This post could be called “Doc should change his name to Chef”, ”Andi becomes the mom, while her mom freaks out”, It’s so hot, will my cheesecake melt?”. Okay, I think you all get a little snapshot of this evening.
Well, I've been going by Doc for 30+ years, not sure if I could train myself to answer to chef.
Need I say more?
Yes.
Oh I do, okay on with the show!
Whew! Scared me a little there.
Andi was intrigued with the candle making. She decided to come back and make a couple candles to bring back for herself and her friends.
That sounds like a cool thing to do for friends...something made vs. just bought!
We caught a bus to AK and Soon we were walking into my favorite park! It was very hot again, are you surprised? The plan was to meet @docsoliday1 his wife and Tracy by the Island Mercantile.
Glad you were able to. With all the problems and delays, I thought you were trying to duck me (not that I'd blame you).
We all met up and visited for awhile. This was so fun. Doc had prepackaged cheesecake for both Tracy and I. This was so sweet. It was nice meeting his wife this time as well.
It wasn't sweet...it was a bribe. I knew you'd probably not want to meet the ugly old guy again, but knew you liked my cheesecake. I was hoping that and being able to meet my wife might be enough incentive.
Tracy was working on a 4 park day and we unfortunately put a kink in her plans.
To quote the commercial...Not sorry. Well, I was, but was so glad being able to visit with her.
@Tracy161 is such a sweetheart. Really enjoyed getting to meet and hand out with her a while.
Um... my phone was gone
I started to freak out! Andi became the mom and calmed me down
Ugh, missing phone is a sinking feeling in the pit of the stomach thing.
Andi talked me down and we decided it had to be on Dinosaur. It must have fell out of my pocket.
Go Andi!
Sure enough it was there! Yay, thank goodness!
:whew: (okay no whew emoji)
Yak and Yeti was on our radar for dinner.
Not at all surprised. I think Y&Y is to you as Tiffins is to me.
We decided to share the Tikka Masala with Tofu instead of chicken.
Tofu? I'll pass.
I had put a nearly frozen water bottle next to the cheesecake in my bag and it did stay cold.
Glad to hear that. That was the one thing I was worried about...we had kept it cold getting to you, but wasn't sure how long y'all were going to stay and if it would be okay.
I had a piece of cheesecake back at the room and Andi tried some and she thought it was very good. Thanks again Doc!
Glad she finally tried it (and more so liked it). I don't make it to get compliments, but I get a warm fuzzy when I know the folks enjoy it.
Oh and of course Kevin sightings!
YAY Kevin!!!
I was wondering what you were doing with it. Cheesecake in August in AK does not sound like the best of circumstances.
Yeah, I was a bit concerned also. I think for future meets if I bring cheesecake, I'll have to come up with something the person can keep it cold AFTER as well. We had brought a cooler, but after Caroline and Tracy got it, that was a real concern. Tracy said she was going to go back to her room, so I figured hers would be okay.
Seems like Doc is getting in tons of Meets lately!!
Glad you all had such a nice time!
Loving living local so I can meet up with friends (either first time or old).
Well at least it wasn't MY table! LOLOLOL!!!
Thank goodness for that.
Great picture of everyone!
Would be better minus the two guys.
Such an awesome meet! And so nice of Doc to gift you with that delicious-sounding cheesecake.
Still willing to make you one you could have as well (allergy friendly)
I know where this is going...
Ruh roh. I know where it could have been going with Caroline, but now
@pkondz is saying this...
He does that. Isn't he so generous?
I told you, it's a bribe. Bribary will get you everywhere (including jail if to the wrong person)
Meh. Losing a phone is worse. You can always make a new kid, but replacing the photos on your phone? Good luck!
Wow! Just wow!
Nope, still a bribe.
I agree! Either that or Cheesecake Magician. Thanks again, @docsoliday1 - you are amazing!!!
Thanks Tracy. Coming from you, and considering how amazing I think
YOU are, that means a lot!
So much fun
It was. Really enjoyed our time.
I'd have traded park time for hanging with Dis pals any day
Yay! Now I'm more "not sorry" than I was before.
right back!
