Extend the "Pleasure" Wine Cruise Sat. July 17th

[Nicky-The-Squid]

:eureka: Some of us are meeting for dinner Friday night, July 16th at Wrights Farm in Rhode Island. Barbara and I have decided to extend the pleasure to an all day cruise Saturday, July 17th. This will consist of traveling beautiful, roadster worthy, country roads, a nice place for a seafood lunch and two wineries.
:metoo: Please post if you will join us.

:shout: This is a nice cozy group thus far. But would still like to see a couple of more participants. Not everyone has gotten back to me so I still don't have all the :thumbsup: or :thumbsdow yet. Please respond by July 7th for the Friday night dinner because reservations etc. need to be made. The Saturday cruise has no early reservations.

I'm not going to make Friday night - have a Yankee game - will try to make Lunch on Saturday.

[Nicky-The-Squid]

Sorry you can't make it Roger. Always look forward to seeing you and Terri.
OK Chuck, got you down for maybe Saturday lunch on. Not a long ride between lunch and the second winery. It will be mostly being together with friends at that point. What would you do, Join us with your truck?
Great Wes, glad you can make both days.

[Chuck]

Nick, Yea, I'll just shoot up with the truck

[Nicky-The-Squid]

Friday night at Wrights Farm:
Plan on being there at 7:00. Park around the back of the restaurant labeled "Carriage Room". Jerry's cousin is going to set us up with a private section.

[3rd Brd]

Thanks Nicky. See you there!

[Nicky-The-Squid]

John, what car are you bringing?

[3rd Brd]

Nicky,
Happy to say the black/sand '04 is back in action! Quarter panel all fixed plus I finally got new rims. I'm all set for cruising this weekend!
John

[Nicky-The-Squid]

The weather for Saturday's cruise is becoming more and more favorable. Hot, partly cloudy 20% chance of showers.

[Birdlover]

I'll be leaving home by 6AM to meet everyone in E Bridgwater MA. If all goes well I'll be there around 8:30AM. We have a new dog (purebred yellow lab) upon the loss of Noodles this week, so Gordon will be staying home to be with his new sidekick. See you all on Saturday.
Richard

[3rd Brd]

Richard,

So sorry to hear about Noodles passing. Please give my condolences to Gordon. It's been a tough year with pets for the NE chapter. Glad that you are giving another dog a home.

See you Saturday morning.
John

[Chuck]

Richard, feel so badly about Noodles, it's just devastating. I couldn't take it any longer and wound up getting another dog. It just eats you alive from the inside out.

[Birdlover]

I want to thank Nick and Barbara for the wonderful cruise they planned. It was an extremely pleasant and enjoyable top down pleasure cruise with wonderful scenery. Both wineries were good choices, but the second was the best; the grounds, trees and the breeze were a great way to end the day. Thank you!
Richard

[Geodiver]

Back from Long Island...wonderful short trip...thanks everyone for Friday night at Wright's Farm...Michelle & Jerry

[Geodiver]

Thank you everyone for the good wishes and the thoughtful gifts (lots of comments on my watch, Wes)...Thanks again...Michelle

[02LeeBird]

Big thank you to Gerry and Nicky for the Friday night party. Cindy and I had a great time at the party and a fun time Saturday cruising......It's always great when we get together for a cruise and Nicky picked some great roads for a warm summer day. Nice shade and wine for our soul's.....

[3rd Brd]

Nicky / Jerry,

Thank you for the wonderful evening on Friday. Glad I could be there to celebrate. Many thanks to Barbara for masterminding the cruise on Saturday. Visiting wineries was a first for me and look forward to doing it again sometime. The scenic route through MA and RI was beautiful plus nothing beats t-bird'ing with friends.

Sincerely,
John.

[Carmino]

Thanks to Jerry and Nicki for a wonderful night on Friday; we were happy to share the everning with the birthday girls. Saturday was another wonderful day and thanks to Barbara and Nick for a well planned route and a great ride; the vineyard was great and spending the afternoon with friends is always a pleasure. Hope to do it again soon. Mary & Carmino
