I know DoughtyOne has a ton of stuff to put up regarding our trip but the natives are restless and all of us want to share our incredible experiences and pictures! There are so many FReepers to thank for making the day such a success. We probably had 50 to 60 FReepers and friends at our peak. I'd like to start off with thanking Hi Heels for putting together breakfast at Marie Callenders and especially the beautiful graveside memorial for President Reagan. Hi Heels had a P.A. system that she brought in; a beautiful printed program; and an incredible service. Bob J. welcomed everyone, Diotima read a poem, Doug from Upland had a tribute to President Reagan that he shared; Admiral pbear8 sang a solo; Captain pbear8 played the bagpipes. Hi Heels had a very appropriate service and benediction that was appreciated by all FReepers and the general public that was gathered around. Admiral pbear8 was kind enough to make special patriotic ribbons for all of us to wear - which made it very easy to find people when it was time to round everyone up!
We all caravaned over to my ranchero for a fine BBQ and party. Viet-Boat-Rider immediately stepped up to the plate and starting cooking up massive amounts of vittles; Doddlelady set up her easel and starting sketching freepers, Hangfire and PeoplesRepublic_of_LA started jamming on guitars and singing, and the FReepers kept arriving!
We had live music entertainment by the CaterWailers (bluegrass, sea shanties, folk); and of course, non-stop talking, laughing and teasing.
It was an honor to have Jim Robinson and family as a guest in my home and it was a beautiful thing to have all you FReepers here. Thanks Jim Robinson for making the day possible!
Heretofore, I thought you were kidding about W ketchup.
Wish I were :'-(
It seemed like such a good idea at the time.
OH MY GOSH! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You're not kidding? You have a CASE?
hahahahhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Correction:
Captain PBear8 and I had the same piano teacher in
Glendale, CA. She went on for years and years.
Thanks again, Rabid Dog, and your family for your outstanding hospitality in your lovely home. You have a tremendous place, it could be Divine Intervention
you are there today. We are happy for you all. Thanks also to all the Venntura Freepers. Such great comraderie with everyone in Jim Robs family!

Actually, I used one to promote Free Republic about an hour ago.
There was a voter registration table in front of Vons,
manned by a cheerful Bush/Cheney supporter.
When I got home, the Ketchup had just arrived UPS,
so I drove back and gave him one, along with info about
Free Republic.
Our daughter flat REFUSED to take some to the ball game at Petco Park tonight.
Sheesh.... me and Rodney Dangerfield.
Yup...16 bottles to be exact.
Freepmail me your address and I'll send you one!!!
Pleeeeeeeeeeeze!!!!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAA
Oh man. THIS is funny!!!
Don't laugh...I'm serious!
I AM laughing!!! (Yes, it's true...I am entertained easily)
BTW! How much did you pay? I sent you my address, but got to thinking....this would make great Christmas gifts!!!
So? FRmail me the cost...I might take some off of your hands.

THAT is no clever and nice of you.
A GOP registration table?
I am "almost" afraid to ask...
what use are you planning for the W ketchup?
Yeah...what a shocker.
Usually they're RAT tables.
Last week the kid was gone for a minute so I flipped his
flippin sign over.
Oooooo...how radical!
Christmas gifts!
I have this liberal brother...........................
Thanks - that is so sweet of you!
Yes, that's wonderful news it's a GOP table.
BG: thanks for a dignified answer.
Huh?
I've been wondering about your loom...where did you get it?
Don't "huh?" me young lady.
I asked you a loaded question
and you managed to duck perfectly.
