FINAL LUAU PLANS

OK! HERE are the final plans!
What:
Luau at Baroness of Bargains! (this is a public site, and if you need directions, call me, or email me.)
Where:
See WHAT!
When:
2:00 on July the 8th, 2006

Things that you should bring:

1. Your swim suit and a towel if you plan to use the pool...
2. A bunch of flowers that we can use for making leis. More than one if you can afford to, if not, that's OK too.
3. A finger food with a tropical theme for about ten-twelve I think.
4. A RED flower for our friend the Lady of Cherry Hill! Debbie H. is turning 50! We will include her REDuation in our celebrations this Saturday. Please include our usual notes and quotes as well.
5. Something warm to wear IN CASE it's cold. I have a fire pit in the back, and the weather has been perfect for the last week or so, but rather than having you be cold, I suggest that you be prepared for warm or cold weather.
6. If you have a sarong, bring it! We might practice tying those on as well.....

Plan on HULAing and maybe a little LIMBO! I have a few things planned, but I also plan on having a good visit with you all..... I am providing the BBQ kabobs, and grilled vegis as well as "grown-up" drinks. If you would like to plan on staying the night, that is fine, I also tried to plan the day so that those who are going back home can still get home before dark. Email me and let me know you are coming! Here is the list of people I know are going to be here as I type this letter:

Linda B
Debbie H
The Queen
Myself
Janet
Rose
Nancy
Constance and Friend

Mahalo!

What makes you feel good?

1. What is the one outfit/piece of clothing/accessory you own that makes you feel incredibly good whenever you wear it? Why?

2. What do you do to make yourself feel better when you're in a funk?

3. Has anyone ever surprised you in a way that let you know you were special? How?

4. When you are having a "good day," how do you spread the happiness to others?

5. What is one thing that puts you in a bad mood, no matter how good you were previously feeling?

July LUAU in Reedsport!

Our meeting will be held on July 8th at the home of ME! Baroness of Bargains! We are having a luau and pool party! I will be serving drinks and BBQ, and there will be a fire in the fire pit. Things to BRING with you....

• Some FAKE flowers (the carnations in the picture above are great to make leis with.)
• Your swim suit
• I am providing red hat hair flowers in place of hats, so you don't have to bring that.
• Wear your sarong. If you don't have one, you can get about 2 yards of fabric at walmart for $1.00/yd and we'll practice tying them here. If you don't want to wear one, that's OK too.
• A "hawaiian" treat to share with everyone
• Your PJ's if you plan to spend the night
• A warm sweater for the evening. It can get chilly here.

If you are planning to attend, email me at oceanbookworm@yahoo.com and I will send you directions to the house. There are a couple of hotels within walking distance of our house, and if you would rather not spend the night here, I can give you information for those. We will be making our own leis here at the luau. I am so excited! Get ready for fancy drinks with sugar on the rim, and lots of yummy food! I have a few games in mind, and lots of room in the pool. Talk to you all when you email!

Our last outing, a celebration of graduation for our dear friend, LadyBug. She has begun a new chapter in her life, and has completed a life changes class that will help her through this transition. We were lucky enough to be there as a group to see her finish!


LadyBug and Little Miss Snooty Lady showing the rest of us gals how to finish our fried Ice Cream!


Duchess of Wildfern Celebrated a June Birthday and we managed to surprise her with a new hat and a great song from the wait staff at Los Dos!

We had such a good time. Thanks to everyone that made it, and for those of you who missed it, WE MISSED YOU!

July promises to be fun in the sun! A Luau at my place! More details to come, but mark those calendars for the second saturday of July and plan to BE THERE!

Aloha!
The Baroness of Bargains
