    David if your ever in the neighborhood again, let us know so we can put something together. Plus I think it's time for me to break down and buy one of your Zeppelin's. A small one of course.
    Take care

    Sue and I will check the date. We might be able to bring a few others (degodave and CelticCat).

    We miss playing with you folks.

    I have fond memories of our very first scramble which was at your place, and the devastation I wrought in our first game when I collided with you after we downed all the enemy planes and only had the bomb-run to complete. Sue and I are still in therapy from meeting Rick.

    I definitely want to play the balloon bust scenario that we did at Bob's. There may also be a heavy bomber raid. Maybe Beth's "trench wench" scenario, see if she can repeat as a dominatrix of the skies! Sure would like to do 3.

    If you guys want to, a cheese and sausage tray is always a hit. I am planning on order pizzas around 5 PM. Give everybody a taste of one of the more popular pizzas in this area.

    This is why I need to stop making these Zeppelins at this scale, if I had a big one I could drop in for food, fun and great fellowship . . . .

    Sue and I will be there, but we'll only be able to stay to 3:30. We'll head into the Southside to see our parents at that time.

    Michael, let us know where and at what number we can reach you.

    Looking forward to seeing all of you.

    Bob, could you please bring your German balloons? I would like to play the early war balloon bust scenario again and those balloons are just too cool! Other than that, I think I have everything I need.

    Great pictures!

    Very nice-looking German Sausages there; shame they cooked so well!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    The German balloons are from Clippers elves. Patti was really on target with the incendiary equipped Nieuports.
