Thank you all for stopping by! The food was fantastic - great salads, the cake was luscious, the dip was great - BUT I have to know who brought the chocolate chip-chunk cookies????? Those were my favorite - I am a chocoholic - I can never get enough chocolate! Please PM me if you made them or brought them - I have to find more!! Thanks again and hope everyone made it safely home!!

Please feel free to come on over anytime after 1:00pm! Hope to see you here please bring your family and or friends with you! Just let us know how many you think might come - so we can be sure to have enough food on hand! See You Sunday! GREAT - We are so glad you guys can make it! IF you need directions or anything just give us a call! See You Sunday! T&P

Hi Sam - this is a great project!! Seeing as Oakton is my ALma Mater - I would be happy to donate! If you are able to make it SUnday remind me and I'll give you a donation then, if not I will send it to Dr. Wang @ OHS. Patti B.

Just to let everyone know - the tank tour is rescheduled for Sunday Oct. 12, around/after 1pm - please feel free to come on out.......check out the tank tour thread for more info! We hope to see you all here! Patti, Terry and family!

For those who would like to come by - we are going to provide hot dogs and the fixings and sodas, please feel free to bring a side dish to share, or a dessert and if you'd like something other than sodas please feel free to bring that along as well. We are hoping for a nice day weather wise, we have plenty of room for a game of football, baseball or whatever the kids would like to play. We hope to see you all out here for a nice fall day in the country and of course, to see than tanks too! Patti & Terry 34438 Harry Byrd Hwy. Round hill, VA 20141

Jon & Maureen Your tank is gorgeous! I love the rock structure and all of your corals look so vibrant, healthy and happy! I can't wait to one day see this beauty in person!!!

Guys - we are so sorry to have to reschedule our Tank Tour, previously scheduled for Aug. 24th. We will be changing it to Oct. and we will provide plenty of advanced notice so that everyone may be able to attend. We hope that we have not inconvienced anyone with this change. Sorry - Terry & Patti

Guys - we are sorry but we have to postpone the Tank Tour which was scheduled for Aug. 24th....We are going to reschedule for a Saturday in October - we will give plenty of advanced notice so that we may have a great many of you able to attend. In hindsight - August is a busy month for most people - kids going off to school, last minute vacations etc. so we think Oct. will be the perfect time for everyone to come out to the country and see the Autumn foilage as well as our tanks and home. We hope that we haven't not caused anyone any inconvience and that you all will understand and come out in October! Terry & Patti ps - It's really all my fault - I'm super busy at work trying to get ready to get all of the children on buses and back to school in two weeks! P

Very Good idea Maureen - I hadn't thought about it but if everyone has lawn chairs it would be a great idea to bring them - we have 4 or 5 and a table outback. For anyone who would like please feel free to BYOB - we will provide sodas, water etc. Maureen the mexican dip is all yours to bring - I'll put you on the "list" - Thanks again for your help!! If anyone thinks of something I have forgotten by all means please mention it, give me a call, PM me or leave a message here!! I am looking forward to seeing everyone on the 24th!! Sam - I'm hoping that you can work something out to be here - if not you are welcome here anytime!

Oh boy - I am so sorry to hear about her knee - I went thru that in Sept 06 and I'm still not 100% but then again given my age no wonder...I wish her all the best with that! The boys are Josh 17 and Matt 15....I'm not sure if Jessi 6 is going to come with us or not just yet....sort of a long story.....I am looking forward to seeing you guys on Sunday!

We will be there - there will be 2 adults, 2 teen age boys and 1/2 - (6yo girl who hardly eats!) Can't wait!! Thanks Patti & Terry Bittner

OK Maureen I will let you know....thanks again!! (MMMM....Mexican dip sounds yummy!)

Hey Maureen - THanks for the offer......Is there anything specific you would like to bring? We will have all sorts of sodas, water etc. if you'd like adult beverages please feel free to BYOB! If there is something you'd like to bring let me know - if not that's cool too - I really haven't thought about it just yet..... I look forward to seeing you then....Are you going to the frag fest on Sunday? How about the meeting @ the National Aqua. Sat. the 9th? Talk to you soon!

Hi everyone - just wanted to stop in real quick and post a pic of the teal acro from Allen (Ziggy) - this is such a beautiful coral - Allen and Jessy Thanks again!! I hope all is going well with you and you guys had a wonderful 4th!

OK - Honey I've decided that I am the better one with the camera - SOOOOOO I'll be doing the filming and YOU can do the fishing!!! lol Thanks for giving me the heads up on missing out on the painful bites - otherwise he might have actually talked me into the fishing end of this deal!

The fishing party might be tonight! BTW Your tank is gorgeous and your corals are beautiful!!

I'll let Terry give you the list, as I know that I will misspell or worse yet misstate one of the fishies who will be in the 360. Terry seems to think that my fishing for the fish in the 150 is going to be funny - we'll see about that - I told him I would catch all but the eel - to much like a snake for me!!
