Southern California Yorkie Meet-up 10/13/07

[laurenr]

Okay, it's drizzling here right now. I just spoke to Lisa and she thought maybe we could meet tomorrow? Can anyone else make it then?
Meg, I just returned your PM a few minutes ago.

Misty, I am so sorry about today, I was so looking forward to it. There are also a couple of unexpected things going on here right now, so maybe for me, postponing it is for the best. I have to go up to LA later today, but will check in here in a little while.

Aaaw... Misty, so sorry! Mango and I were sooo looking forward to our play date. Unfortunately for me, it might have been for the best. This morning we were waiting on news for Jack's Dad, whether he was going to have a medical procedure done or not.
Such a pity about today. Hugs to you and your little Chloe ( I was also hoping that she could have taught my Mango some MANNERS today.)

Ronda, I spoke to Lisa, and we were talking about meeting tomorrow at the Yorba Regional Park on La Palma, the one we had our first meetup at. What do you think? We could do it at the same time - 1:30.
Let me know. I actually left a message for you on your cell.
Lauren

[RONLYNN]

Oh thanks Lauren....I will get the message when I leave my house because unforunately I don't get cell service in my house. I don't know if I can make it to the Yorba Linda park but I will try....I am going out to my brothers house in Philips Ranch tonite and spending the nite and it's right next to Chino Hills so I was hoping it was still there but I can probably make it to Yorba Linda. Can you pm me your cell # or Misty's # so I can call and see if we are on for tomorrow. Thanks!

And where did all this rain come from?? I had no idea it was going to rain...came out of a restaurant last nite and it was pouring!! We were soaked...did not expect it.

Here are some pictures from today's meetup, party of one.

The park was really nice and pretty dry. There were a few places where it was muddy, but there were several places I found that were very dry--large enough to set up a few attached xpens.

(and, of course, it did not and still has not started raining...)

Since we pretty much knew no one else was going to show up, Chloe and my son and I went at 1:00 and stayed until a little after 2:00pm and had a picnic. It was pretty lonely and boring to be all alone, so we left after a short while.

Here's the video from the park today. Chloe sure missed getting to see her pals. It was a really nice day to be at the park, but we didn't stay long.

I'm going to bow out of the So-cal yorkie meetup group. I've transferred ownership of the yahoo group to Lisa, and I have unsubscribed. If anyone needs to reach me, you can either email me or pm here at YT.

I kind of get the impression that it comes down to not wanting to meet anywhere but in the Orange County area. Especially now that I see that the meetup location has been changed to Yorba park. I'm sorry if this sounds petty or whiny, but I'd be lying if I said my feelings weren't hurt by basically being told by a couple of people that they didn't believe me when I said it wasn't raining here.

Anyway, have fun tomorrow!

Misty, I am sooooo sorry you were hurt. The only reason we made it at the Yorba Park tomorrow, was because we thought you could not make it, and were not sure if anyone else could. If you could make it tomorrow, I would be happy to do it at the Chino Hills Park; from the pictures it looks so pretty. (It is actually a shorter distance from me than the Park Bench Cafe we went to in July).
I am so upset about today; there was another factor that was totally unexpected regarding Jack's Dad. There was a possibility this afternoon, that he might have had to have a medical procedure done. (It has now been rescheduled for some time next week, as they have to stabilize his condition first) This was all so unexpected. He had gone in for tests yesterday afternoon, and the family was not expecting this outcome. So this was another factor, together with the rain, that made me decide to stay home.
Once again, I am so terribly sorry you were hurt; that is the last thing I would ever have intended. You are a MOST valued member of this group, and I cannot imagine future meetups without you and Chloe there. Please reconsider.
Lauren

Im sorry you were the only one at the meet up. Chloe looked cute in her dress and the park is very pretty...maybe next time the weather will be better.

Misty - I'm so sorry you feel that way. It has nothing to do with not wanting to make the drive. Matt and I just got home after driving around since 10:00 this morning (I had all the meet-up stuff with me in preparation to go), so driving is definitely not a problem for us. Actually, according to Mapquest, the Chino Hills park is only 1.5 miles farther from my house than the Yorba park, so it really makes no difference to me which one I drive to. And if driving was a problem, we wouldn't have attended the meet-up in Huntington Beach in July! As Lauren said, the reason we discussed changing the meet-up to Yorba tomorrow is because it looked like it was just going to be the 2 of us since you had already told me you couldn't go tomorrow, she couldn't get ahold of Meg and Ronda, and I know Yorba is a little closer for Lauren. I actually told Lauren that we should have it at Chino Hills if it meant more people could come (which may be the case since Ronda said she could come if we have it at Chino Hills tomorrow), and Lauren agreed that was no problem, because we'd rather have more people there.

As for not believing you that it wasn't raining there, that's not the case at all. It's not that I didn't believe you that it wasn't raining there at the time we talked on the phone this morning, but even the meteorologists often don't know when/if it's going to rain, so all we have to go on is what the current conditions are and what the likely forecast is. Given that yesterday it poured all evening and night with only a 20% chance of rain for yesterday, then the fact that it rained here this morning at about 11:00, and the fact that it gave a 40% chance of rain for today in Chino Hills was reason enough to believe that we may get wet. I'm sorry if we were wrong and that ultimately did not happen, but personally, I cannot predict the future. Also, I just gave Sukoshi a bath, and I really didn't want her dodging mud puddles in an attempt to have fun! I'm so sorry you feel this was an effort to not believe you when you said it wasn't CURRENTLY raining.

The likelihood in SoCal is that once it starts raining, it moves EAST, and it hits us all. Maybe you didn't get hit like the rest of us last night, but if you had all the rain and lightening that it sounds like Ronda, Lauren, and I all got (like I said in an earlier post, it even woke me up and knocked out our electricity at 4:00 in the morning), then maybe you would better understand where we're coming from. I'm sorry you and Chloe were by yourself today, but I did give you advance notice that Lauren and I weren't going to risk the rain and were going to meet tomorrow instead. It sounds like you and your son had a nice day at the park though, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

Ronda - Since you are still able to come tomorrow, let's do it at Chino Hills as originally planned. The only reason Lauren and I mentioned moving it is because we thought it was just going to be the two of us, and the two parks are equal from me and Yorba is a little closer for Lauren, so it just made sense to go with the one that was a little closer. Since you and Teddi will still be able to join us (YAY ), we'll just plan to see you at Chino Hills tomorrow at 1:30!!! Sukoshi's so excited!!!!

Oh...and as for where all this rain came from...I KNOW!!! Matt and I are asking the same thing! He drove is 350Z yesterday which NEVER sees rain, and he was so pi**ed that his baby got wet! There was only a 20% chance of rain, so we weren't expecting it to actually happen. Guess it proved us wrong!

See you and Teddi tomorrow!
