| Another Picnic in the Park....South Pasco...North Pinellas ... July 19th Posted: 7/13/2008 1:12:06 PM | Hi all just saying, I checked the website and did a dry run -- followed their map -- although it is back in some neighborhood I was actually able to find it with little incident. Also, I am bringing same as I did last time -- a plate of cubanitos and another of various *-salad sammiches, plus prolly some sweet tea.
I have also attempted to suggest to a few people on here that they might like to go, and I think I may have succeeded in getting 2 or 3 to come too -- all this in spite of my inherent shyness! Can't wait! | |

If you've never had it, it's pepperoni (of course) and provolone (not sure if Liz uses mozzarella) all rolled up in bread dough and then baked. It's a yummy appetizer/meal. We're at 135 and counting.... Rain or shine...it'll be great. | |

| Another Picnic in the Park....South Pasco...North Pinellas ... July 19th Posted: 7/15/2008 7:56:33 PM | Phoenixwych, I picked up a watermelon today & put it in the frig, and want to pick up the hamburger & hot dog rolls tomorrow or Thursday. We have a Pepridge Farms Outlet store in Brandon going out of business now offering 50% off. How many of each type of rolls should I buy? Last time I bought rolls for a picnic I was eating them for several weeks. What's your best guess. | |

| Another Picnic in the Park....South Pasco...North Pinellas ... July 19th Posted: 7/16/2008 9:43:21 AM | I just got something in my email that made me really stop and think.....I posted it in my profile but thought I'd share it with you all......read it and ponder.....
Changing The Way We Relate
Making Over Our Partners
A relationship, in the truest sense of the word, means relating to another. Usually when we say that we relate to someone, it is because we’ve found common ground. But part of relating is finding ways to make ideas that seem different come together. So often when we choose relationships, we try to fit another person into our predetermined ideal. When they don’t fit perfectly, we may try to make them over, creating our own vision from the raw material they’ve brought. But unless someone asks for guidance and direction, entering into a relationship with someone we want to change is dishonest. Then our relationship becomes with someone we’ve imagined, and anytime our partner steps outside of that imaginary projection, we will be disappointed. An honest relationship is one in which we accept each other as whole individuals, and find a way to share our life experiences together. Then, whenever we want, we can choose as a couple to give the relationship a makeover by renewing the way we interact.
By wanting to give another person a makeover, we are basically saying we don’t accept them for who they are. If we take a moment to imagine the roles reversed, we can get a sense of how it would feel if our beloved only committed to us because they thought we were, or would become, someone else entirely. In such an environment, we are not relating to each other from a real place, and we are keeping ourselves from being able to learn and grow from the different viewpoints that our partners offer.
If we feel that a change is needed in our relationship, the only makeover that we truly have the power to make is on ourselves. By accepting our partners for exactly who they are—the ideal and the not-so-ideal—we will create an energetic shift in our relationships, and we may find ourselves really appreciating our partners for the first time. Working from within, we determine how we relate to the people and the world around us, and when we can accept it and embrace it all, without conditions, we make every act of relating a positive one. | |

| Another Picnic in the Park....South Pasco...North Pinellas ... July 19th Posted: 7/17/2008 12:32:41 PM | I picked up today 5 packages of hot dog rolls and 5 packages of hamburger rolls at the Pepridge Farms outlet store. That's 40 hot dog rolls & 40 hamburger rolls. I made my world famous potatoe salad & its in the frig. I also have a watermelon cooling off in the frig. I got a good buy on charcoal at Home Depot ($2.38) for 10 lbs. Just have to pack my cooler Saturday morning and its picnic time. Is there a barbeque grill at the site ? | |
