Open Invite: Weenie Roast

edited June 2008 in General Discussion
We are planning a weenie roast here, in conjunction with Travis' 21st birthday, on Friday June 27. I will fire a brush pile around 6 pm, and we will begin roasting after it burns down to coals.

The invite is to a weenie roast, so don't feel obligated to bring a present for Travis. He isn't into that much, so a handshake or a hug, and a "thank you" for his recent overseas military service will suffice. If you feel you must bring a gift, consider that he has just moved to his own house, and may be able to use kitchen stuff, towels, sheets, and what not.

If you want to drink beer or other alcoholic beverages, bring some. If you drink, please remember that there will be children present, so behave.

It would be helpful if you could reply to this invitation and let me know if you are coming, and if so, how many in your party, so I can be sure to have enough weenies.

Bring your spouse or significant whatever. Bring your kids, but we ain't gonna watch 'em for ya.

If you want to show up early, that's fine too. If you want to bring fishing gear and fish in the pond, come on. The fish we stocked are still pretty small, but you can catch them and throw them back.

Our home is on State Highway 34 on the south side of Wolfe City. From the south, count five driveways past the new high school. If you get to the sharp turn to the right, you went a bit too far. From the north and east, you will be on Crockett Street, going west. The road will make a sharp turn to the left. As soon as you get past the turn, stop and turn into the driveway. The house is brown brick with a brown steel roof. There is a small out building across the driveway. There is a huge old falling-down barn across the highway from us.

Please bring folding chairs. If you want to bring food, drinks or condiments, please coordinate with Dawnie. We could also stand to borrow a folding table or two.

Thanks.

    Very nice of you to offer but I'm about 700 miles away.

    Edit: with Albert lurking do you think it is wise to post your phone #'s he seems to be the type who would call at 3:00am just to be an a**hole.

    I doubt old Albert would have the guts to even dial Nunn's phone.

    Wish I could make it but I got a pulmanary function test the evening before and would not be able to drive the 1000 or so miles intime to make it.

    Tell Travis to have a great day and thanks for all he has done for all of us!

    1750 miles away, so I don't think I'll make it.

    But thanks for the invite.

    I can't make it, for as you see, the Atlantic Ocean gets in my way.

    Give young PVT Nunn a hearty handshake on my behalf, and please say thanks for his service.

    Sounds like a good time. Wish I could make it, but from northern Maine is a bit too far. Shake his hand and say thanks for serving for me. I'll fire up a weenie and open a cold bud here to have for him.[}:)][:p]

    Give Travis a big hug and tell him an old man in Indiana thanks him for doing his part in keeping us free.

    I belive the Army has seen fit to promote him three times and he is now Specialist Nunn.

    Y'all enjoy the weenies and I wish him a happy birthday.
