Default Victoria October (already!) get-together

Ladies (and any potential gents, we're not exclusive), lunch today was a delight, though I regret having to rush off to earn my daily non-bread...

I hope we can manage a bit earlier this coming month! All kinds of changes going down with our group, got to keep track!

It was great meeting all of you today ! Really enjoyed myself & the food.

If we stick to a Thursday in October, the 11th or 18th works for me. If another day works best for the rest of you, I'll let you know how that fits in with my schedule - I do have a couple of vacation days left - could try to book one if my schedule doesn't co-operate.

Take care, Julie

Any Thursday in October looks good here with the 11th being my least preferred. We have a 2-day show that weekend and John does like to have 2 days to load the van - it takes some of the pressure off.

Also, if we get a confirmed move in date, all bets are off! In the meantime, it was great to see you all today. Good to meet you in person Janet!

Jude, I'm holding to positive thoughts re your contract negotiations and your p/t cooking!

hugs all, Glenda

Yesterday was lovely! I enjoyed seeing and talking to each one of you.

October's not looking too promising for me--right now I MIGHT be able to make October 25th (last Thursday in the month, since that seems to be THE day we like best). But once again don't plan around me if that's not good for the rest of you since I may be training for a new job by then!

Two more weeks of September--enjoy, everybody! Lots of nice produce around. We whipped up a delicious gazpacho the other night.

Sorry to tell you Anny, 25th is the only day I can't go - I will be in Edmonton at another meeting.

Rats!!! If the 25th works for everyone else, go for it without me.

Hey, we've got enough lead time here we should be able to come up with a day that suits all of us! Would a Saturday or Sunday suit better? I've got a show on the 13th and 14th - other than that, any weekend works and I'm also available Mondays & Fridays as well as Thursdays.

Welcome to the little group Stephanie! Let us know when you can make it.

Nice to see our little group grow again.

Glenda - I can usually do weekends! More time too....

Yay!! The more, the merrier - please do join in! It would be great to have to reserve a big table so we can drown out the Legionaires (or whoever they were) who were louder than us

OK - so the 25th is out for Julie, Tuesdays are out and Wednesdays are difficult (but do-able) for me, Anny says October is busy, and we haven't heard any preferences from anyone else. If we all chime in with a time that's good for us individually, we might find a date that suits all of us?? Is this still too early to know October schedules? I've been out of the work-force (well, the PAID work-force) for so long that I really don't remember how it works.

Any weekend lunch is good for me as long as I don't have too far to travel...what restaurant to you usually go to??

I'm in Oak Bay/Fairfield area.

Stephanie, lately we've been going to the Travelers Inn on Douglas at Discovery - they're very obliging about making adjustments and substitutions to the menus. Also, parking is easy on the White Spot/Travelers parking lot. By the way, I'm in the Hillside area - convenient to probably the best Thrifty's seafood department in Victoria!!

OK all -- how are weekends?
