I hope they get here in time, they were only shipped today. If not, I still promise to bring 2 desserts.

 

cakes safely arrived...now, we just have to resist eating them.

 

i unfortunately will not be able to make this party. have to be at a party at my house for my brother's bday.

I wish all the luck to Melanie and her fiancee. It was nice meeting you, and have fun in the swiss alps!!! hit up some of those twisties for me.

 

still coming to this, lenore will not though.

 

how are you going to get to and from? do you need a ride?

 

Thanks for the offer Katie, but my insurance pays a good chunk of a loaner car.. so I have an AWFUL ford taurus!!

At least its black, though.

 

Gonna do Counterfeit MINI stuff to it?

 

If she doesn't, we can

 

Hm, I thought I RSVP'd but maybe I just thought I did and didn't. (Confused? I am!)

I'm going to try to stop by for a short while tonight, but if I do it won't be until later in the evening (my mom's office rented out an entire IMAX theater for a private showing, so I've already committed to that though the movie shouldn't be too long). If I don't get a chance to come by, good luck Melanie, we'll miss you! There's probably some good twisties in those Alps!

 

Poop, overslept a nap.... I'm on my way!!


-Paul!

 

That was fun - I had a great time, and I believe everyone else in attendance did too. We even had an amazing surprise guest - a once long-lost tall Aussie! (no, not me... heh)

I hope that Melanie and Alex had a wonderful time too - I think they did. They are definitely the happy couple - it was great to see them together.

 

Thank you to everyone whom came out to party. We had a great time and thanks for all that food. Melanie was also very happy you all came out.

 

Melanie and Alex are here at the Four Seasons having Brunch now. I don't think I have ever seen her so excited and so happy. Ahhh love......I remember what that felt like before a dozen years of marriage killed it off!

Just kidding!

Waiting to see Sally's photos! Had fun last night. Thanks Stacey and Jay for hosting us. Yummy crab dip and REALLY good desserts!

 

Thanks to Jay and Stacey. I hope folks left at a reasonable hour so poor Stace could go to bed. The food was yummy, and I'm glad we have our resident Oz denizen back in the fold.
I'm glad everyone enjoyed the desserts...here's the link to the company I got them from. Word of caution...all their food is as killer as the desserts!
www.normthompson.com. Enjoy, but don't blame me for inordinate weight gain if you purchase anything there.
Best of luck to Mel and Alex. We'll miss ya, Irish

 

Yes, it was a good party. I am really gald we could see Melanie and Alexander off with some good times! They didn't leave till almost 1am! A great sign of a good party! Also glad everyone could make it out to Germantown, we will have do that again sometime, I had a lot of fun, ate too much, and am enjoying the left overs Made sure Melanie and Alexander had a bit to munch on till they leave tomorrow, so they don't go hungry!
Thanks again everyone for helping out in the food department, YUMMIE!!!

 

Awesome party!! And great food!!

Melanie, I'm *really* gonna miss you! Have fun, good luck, and I fully expect to visit in the hopefully not-too-distant future!!


-Paul!

 

Good people, good food and drink = Good time

 

Thank you very very much to everyone that made this going away party a great send off. I am happy that everyone got to meet Alexander. I will miss the fun and friendships I have made throughout the club and will not forget the great times that I have experienced. I will always be keeping an eye on the forums here so I can enjoy from a distance. It has been a tough couple days and I have cried quite a lot and I will miss you guys and yet at the same time I am very excited about my huge journey. My MINI was just picked up and is on its way to Switzerland, it will take 6-7 weeks to arrive.

Melanie Shalley and soon to be Melanie Tschannen

I also have pictures from yesterday and the Brunch as well, which was VERY yummy BTW.

Thanks Stacey and Jay for the great party!

Melanie, you know I miss you... Ill talk to you soon. Love ya girl!

 

Nice to know I have people that are glad to see me awwwwww I am all warm and fuzzy now.

Mind you seeing the 2 girls kissing at a party was definately worth my while to come and see !!! It was a shame that it was just for the camera, mind you I think I will order an 8 x 10 blow up of the shot....

Thanks to Stacey and Jay for putting up with us all..... hope you found a home for that found mobile phone....

My MCS enjoyed it self too and was nice and cosy between Pauls's and edge's.

I really do like that Interior light kit Paul, maybe I will have to go down to radio shack and get me some of those $2.25 LED's and some wire. Hmmm will have to see where you wired them up to.

 

Well, Melanie and Alexander and the cats are on the plane to Switzerland. I really hope the kitties do ok on the plane! Remember Melanie, write us when you are there! Miss you already

 

poor kitties..hope she gave them something to make them sleep...
