unfortunately, I am unavailable the 22nd to make it to Paso :( Dh is out of town and I have family obligations with the kids. I possibly could make dinner, but driving to Paso would be difficult. Whatever you decide, I will be fine with.

Laurenzo... could you make it if we met in SLO or if Easytraveler drove to Grover and then we came together down to Chef Rick's or the Far Western? Or would you rather not?

yes, that would work. I am just busy during the day and will find a sitter for the evening. Let me know!

Whatever we can work out is fine by me.

moneygirl: did you still want to go winetasting before meeting laurenzo?

I take it you're in Paso and laurenzo is in SLO? I can pick you up and we can drive down as you have suggested.

At last we have a plan! :)

ttt

so, friends, Romans, and countrymen - what is your decision? :)

emailing you...

easytraveler,

You on tonight? Will it be just the three of us or did you mention that bear900 is coming too?

Hi, moneygirl!

I responded to your email - via email. LOL!

Not too sane tonight. Novocain really makes me have out-of-body experiences. I don't usually take anything stronger than a Tylenol and this stuff is POTENT. So, can we talk tomorrow?

bear900 is being a tease. He says he's "shy". A big, ole hunking hiker and he's SHY!

See you tomorrow!

moneygirl: BTW, i'm taking the car in for service tomorrow, so anytime after 6 am is fine. if you are going to call.

I'll call you after 10:30... early I'm getting the kids off to school and I volunteer in the kindergarten class in the morning.

Be thinking about what kind of food and wine you'd like for dinner on Sat! :)

Bear, we need you...

So Saturday night... Laurenzo... what time can you make dinner? Chef Ricks, Far Western or Hitching Post? Call or e mail...

moneygirl, I will email you. I think I still have your business card or will get your phone # from our mutual friend. TTYL

Taking this to the top in case anyone else can join us!

Saturday night, September 22 6:00 PM, the Hitching Post in Casmalia.

If you need directions the number for the restaurant is 805.937.6151 or you can check www.hitchingpost1.com

I am so excited! Ps...they have a great selection of wines :)
