Nicholas and I had a great time at your place LYD! Thanks for having us over. The food was delicious...especially the ribs. 

Sorry we couldn't spend more time there. My wife had other plans for us.

It was a pleasure meeting all the new faces. I'm really bad at remembering names. 

Best wishes up in Ohio! [moto]

Who's daughter was that crawling in and out from the doggie door. That was cute!

Wow - what a great day! Thanks so much Mindy and Alan for having us over - I just wish the reason for the party could have been different 

Still cool to see everyone - friends and their families -  having such a good time.  Sam was not ready to go; I think he would have stayed in the pool until he grew gills    Great fun.

Anyway, we had a blast!

Alan, best wishes to you and Mindy - here's hoping you've got nothing but smooth sailing from here on out

That was some serious fun.  I'm sore as heck from all that V-ball. Just for the record, I believe when I left, Alan's "A-team" was down 4-2 games. 

It's too bad Lexi had a terrible time and begged to leave....

Again, Alan and Mindy, I hate to see you all leave, but the best of wishes to your family.

Tell Lexi that I'm mad she left without saying bye.

It was a great day yesterday, that has somehow bled into today!  Alan, Rich, and I got to take a ride in Jason's plane today!  I'm still waiting for Rich to get back from his sorte. After this some food, a nap, and then hopefully bike shopping.

OMG!!!!!!!!

Once again, proof beyond our doubt, LSD are simply the best.
The day could not have been better...
HUGE thanks to Mindy for putting up with all our shenanigans
I can't believe she let us trash her house like that just days before it goes on the market
Thanks to everyone who brought food (those spicy ribs were SPICY!)

It's really hard to believe we're losing BLQ. Ohio is not worthy, & it's a big loss for Texas
Alan & Mindy- y'all are the best. Safe travels, & hurry back. Always room at the WareHome anytime you're in town

[LYD]

Yesterday was a great day!! and now I am packing waiting for Nora to wake up so I get her ready.  I really want to say thanks to EVERYONEfor bring all the food and for making my last day here a really great one!!

THANKS EVERYONE

Reading all of this just pisses me off that I too wasn't there. Had a full plate starting with Andre's lunch on Thursday with the crew (lucky I got to make that...) more stuff in the afternoon then fireworks/Kaboomtown in Addison with Jen's drunk/jerk brother and his non drunk/non jerk wife who invited themselves along! Would have liked to have stuck a roman candle up his a##! ... excuse me, I digress.

Then Lakewood neighborhood parade Friday AM with Colin and fellow Scouts marching, cookout lunch and swim at the Knights of Columbus pool all afternoon (thank goodness the trek to Rockwall was cancelled!) then dinner and a movie at the mall last night. All very good and entertaining but it deprived me of hanging with Alan, Mindy and the mob once again. Thought about the good quality BS, great food and drink and general cavorting that I was missing out on. Would have loved to have been there. That would have made it a great 4th!!!

Alan, sorry I didn't get to say goodbye in person... and to Mindy and meet Nora. At least I got to ride with you one last time on the Muenster run! Good luck to you on the new job in Ohio, hope the move and transition goes even better than expected. Again, if there is anything you or Mindy need that I (or the group) can help with don't ever let the long distance get in the way of asking. It's the least I can do to offer. I mean it.

Please stay in touch via the board. You've got my phone numbers, call or email when you get a permanent address and phone number. Will seriuosly miss you bro', expect to hear your ears burning on a regular basis! Again, stuff in yellow will never be the same after your gone! At least the magical little yellow duck has once again returned to it's rightful owner and the universe is now back in alignment and the Ducati Gods have been appeased! Take care, ride safe and continue having fun!

Great party! We showed up late and missed the vball championship but still plenty of people there and tons of yummy food.

Glad I got to see Alan before he takes off. We'll sure miss you dude! Best of luck up north and hope you can return for a visit sometime. Y'all are definitely welcome to stay at our place if you need a temporary home.

thanks again alan and mindy for everything...i can't say thanks enough, that was a great time for real.  it's been a while since i was able to start drinking at 7am and hang all day and into the night.    great people, awesome food (i still have lots of leftovers in the fridge   ), and great volleyball.  maybe by the time you're able to make a trip back to dallas, i'll have developed some more net skills...  i need to work on my serve though; gotta get that "weak-serve" down.

really sorry to see you go, man; i've had a great time hanging out with you, and i know everyone else has, too.  hope you'll be able to stop on in sometime in the near future
