[Sandra Oliver-Poore]

Hello Every one and Every pig

Well, here it is 3:45 am and I have only been able to sleep in fits and
starts.  I have a miserable cold and sinus headaches to go along with an
unusual bout of arthritis in my knee.  So I realize I didn't read today's
GPDD so I drag myself into the living room and HOLY Penny Giggles!!!  what a
huge noise as I open the door. ENORMOUS WHEEKING AND Furious SCURRYING
ABOUT.  GP's everywhere, turns out Wild Wooley Willey has called a meeting
of all the Penny Giggles to finish preparations for the upcoming flight to
Seattle and beach trip for the Laying of the last POO!  Willey is a very
organized piggy and its a good thing, I am a horrible procrastinator and
without Willey whee never would get it together.

He has thought of many details that just escape me.  He assigned every pig
to a committee.  Here's the breakdown.

WWWilley, Grand Poo-Bah and his new wife Penny Pig, Head Sow (He and Lilly
