SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Come one, come all! I need help with buliding Ellie's boat so she can go visit Toby.
There is a lot of work to be done, both with the building of it and also crewing it for her once its built.
OK, so I've been chosen to design it and will be doing major carpentry work. And then I get to be captain (Ellie says) but I could probably use a co-captain (or more!)
So, what is your specialty? We need all the workers we can get for this project! Carpenters, plumbers, seamstresses, cooks and wait staff, interior design, you name it -- it's gonna be a major project for our Ellie and I don't think she'd mind if we get to have an adventure while we're doing it.
Eliie -- I need you to post your specifications here (and remember, THIS time I'm charging for changes ---- ha ha, got you there!!!)
Ready terriers?! Let's do it!
Your pal, Roo

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Hey Roo! I can come and help you! I have bolts and bolts of plaid tartan fabric that I can start making draperies and bedspreads and tablecloths and maybe some kilts for the crew, what do you think? FGM also says she will pack me a magical basket of food to feed the workers! she likes to do that stuff, ya know! Okay, I will start packing for the trip to your house! By the way, did you get the LeMans back? Your friend, Ragsy

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Yup! Got the LeMans back! (lucky for me!) I can't wait to see that fabric, Rags, I think it will be just what Ellie wanted!!!
And the magical food ----- well, bring it on. I am retrofitting the Lemans with wings and will be flying friends there, so give a holler when you arrive (I'll be in the barn). I'm going to see if MacGuyver will pilot Westie Air as a cargo plane for our supplies. I've gotta remember to roll that plane out of the hayloft!!!
See ya soon, my friend!

Here's my idea
I thought this looked like a much easier boat to build...if we spend less time building the boat, it will allow more time for eating TREATS!!
Just a thought... Booker

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Camy, You must have a wee snack if you are to be toiling on the boat. Let's see what the FGM has packed for us! Hmmm, a big plaid tablecloth, she's original. Oh, here are the goodies. Hmm, chicken ala Cairn, one of my favorites! Westie Wings, Terrier tacos, and some freeze dried fruit salad! Let's get started on our lunch! Has anybody seen Roo? Ragsy

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
I'm here Rags! I'd call you Ragsy but I think I got in trouble for that -- or, if I leave the Muffin part off of it, maybe that's OK?
Anyhoo, I'm here. I'm raiding the barn and Dad's workshop for parts. Got some great pulleys and lots of wood for structural stuff.
Also, Mom's been using her FoodSaver like crazy so I've got lots of stuff to bring along to help feed the crew, too. (Sesame Chicken and Fried Rice, anyone?!?!!?!?!)
All Westies and Cairns who want to go -- we will be leaving here around 7 p.m. my time so if you want, we can all go together. I've got some room in the Lemans and plenty in the WestieAir jet.
And FGM's magic food basket will have all the great ingredients for our long flight!
Oh, and as for the boat drawings, we will have to run them by Ellie. And Sambuca, I think you and Ragsy will make a great team and I think you'll like working together. I would like to preorder a kilt, by the way and a special captain's tam!
Signing off for now, Captain Roo
If I missed anybody, I'm sorry -- but don't worry, I will gladly accept all your help and advice! Let's go terriers! We've got a boat to make!

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
MacGuyver, Are you up to piloting WestieAir? It's going to be used as a cargo & passenger plane. I am going to be flying the Lemans )I put wings on it -- ha ha!)
Then when we get there, I could use some help with carpentry (and keeping Ellie --- um, happy -- you are very diplomatic, so you can be the go-between if you don't mind!_
Glad you can make it, pal!

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Why don't we book ourselves a trip on a boat like this? There will be plenty of room to sleep, etc. We could eat all we want - no restrictions, 24 hour service, even room service. Don't forget the midnight buffet - lots of lovely desserts. If we find out we are putting on weight and need to exercise we could run around the decks and have a ball. Maybe if it is warm enough we could jump in the pools and go down the slides. I am sure we could put on a good talent show. We can't forget to have some of the drinks with the little umbrellas. This sounds a lot easier than all the work of building a ship. Mac

Re: SHIP BUILDING FESTIVAL!
Mum says our life is pretty cruisy so we can be some of the crews. We'd look good in sailor suits. Looks like the job of figurehead has been taken, but we are pretty good watch dogs too. Here we are guarding our property for mum. And we chase lots of blackbirds, so we could be up in the crows nest - crows are just bigger blackbirds, aren't they?
