My good neighbour, Mike; says he wants to roast a pig next year…probably with a beef side dish…
We sat and talked about it last night; and he wants to be part of the “Invasion” again…
Fr.Fred
…oh yes…we may invite a piper, to introduce the meal…anyone like bag pipes…?
Ric…the marching band will be in Newfoundland next July; and can’t make it…as for the key to the city…it is lost and they can’t find a good locksmith…sorry.
Roast Pig is one of my favorite vegetables. Bag Pipes are fine as long as they are not played at 11pm or later.
Lone Railroader, wouldn’t that be “Hi Ho Stainless!”
Tom Ruby said:No, it would not! But maybe, Nickel-Silver?

And I suggest Barbeque Goat for the “Invasion”. It goes great with bheer (cervaza).

Ken Brunt said:When we had funerals at Fort Devens, Massachusetts, one of the bagpipers from the Canadian Paras would come and play Amazing Grace at the Special Forces Soldier's Funeral. It created an even more solemn ceremony. Sadly, I heard it played for too many friends.Fred Mills said:Funny you should mention that.

You guys keep talking pipes and you will have me there. Sue and I travel to a lot of pipe and drum events during the year when we can find them. My burial instructions have requested a piper to play “Amazing Grace” I want to make sure that those who have come to make sure that I am dead leave with a tear in their eye.
Now that I am no longer encumbered by train shows or having to worry that I may offend anyone by going or not going, I can go anywhere that they will have me.

You’re certainly welcome to attend, Ron. I find it a whole lot more fun than attending conventions. As a founding member of this so-called “Invasion”, I think I can speak for Fred and post this formal “Invitation”!
The more, the merrier…

So Ron, do you need directions to my house in September for the Canadian Invasion? After that you can just follow the caravan to Marty’s.
Ric,
Unless the air situation gets worse, Sue and I are to leave for Ireland on the 10th of Sept. We have canceled this trip twice now, so it is do or die trying. We had to work to get that scheduled in before the arrival of the next grandchild on or about the 12th of Oct. According to gradmaw Sue and I not to make any plans that do not include being within minutes of the event.
However we have been planning on a western invasion to include Marty’s next year. So we may just take you up on the carravan as well.
Ron
Ron,
Just let us know if the plans change. Easiest solution on the grandchild situation is just drag “mother to be” with you wherever you go.
Duck or stand behind something large, when you read that to Sue. She’ll want to hit me, but will take it out on you by association.
Your always welcome.
Ric,
Dragomg the mother to be around may not be hard, but the son in law is larger and harder to drag. If plans change and I am really hoping they don’t as we had to cancel this once before because of problems we ran into with the second MWLSTS.
Ron
