The OMG Pam-is-Turning-50-nonGathering-Gathering

Playing with Fire! · #1 2014-06-28, 9:49am

OMG!

Yes, Pam Wilcox is turning the big 5-0 on July 17th!
Mark your calendars to be sure to inundate her with scathingly smart-ass remarks, witticisms, and much snarkiness on her day!

.....ummmmmmmm... I mean: be sure to check in and wish her a very happy, delightfully fun-filled birthday... yeah, that's what I mean.... yeah...

So, in honor of this landmark occasion, we'll be getting together on Saturday and Sunday--July19-20--from 9am on... to celebrate with food and drink and glass and torches.

Beads of Courage beadmaking throughout!

Similar to our glass jams, but torch availability will be limited to torch positions--so please call/email to reserve your torch seat, contributions to the kitty for overhead will be much appreciated.

Potluck, please and thank you! The door will be open, so, in any event---if you've not cooked something, or find that you can come by at the last minute---do come and harass Pam... I mean celebrate the birth of Pam!

I will gladly accept all jokes and harassments as long as they are accompanied by presents!!!

We need a place to stay Saturday night. The Granite Inn is full.

I will be there for Saturday, for sure. Can't let such a moneumental, earthshaking event like Pam's 50th birthday pass without dancing nekkid in the moonlight... ok, not quite that excited about the event but I will be there!

Can this be my RSVP????

Ooh, a Birthday Bashing! I wouldn't miss it! I have put it on my calendar.

Playing with Fire! · #6 2014-06-30, 2:50pm

Yea! Sue, Amanda, and Laura! See you then!

abeadgal · #7 2014-07-01, 2:40am

Bummer, that's my triathlon weekend. I'll miss all the fun & laughs! Happy Birthday Pam!

pamw@sacoriver.net · #8 2014-07-02, 6:43pm

So, my friends, Sue Jones (a real person- not a made up name...), Alice, and Donna are coming. Sue will only be there for Saturday. Gonna be fun!!!

Pam

Playing with Fire! · #9 2014-07-09, 7:01am

And Amanda and Laura, too! Yea!

So Pam, I know you want a pizza with lots of peppers of all kinds, right? ---- Just kidding!

--'No Peppers for Pam' (doesn't that sound like a kid's book?!)

What kind of cake do you want?

Sue in Maine · #10 2014-07-11, 7:19pm

Add Margaret to the list of guests... she's riding with me for Saturday.

What kinda cake? Oh, I can do so much with that for replies!!! Can we light the candles with Ed's torch??? Vavoosh... LIT!!!

Lyn says she's working Saturday but it's possible with no promise that she might be able to stop in on Sunday.

I'm bringing my bell press to try the closed flower blossoms that have been posted as another way to use the bell press. They're pretty.

Sue

pamw@sacoriver.net · #11 2014-07-11, 7:28pm

We are all going to crash at Donna's house! Yeah!!! Melissa is also going to be there for the weekend.

I choose carrot cake.

Pam

I'm a day late and a dollar short, AGAIN. Just saw a post from Sue about the bell press, which gave me my heads up about the PARTY. Found this post about the dates.

I needed 10 days to give notice to work for 2 days off (Friday/Monday). Please don't tell me that there is still a torch available or I will be conniving to get those days off.

Pam, I owe you one (or two or three). Get your butt to NS.

LauraJ · #14 2014-07-13, 6:15am

I just sent a note to Emily to see if she can make it. Hopefully, she doesn't have to work this weekend.

Playing with Fire! · #15 2014-07-14, 9:14am

Hellooooooooo Everyone!

Whoa. We're beyond full (for torch seats) for Saturday.
But everyone is most welcome to come by and roast Pam at will!

... and feel free to negotiate with anyone who's commandeered a torch position. (hey, they have to get up for a bathroom break at some point, right)(carpe diem).

Okie-Dokie, I'll make your carrot cake, Pam.

What else are y'alls all bringin' for food?
(I'm sure someone can correct my attempt at southern-speak, step up now, don't be shy).

Remember: 'No Peppers for Pam' (a children's book, I tell ya!)

Sue in Maine · #16 2014-07-14, 10:21am

I'm stealing Kristi's recipe for the quinoa dish she brought to Pam's the last time we got together- minus the olives and peppers! lol Quinoa is gluten free, which is a major plus for Virginia.

It's a cold salad type of dish.

Anyone allergic to shrimp???

Sue

Moonlight Creations · #17 2014-07-14, 12:15pm

I'm not sure about Saturday but I'm working at 0800 on Sunday for 24 hours! I will let you know if I'm able to on Saturday for a few hours!

I am feeling popular!!!! But I bet we have plenty of spaces to torch! Besides, I will probably be drinking wine by noon...lol!

I will be there around 10:00 a.m. and have been asked to bring my pulled pork.

Pam

pamw@sacoriver.net · #19 2014-07-14, 1:04pm

For the record..... I love raw peppers. I just don't like them when they get above room temperature.

(Ok, insults over- I'm gonna see if I can pick up a couple of lobster on my lunch hour tomorrow. Have to go to Bangor after work but can stay up later cooking, um, er, SLAVING over a hot stove in honor of your 5 0 T H birthday.)

See everyone on Saturday!

Sue

Sue in Maine · #25 2014-07-18, 4:28am

WUH-HOO!!!! TOMORROW is right around the corner! Can NOT wait.

Thank you, Pam, for turning 50. It's going to be an awesome day.

Sue

LauraJ · #26 2014-07-18, 11:23am

My thoughts are running along the lines of a fruit salad, a veggie platter or something totally different. It will be a surprise, even to me.

Sue in Maine · #27 2014-07-18, 7:59pm

sigh... the meat from 4 soft shelled lobster isn't gonna cut it... sadly, I will have to eat it myself but the good news is I will pick up shrimp in the morning...

y'all are buying the sob story of gotta eat it myself, right?

See everyone tomorrow.

Sue

Sue in Maine · #28 2014-07-19, 5:09am

And I'm off.... well, y'all knew that but I am heading out the door. Must stop at Hannaford for the shrimp... will bring some lobster for the quinoa salad as well. It's not much but it's some...

I am looking forward to this day. Thank you, Pam, for hitting 50 for us!!!

Sue

pamw@sacoriver.net · #29 2014-07-19, 5:34am

I am on my way also. Yea!remember, it is all about me. Not the food!

PAM- My cell phone rang a bit ago and could see it was you but battery was almost dead and nothing came through when I answered. It's on the charger right now but it was my reminder to post pictures!
