| Hey folks, It's time to start planning Part Deux of the Texas Two-Step event - the Backyard Blowout BBQ at LilacWine's house in Fredericksburg, Texas. We've decided that August is the month. It's going to be hot, so probably better for planning it later in the day on a Saturday and late in the month. Or - have it in September. It will still be warm (very) and may be easier to schedule. Indicate your preference for date below: | | |

| I voted for Sept to give us a shot at decent weather. It may only be 90 by then.
After a beautiful spring here, summer has sprung with a vengeance. The last week has been upper 90s and dry. It's like Phoenix or something. Weird for a semi-tropical place... | | | |

| Mrs WIML goes into vacation shut down from August 15th on so it will be difficult for us at best. We can probably drive down Saturday and back up on Sunday; no three day weekend. Here are Mrs WIML's comments:
8/30 AND 9/6 ARE PROBABLY REALLY BAD
9/13 COULD BE BAD
8/16 AND 8/23 COULD BE A WEEK END
Therefore I voted for 8/16. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

THANKS WINEISMYLIFE FOR THE PERSONAL INVITE! | | | |

| Dammit we are gonna try to make this.  I won't vote on a date 'cause my schedule is so up in the air at this point i may not be able to make even what I vote for.  I do plan on headin' to Santa Fe at the end of September for the Wine & Chile Fest. So August looks do-able. I'll keep an eye on events as they develop. peace. | | | |

What's really funny is you don't look a day over 8 or 9.  | | | |

| Is August 16 the date for sure? My wife likes to plan things months in advance. We will be there and maybe bring some friends if that's okay.  | | | |

| Lilac - are we good to go on Aug 16th? We can celebrate your birthday in style. In fact it can be known as "Lilac's Big Fun Birthday Fest" or something like that. Clearly I'm not all that creative... | | | |

| I'd say we're on for August 16th but will let Lilac have the final say. | | | Joe-----Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. | |

| Yesireebob! 16 August is THE DAY for the Big Beautiful Birthday Bash & Bubbly Fest!
Let's do it! Bring as many friends, in-laws, out-laws as you feel are needed to make this a good time!
As the day approaches, I'll provide more details. | | | |
