So Cal Freepers:  AFTER BBQ REPORT

Sunday, August 11 the So. Cal freepers (and special out of town visitors) had a BBQ/Pool Party in honor of Jim Robinson. Jim was in the LA area to attend the NFRA convention and present the Reagan Award to this years winner. Bob J and I attended the luncheon at the Reagan Library and Bob presented this year's winner with the award, the Young Americas Foundation. Saundra Duffy was also there with her husband (his FR name escapes me).


Saturday we prepared for the party.


On Sunday, Freepers started arriving here ready for some sun, fun, Gray Davis bashing, and swimming.  A sun-burned DoughtyOne, managed the grill and helped feed around 60 people. I will let the attendees come in and give their reports but I had a great time!  Thanks to everyone who brought food, wine, beer, chips, (we have more food here than when we started!)

If you are lucky, he'll post the close ups of the butt tatoos.

[Rockitz]

I'm sure Nancy will be thrilled that her butt is on the internet. At least I'm hoping you were referring to Nancy.

[Rabid Dog]

Well now that you mentioned my real name all over the internet - everyone will know who's butt it is! Actually, I think D1 was way too gentlemanly to take photos but let me tell you - it was difficult keeping him focused on tending to the barbeque.

Pangs of envy here on the Other Coast...

Here are a few photos from yesterday's Los Angeles Chapter (frn) social gathering.

BobJ and Diotima were gracious enough to host around fifty people yesterday morning and afternoon.  Everyone had a great time.

Sorry but I didn't catch everyone on film.  I don't like to run around with my camera out all the time when people are trying to relax and enjoy themselves.

The first photo is a large composit.  It's 1816x323.  It's about 250k in size.  It's a little sloppy, but it gives a pretty good layout of the back yard.

Click on any of these photos to see a larger 640x480 version.  As I mentioned, photo one is larger.

Don't let her kid you, Rabid Republican made a good BBQ supervisor. Things went a lot smoother with her slapping my flipping hand every so often. As for distractions, that's classified 'eyes only' if you catch my drift. ;-)

For those of you with your settings set at fifty responses per page (this repost)...

ARrGGGHHH! You got me bent over!!! At least I wrapped in the American Flag towell...that would have been very naughty if I was only in my bikini!

[DoughtyOne]

I wondered if that was you. I wasn't sure. SAT

[Brad’s Gramma]

Oh man, if there was EVER a "Caption This" photo....I'd LOVE to know what that precious baby was thinking at that moment!!!

[Outraged]

I knew I should have gone!!!

Hey, sorry I couldn't make it, Sunday was a busy day for me...Next time...:)

[DoughtyOne]

Well DoughtyOne said he'd like to vote for Mc Clintock, but he thinks he has about this much chance.

I wonder what mommy is going to do.  Things used to be so much simpler...

[AnnaZ]

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

[Petronski]

Who's who in the photos?

[Rabid Dog]

I'm the good looking one.
