Nothing can keep a group of Hedonites from getting together for a party.
Most everyone was able to get here from the East Coast even though the weather was terrible and flights were canceled. The folks that did make it out Thursday morning were a little frazzled from dealing with the snow and uncertainty of their arrangements. However, folks showed up ready to party. The last one arrived Friday afternoon.
Hedo friends will:
Pack a chocolate fountain
Send bubbles thru the mail for goodie bags
Bring decorations
Make pecker and tittie cookies, with frosting and sprinkles
Buy food
Clean the party place
Put a Band-Aid on a bloody Boo-Boo
Hedo hosts will:
Make sure everyone has a towel
Have enough food to feed an Army
Have enough beverages to fill the pool
Have heaters to heat the night air when it's 45 degrees outside
Fall in your lap when they've had enough partying
Fall out of their chair and break a nail...but swear they aren't fucked up
Show off a 2 foot long bruise on the side of their body, so friends can take a picture of it
The last of the gang is in the air and flying back to the east coast. The kitchen is clean, the outdoor kitchen is clean, but the fridge is overflowing with leftovers.
Guess what? I'm NOT cooking tonite!
Hedo Hugs & Kisses~

This weekend at Hedo II-son totally ROCKED! The weather was warm during the day and brisk at night but thank goodness for those outdoor heaters.  As usual, the food at Hedo II-son was simply awesome. Cherbunny is a very talented cook and a wonderful hostess, too. We had such a great time ... again! So ... when are we doing it again?  |

I DID manage to make a KILLER batch of spaghetti today though - cooked all day in the crock pot - Randy made me get the dinner together early as his mouth was watering waiting for it to be ready... |

Super special thanks to Cher and Rick for a wonderful party! Those guys KNOW how to throw a bash! Great food, great friends, great casting. And they have the ULTIMATE party house that I have ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if Hef himself calls them up for party tips.
Thanks again, guys; you certainly know how to put on the Ritz for Hedo people and Hedo-good times.......Jake
P.S. - It was also great to make the re-acquaintance of some Hedo folks I had only met briefly in the past, like Richard and Tara and Rick and Laura.

That reminds me ... while entering the second day of the party we realized that all the men were either named John or Rick/Rich. Too bad Bif & Muffy couldn't make it. If we had called out "Bif" or "Jef" only ONE guy would have answered! ;D |

Sorry we had to miss what sounds like a Perfect Party!!!
I tried not to make Bif pay TOO big a price for us missing it... ;D
I know we will certainly move mountains (or fly over them) to make the next one...
Muffy (who is glad all had a great time even though she didn't get to be there)

We could have named the party *The John & Rick Show* Either John, STFU John, Jake, Richard, Rick, Rick, or Rick was doing something to make me laugh. Anytime you want to come visit. You know we're always up for a party. I'm so thankful you guys like my cooking. I don't know what I'd do if you hate the enchiladas and grilled leg of beast. Hugs~ Cher |

The last of the gang is in the air and flying back to the east coast. Well, not quite, but he should be by around midnight tonight. Then again, he's already calling this home now, so maybe his flight back East tonight will be the last, at least for a while. I can't believe I'm so late in chiming in with my kudos. Cher and Rick are the perfect party hosts and a better time couldn't have been had. Those that missed it, certainly missed a time that will never be repeated in exactly the same way again. Yeah, we'll do it again, but it's just like a Hedo trip...THIS WAS THE BEST ONE EVER!!! My hats off to Cher for her awesome cooking...that lady could keep an army fed (oh wait, she almost did). And Rick who walks around helping any way he can and picking up after all the pigs. My shirt off to the Sunlovers...Mr. P actually made a program of the weekend events with a fully recorded CD for all the participants to take home with them. Ms. P provided the coolest chocolate dipping roses, along with her wonderful chocolate fountain. My belt off to Jake and Hazel...Jake brought all of us who were there at the last HedoIIson party a CD full of pics from that party. Unfortunately, most aren't viewable here, even under a **NSFW** disclaimer. I'm sure none will be viewable from this party either. My pants off to STFU John, just cuz he's him ;D ;D And my shoes and socks off to the Nemos, Rick and Laura (who invented the original AZ Hedo parties) and to Richard and Tara for everything they added to the party....it certainly ROCKED MY CLOTHES OFF!!! Many, many kudos to those of you who had to travel and battle the worst winter storm in ages, but you all came thru like troopers, especially STFU who got bumped three days in a row, and finally snuck onto the plane on that 4th day. He wasn't going to get left out of a party. For those that missed it...we missed you (well, sorta...lol). If you are lucky enough to get an invite to the next party, I'd make it a high priority to be there or be square. We'll talk about you if you aren't diane |

It was you who: Came up with the idea Sent out invites Coordinated hotel arrangements Made reservations Brought munchies Shuttled friends to hotels I can cook and Rick can clean. YOU get the gang together and come up with the best ideas. Thank you, Diane for everything you have done. You ROCK! I love you sista  Cher |

And lets all remember to NOT take anything on tripadvisor.com TOO seriously. They said that the Palo Verde motel was a steaming pus-laden dump. And it was fine! Clean and cute and comfortable and pretty cheap. With a very nice free sit-down hot breakfast. Dumbasses!........Jake

Chiming in, last but not least, to give Kudos to all involved who made that weekend one that will never be replicated! I'm finally feeling well enough to sit in from of a PC for longer than a minute or so as I am just getting over a nasty bout of pneumonia. At least it waited until Cher and Rick dropped us off at the Tucson Airport before the fever kicked my ass. (And kick my ass it did!) I'm still not 100% but compared to the week we returned, there is a huge difference.
I don't think I can say anything more that hasn't already been said, except perhaps trudging through the snow, ice, hail, and asshole NYC taxi cab drivers telling me to "walk", in order to get to the terminal was worth every effort once we were able to bask nekkid at the oasis Hedo II-son provided.
Thanks again to our host and hostess, and to everyone there, as just like "Home", it was all about the people.

So glad to finally hear you are feeling better, Ms. Renee. You have had me worried (not to mention how worried Mr. P has been, even though he'll never admit it!!!). Now, don't get too excited and start doing too much, or you won't be able to come back for the next party.
I got a message today that another party is in the works, but I think it's a local one....unless of course, all you nuts want to venture out of your snow bound homes and head for some 90 degree weather in a couple of weekends.
It IS all about the people at HedoIIson!!!!! Count us in.....

It will be party time every weekend you come down.... Cher (who hopes she has company every weekend this summer) |
