supply of Prozac for them. What time is this shindig starting anyway?

Got you on the list for my funny items. Funny only in the fact they are homemade and my designs...

See you there.

With all this talk of street closings will it still be possible to take a cab to the Washington Plaza hotel Wed and Thursday nights. I'm afraid the 4 block walk from the Metro will be a little more than I would like to do in high heels.

someone was saying on here the other day that the hotel is willing to let us keep our clothes for the Ball somewhere there. maybe you can leave your heels there.

[RepubMommy]

I've been busy making a few more signs for the American Sector along the parade route; also made the alteration to my dress. Still have to finish hemming daughter's dress and pack up all the parade signs and other allowed equipment and drive them down to DC Chapter HQ downtown tonight.

Thanks for doing this. My husband is usually my traveling navigator and he will be home with my chillens, so it's just my girlfriend and I. We will look for the signs.

WOW

I may have to make that just a pair...we'll see

Kids room not planned yet...but will remember...grandson is taking toys, crayons, etc. too and game boy for him!

He may just be taking treats!

Can't wait to see everyone!

[deadhead]

A pair is great :-) Thanks again. See you at the Ball.

[3D-JOY]

I was thinking of the group as your guests...maybe they are all Freepers!

Do they have screen names? I could look for them individually...

I kind-of make these to look for and meet people...not to take away from the souvenirs that are sold for profit!

[deadhead]

LOL, most are guests. We are having a family reunion in D.C. :-)

One is a freeper, my brother jwalsh07

[ponz7]

Stanz is a lady. Ponz7 is a lady and Henry is my husband.
Can't wait to meet you and many thanks.

[3D-JOY]

Hooray and thank you...will save 2 + 1 for you...

Things are going well..I am just realizing I have to craft something for the kids room!

Well that will be a challenge at this late date and FUN!

I wonder if I will have to resort to decorated cookies again? But then nothing left after the night!
