Attention, all you Armstrong list party animals, Fount Ray A. and I have been talking about the idea of having another cyber party. FR and I have been thinking that this time we should keep track of all the recipes for cousins' specialties and have a list party cook book after we are done. I would love for somebody to take charge of running the party, but if nobody wants to do it, Fount and I will try to do it. It doesn't take much effort...just picking a date and then letting listers know that it's time to tell us what they will bring to eat and share, to drink and share, what they will wear, what musical or dancing entertainment they might like to provide, and WHERE we will have the party. I will be away on the date we originally spoke of...Valentine's Day...so I am hoping we can put off the party until the first of March. John D. says he doesn't care and it's up to all of us to decide what we want to do. Rigid genealogists will have to hold their noses while we get ready for the party and for the 24 hours we actually have the party. As I remember we started off in Australia and then moved around the world as the day progressed. I don't know if we have any list members in Europe any more, but if we do, then the party will end up there. So...it's time for somebody to step up and offer to chair this madness...and another person willing to start a file of the recipes...and the rest of the group to decide if there is enough interest to go ahead. Yes, it's kind of silly, but it's a good time and helps us all get acquainted with each other, where we live, what we like to do, etc. Let us hear from you!

Been away from the computer for a few days #1 son broke his left leg so we are in the cartage business for awhile. That man needs to get married. He is handsome, has a good sense of humor, is employed, reads and in general is a good guy--Maybe at the party we could fix him up???? If someone figures out how to send pictures and other attachments I could post his picture--if none of you tell. As I recall, Feb 14 was an arbritary date so someone suggest another. Also need to give some instructions on how it should work? How did it go on the last one? Am looking through all the "favorites" in the receipt collection. But the wine will have to be a good Cabernet for sure. I can assure you that is not produced in KS--although we do have a new vineyard in our county, his wine has a long way to go. Colder than h--- her today. The first sign of winter and I hope it is the last. PARTY! YEA! Patti ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn R.

Patti, Sorry to hear about your no1 Son's leg... Since this Clan is so universal, perhaps you can con some of our Cousin's from Australia to bring some wine to the party.. Although my personal preferences lean towards a good ale and/or fine Whisky, on a recent trip to Whistler, B.C. I happened to be introduced to some fantastic Australian Wines by our Son and favorite Daughter-in-Law and one of the wines was an excellent Cabernet.. In fact speaking of good Ales, I wasn't aware that our Cousin's over in Canda made so many outstanding ales, until I went to Whistler. They definitely don't export the better ones, at least not into Alaska, so perhaps a Canadian Cousin or two could bring a couple bottles of good Porter Stout for us less fortunates...!
