Since beef stew is obviously out of the picture for a while.
With homemade corn muffins?
A nice cup of herbal tea?
Pull up a chair! Dig in!
(Dang, I make good homemade soups!) ________________________________________________
NEW INFORMATION
Get-together afternoon Sunday Jan. 11? (Unless Saturday the 10th is better?)I'll make some soup, interested Jatraquero's bring board games, etc., and themselves for rainy weather, or we can hit one of the nice hiking paths in good weather? What do you think?

Are you kidding? Now that Japan has refused American beef, prices will plummet. Hope you have room in the freezer!

No, I DO believe you, Shan. It's this weird luck thing of mine. EVERY SINGLE TIME I've had homemade soup, no matter where from, I've gotten the bone.

Here you go, Dan! Sorry about the wait. I was straining the soup for any stray bones, in case mack wanted some. Posts: 5609 | Registered: Jan 2003

Shan, where? when? I'm in! I'm not sure when I'm going back to Oregon, or when I'm coming back, but I should be back by the 10th (of Janurary) and I'll be leaving the 16th (for school) any good time between those two dates for a gettogether? Satyagraha

Hmmm. Let's see - I teach three hours of Saturday school on the 10th and then I'm free for the rest of the day. Sunday is clear. Week-days = evenings. I take it you'd like some homemade soup?
Anyone else?
Shall we have a spur of the moment Washington State get-together?

I'm going to have to figure out how to convince my mother to allow me to borrow her car, but I think this'll work Satyagraha

*Psst* Hey Shan, the beginning post now says it's on Sat. Jan. 11th...but the 11th is a Sunday...I assume you still want to hold this gig on Sunday...

I think Jon cleared Sunday. I'm okay with either day.
Jon?
*Considers the merits of cornbread with soup versus buttermilk biscuits, apple pie versus apple crisp and tries to remember where the extension for the table went*

Either days is fine, just let me know far enough in advance so I can make plans for the other day...
Shan, I thought you had three hours of Saturday school teaching which made Saturday more difficult for you...?

How far is Olympia from Portland Shan? 3 hours or so?
I'm not sure about either day. That's just a crazy weekend, but if you guys decide on a day, I'll see what I can do about getting there. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000

Cecily, It took me about 3 hours to get to Toni's house from Seattle, and that was with getting held up by a derailed train near Kelso. It should take about 2 hours from Portland to get to Lacey (which I think is where Shan lives) unless it is disastrously complicated to get to Shan's house. Hope you can make it!

I'm super easy to find, Cecily. Literally 4 turns off of I-5 near St. Martin's College.
And yes, Jon - I teach a third grade class Saturday morning but there's also church Sunday a.m. so either afternoon is okay. Let's do Saturday since that's the day Bernard got the car for?

Narnia~ a typical drive from Portland to Olympia is 112 miles so going at 70 miles per hour it's rougly 90 minutes...of course because the road is usually clear, my father usually makes it down to about *ahem*anhour*ahem* for me it takes about 75 minutes. Satyagraha

Shan, what exit are you off of? I don't think we can do it, but knowing exactly how far it is would be helpful for me. Posts: 5948 | Registered: Jun 2001

I have to take the world's worst teacher training/graduate entrance exam on Saturday. It's going to last until noon (from 7:30 am!!) so I probably won't be able to make it.
We'll get together soon Shan, I miss you and Bernard (and I'd love to see Jon and Jennifer too.) Have tons of fun though and take pictures.

I shouldn't be the one asking this, but would you be able to come if we possibly rescheduled for Sunday? :: would have to make sure everyone else can make it :: Satyagraha

Probably not. I have a bunch of church responsibilities in the afternoon on Sunday that I couldn't ditch. Don't worry though, I'll just have to haul my butt up there this spring or even sooner. Posts: 6415 | Registered: Jul 2000
