Fall SoWal Soiree Date

Yep, you should meet him and the fam, pretty grayt peeps!

I bet that was Moondance

Even though it was a more understated soiree, I loved it. I met a lot of lovely people that I had wanted to me. Hugs to all of you that I did meet! My ability to record everyone I met on here is not so hot, so I' m not even gonna try. And there were a number of people there that I didn't get a chance to meet that I wanted to. Hugs to you too!

Yay! I am the first to post after actually being there.
Met many incredible people. Shark cruising the beach for an hour. Grayt fire!
Shelly was a no-show. Grrr...so was Smiling Joe, both of whom I was looking forward to meeting.
I wish my brain could remember all who I met. I'll try:

Miss Kitty, Sunspotbaby, Riverotter, Aleonard, Hop, Uncle Timmy, Bobby J, DD, Franny, IBD, Kitlit, Romeosmydog. I am sure I missed a few and I apologize. My brain just doesn't save those particular cells.
Saw BB, but she must have been busy early and then I never saw her again. Wanted to thank her for putting this all together.

Weather was very cooperative. Not as windy, surf was calm and the fish and crabs were everywhere. We located right near the waterline this year and it worked out wonderful.

May the next one be even better than this one. Party on!!!

It was great to finally meet you Ash. Sorry Mr. IBD did not make it. He HAD to stay home and watch his team get chomped by the Gators.

Grayt time. I sooooooo enjoyed meeting everyone.

Glad to FINALLY meet you in person. I now don't have to picture you with a viking hat on...

us folks sitting at home want pictures!

I have none, sorry gull

Great meeting and seeing all of you! SoWal is a beautiful place to be ...
Thanks to all of you for making it even better! Love ya'll....

SSB good to see you again, hope you had funn w/o child to take care of.

Thanks to organicmama for easing my official entry into sowal society, and for being connected enough to wrangle us a parking space. What a nice way to spend a beautiful fall evening at the beach. I'm just sorry we arrived too late to catch the sharks.

I enjoyed meeting everyone!

Nice to meet you MissCritter.

Sorry we didn't make it last night . The LittleOtters were tired and you know how it is. Hope to see y'all at the next one

whatever, it was nice talking to ya'll.

Aw, I'm so sorry I missed it! I couldn't get out of work for this one!

I missed y'all big time last night. Glad to hear everyone had a funn time!

I wish you had come....but work is work, I understand.

It's Extreme Turdle....with a "D" Afunn....get it right...

I thought it was Turtle also... It was nice to visit with the ET...

We missed you DKA !!!!!

I missed DKA also. He was not even there in his blow up doll self.

It was fun. Sorry I could not have stayed longer. Had to go to a NRA banquet that I had forgotten about.

That was the first time I had seen a shark so close to shore on the Gulf side. Of course it has been 20 years since I spent days at the beach, but is that becoming pretty normal?

Did you win your gun?? Good thing we got on the topic so you hopefully made it in time for the drawing..

So who has got the pics?

Glad to know everyone had a Grayt time!!!

Missed you gull. I kept hoping you would just walk up....

And it was great seeing all and meeting more of y'all yesterday evening...sorry I had to stumble off (because of my foot, not any other reason...no other reason at all ) early!

Kudos to whoever brought the pudding shots, and the wings...and special thanks to wrobert, for doing the old boy scout trick to open Fuzz's beer, IBD, for just being you (Fuzz wants a copy of that thing you had), Crazy K for helping me walk (not sure who was helping who), for SGG for driving us up to my uncle's house, where we had parked - which was no easy feat with the CHELCO trucks in the way (no, those noises were not fireworks) - and many others who I can't remember right now, but it will come to me later.

I you guys...

It was good to see you too. Tell fuzz I will try my best to get him a copy of the XXX Palin pic.

And AndyA.

It was nice talking with Andy and his wife (forgot her name, sorry)

Glad y'all managed to have a good time without me.

I wish my favorite fruit was there....

ok, did NO ONE have a camera on them???????

I guess not!

This may have been THE BEST soiree ever!!! Best weather, best water, best bonfire,
best pudding shots, best crowd of SoWallers (although all you absentees were heartily missed)...

Hopefully DD & Sunkist will post some of their pics when they get home. KrazyK was also taking pics with DD's camera... can't imagine how THOSE will turn out... 'cuz KK was in Full KK Mode (not that she was alone on that score)!!!!

FFFFFUUUUUNNNNN night!!!!

(((((( ))))))

It was a greaaaaaaaaaaaat time....I had a ball...

every soiree has been awesome.

ditto that gullfriend.

Oh, I am officially announcing that SPAM samiches is what I am bringing to EVERY soiree from here on out.

Sounds like a great time, and I am sure the Spam sandwiches were as good as the last ones which were very yummy.

those spam sandwiches were not bad at all.

IBD - I want extra mayo next time.por favore.

Sorry I was getting Miss Kitty out of the Tiger(Kitty) Pit the kids dug and had to evaluate the severe case of hammer toe that she developed. So I missed out on the food. I did however dive in front of OGM and keep her kids from eating the jello. I asked Mr. Shallow Noles Fuzzerini what type of car he had thinking I might recognize him driving down E. Pt W road and he answered "Unmarked" My shirt was also very wet from DD and Miss Kitty crying on it from the Texas win (They are both Texas fans who picked Okkeedokie) Sorry. A few people heard my name and scattered in the opposite direction. SWGB sorry I missed out meeting you and anybody else. Bobby I never found you slaps but Mr Yankee builder(you know who you are) asked what size. He may be wearing them now( he was in charge of the fire) To everyone else? Spam Spam Spam Spam Wonderful Spam ( insert Monty Python music here) I forgot about Miss Kitty Corndoging in the sand.:roll: See Ya next time!!!!

I did go easy on the mayo b/c I was not sure if people liked it or not.. Next time I will have plenty on there and also make a double batch.

I have a couple more....let me get permission to post.

Those sandwiches were the bomb!! Soaked up lots of alcohol!!

I don't even like spam and loved IBD's sandwiches! Good thing I didn't know what they were until AFTER I discovered how delicious they were!

Weeelllll.... maybe didn't soak up quite enough alcohol!!! We did end up with Destin GUBA, after all!

If you remember Miss Kitty corndogging then we were there at the same time. ;-)

DD lovely pics and you have my permission to post any of me and DS.

What a gorgeous evening, what gorgeous people. Standing there watching the sunset over an ocean that was calm enough to be a lake I asked Romeosmydog if we were not some of the luckiest people on earth. I just hate we had to leave so soon, man our hour or so on the beach with good friends sure does go by fast. Lets do it again!

Aleornard I am so glad I got to finally meet you....I did not hardly recognize you without the vikiing helmet on your head.

RivO :angry: you really are just a muffin stump now!

I just hate I missed Miss Kitty corndogging, but I heard about it on Sunday. Miss K, please do it again!

RivO :angry: you really are just a muffin stump now!

I know, I know.... I promise I'll try to make the next one

I am a liitle late to the soiree thread. Was supposed to be home yesterday but got stranded in Pensacola.

The soiree was a blast - wish I could of stayed longer! Thanks to BB for organizing. It was great seeing some familiar faces & meeting some new ones. I guess that really was RiverOtter & GB that I met - I wasn't believing Tootsie.

Thank you for posting the pictures DD! Awesome, just awesome.
