TRAVEL PLANS FINAL FOR VEGAS TRIP WITH LADES
      n offer was made by Richard Poquette and accepted by the Pickett's and the Lade's to use the Poquette Family van to travel to Las Vegas Nevada. While there we will witness first hand the wedding of David Poquette and Eunice Wallace. The trip which will take 6 days including the return will be a new experience for the Kat and me as we have always traveled the long distances like this in a fast, efficient, whirlwind fashion via Amtrak. On the train the Kat is allowed to stroll about laying in the sun on which ever side of the train it is shinning on. In the van I fear she will be spending most of the time locked in her travel carrier cage where she cannot distract the driver. The Lade's on the other hand have driven the distance before while vacationing in the west.  We have already decided ahead of time we will alter bicker days every other day with Joanie and Tim taking the first day and the Kat and I will complete the bicker cycle on the last day. Should the stress become too much to bear, bicker days can be cut to 12 hour shifts. The Kat is being no help at all in the planning process of the trip, I mentioned that we should purchase canteens for everyone and fill them for our journey across the desert should we become stranded. I thought the hint would suggest to her to shop for canteens, instead she replied "Joanie and I will just pee in your mouths if we break down and you get thirsty."

NASA CASHES IN ON SALE

    While the shuttle was being moved to the launch site this past week cracks in the foam insulation tiles that line the tank were noticed. A spokesman for NASA Clyde Goldenrod, said that the cracks did not pose a significant problem for the space craft. The spokesman went on to say that they even though there were some minor defects in the tiles they saved money, saved big money when they shopped Menards. The tiles apparently were purchased in a special promotion where items can be purchased in volume by filling special bags marked $25, the bags are then filled with as many items that can fit in the bag.  Since the failures of the tiles on the Challenger were blamed for it's demise the space center has stopped buying discount tiles at Wal-Mart and instead has committed to buying it's tiles from Menards. Beside the tiles NASA was also able to cash in on some O-Rings used join sections of booster rockets, and some discontinued guidance control systems.

ROYAL WEDDING DEPRESSES ME

    Saturday we all heard about the wedding of Prince Charles to Camilla Parker Bowls. It saddens me to see the wedding and realize that Charles has taken a new wife. Who didn't love the fairy tale love affair and marriage Charles had with Princess Diana and the love hate relationship they maintained through out their marriage. I know you are as fascinated as I am with the Royal family and now Charles has taken his boyhood sweetheart as his wife, but no one will ever replace Diana as England's sweetheart. Tune into the Birthday Page it's new, click here to see it. That's all the news that is news, see ya.

RICK & BOBBI WEDDING TO BE ON POQUETTE FIELD
     lans were finalized recently for the wedding ceremony between Rick Poquette and Bobbi Carder. The wedding ceremony will be an outdoor affair with all the action happening on the 25 yard line of Poquette Field. The field of course will not be lined for the event however the bring your own seating order may be in effect for the day depending on the number of people invited. One would think that the family would not procure a sports stadium for an event unless hoards of people were to flood the event making a church impractical. So far the names of only one couple have been released as members of the wedding party, they are Gary (Happy) Meeuwsen and Jerralyn, last name unknown. The reception and dinner following the wedding is planned at a local ballroom in Seymour Friday June 3, 2005.

CORNELIUS BAKOS WEDDING
April Cornelius and Rick Bakos were wed Saturday in a small ceremony at the Candleglow in Abrams Wisconsin. The ceremony was held in the bar portion of the facility with patrons looking over the bar and their cocktails to get a good look at the bride and wedding party. Vows were taken and only one small mistake was made by the very nervous groom. When the preacher was administering the wows she said to Rick whose real name is Patrick "repeat after me,I Patrick take this woman April....."   Rick repeated what she said perfectly, Rick: "repeat after me, I Patrick take this woman April......" About 150 people attended and the party lasted well after midnight. The Bakos - Cornelius  wedding now officially brings the total number of Ricks in the Poquette family to 3. As a side note to the wedding and as a result of constant badgering from Jean Poquette Hansen Sue Wenzel and Eugene Cornelius danced one dance "for the children" as Hansen put it. The dance which was a tender moment was Cotton Eyed Joe.

NEW COLLAR FOR THE KAT
As you may have heard whether your a resident of Wisconsin or not the state has adopted a policy regarding the annihilation of feral cats. The law now is in favor of shooting feral cats at will. It seems that if an uncollared unidentified cat is allowed to wander around outside it is open season on them if they wander into unwelcome territory. The Kat who from time to time sneaks out the door when it is opened is now going to have to wear an ID collar as part of her daily garb. It is the only way to keep her alive short of keeping her in her Kat carrier the whole time. As it is she will no doubt be spending a lot of time in the carrier when take the car trip to Las Vegas. While it is unusual for the Kat to be taken as a feral because of her unusual size (most feral cats are skinny and small from lack of food) the Kat might be seen as a worthy target because of the annoying Kat sounds she makes. Neighbors of the area were heard to murmur they may not be able to see the collar if the Kat were to wander onto their property, so a collar with large metals was chosen. That's all the news that is news, see ya.
