Bruno 28 here from Scotland Oct. 19-21---TE dinner!

**salsabike** · 10-14-2007, 07:26 PM

Hey, this is a bump.

Anyone have a place for Wahine to stay??

And---expect a PM with details, coming right up.

Oh yeah, I meant to say that I talked to Quillfred, who would have come but won't be around next weekend--she would like to be included in another PNW TE ride sometime, though, she said.

**Xrayted** · 10-14-2007, 07:37 PM

Just PM'd you Wahine. Hopefully, we can work this all out to everyone's benefit.

Can't wait to meet y'all.

**Wahine** · 10-15-2007, 08:17 AM

Got it. Thanks X.

**trickytiger** · 10-15-2007, 09:29 AM

Care to add one more to the list? I live pretty close (literally 3 mins from Knotted), I worked as a geologist for years (and thus can help id/nerdify about ROCKS!), I'm a one-generation removed Scot (Go Paisley/Glasgow!) and, um, I like to eat! Plus I'd love to meet y'all! Is it still on for Saturday the 20th?

[QUOTE=salsabike;248283]So after much noodling about with Bruno and a little with Mimi, here’s what we’d like to do: Have our Bruno visit-TE dinner on Saturday October 20 with all of you at our house. Here’s why:

3. We have rocks and minerals all over the house from rock hunting trips we’ve done (and a rock shop in the garage—rock saw, sander, polisher, rocks we found but haven’t cut yet).

Soitenly! I thought there was at least one more Seattle area "tiger" lurking somewhere in the undergrowth. Rock nerdifying is SO much fun. Consider yourself about to be PMed.

**Xrayted** · 10-15-2007, 11:21 AM

Just yell... "hey Tiger" and see how many turn around.

Salsa - you may consider inviting the neighbors so there's no one left to call the police when it gets noisy...

**salsabike** · 10-17-2007, 12:31 PM

A big thanks to those of you who PMed offering to bring stuff. I hope it will amuse you to know that I do exactly the same thing: "Are you SURE I can't bring anything? My momma brought me up to bring stuff..." We're the total potluck generations, which in general I love. So if you would like to bring something extra, you're certainly welcome to do so--just know that we will be providing plenty of food. We just wanted to make it easy for folks to come, and didn't want people from out of town worrying about whipping up some scones in their hotel room, or whatever.

Um...expect to see some boxes and piles of stuff sprinkled about, since we are not 100% moved in (maybe by NEXT year...). And a couple of seriously cat-scratched chairs, and the like.

**teigyr** · 10-17-2007, 12:37 PM

Heh, I always feel like I should bring something. It just doesn't seem right NOT doing that!

And our furniture....and the kitty condo in our living room, is all scratched up. That and there are the surprise piles of kitty vomit. I woke up to that this morning.

I look forward to seeing everyone

See ya then,
Mary

I can't gaurantee good scones, but I sure know how to whip them up (might be embarrassed to have an acutal Scottish person taste them though.......)

**Bruno28** · 10-18-2007, 09:03 AM

I can hardly wait to taste the scones!

I'm bringing shortbread. And a Jimmy Shand cd.

**Eden** · 10-18-2007, 12:45 PM

oh boy - now I'm committed or should that be need to be committed....

Scones it is - hope everyone likes cranberries

**Bruno28** · 10-18-2007, 01:11 PM

Ah yes, cranberries - that well known Scottish fruit.....

Hey - what the weather likely to be like over the week-end?

Is that where you get the italian attitude and irish temper?

'spose I oughta wear my kilt, too? Wish I still had my boar 'n thistle badge... oh well...

I'll need to mind my ale and whiskey. I tend to go on havering about things no one needs to hear about...

**mimitabby** · 10-18-2007, 01:36 PM

light showers, no windstorms; mild temps.
