We can't wait until next weekend - just hope the weather is as good as this weekend. Ready to get the drop out of the barn and cleaned up - hopefully the mice haven't moved in over the winter.

For Saturday morning we'll bring a big bowl of fresh fruit.

Saturday evening it will be smoked salmon and goat cheese/crackers.

We should get there early aft.

Dick and Kathy

Dick and Kathy it will be great to see you again.

Guess I better stop work on TD#2 and get TD#1 cleaned up.
Don’t know yet what we will be bringing to the potluck. Diane is in St. Louis visiting her father, who just had bypass surgery.
We should arrive early Friday afternoon.

looks like there's a chance of rain/thunder on friday, but clear on saturday & sunday. hopefully the weather treats us well.

see you all there... i'll probably arrive late friday afternoon. looks like i'll have my dog with me - i made a deal with my wife and my half of the transaction was bringing him with!

[Nathan N]

We hope Diane's father is doing well. We're trying to get everything gathered up and ready to go.

I've been watching the weather and hoping for the best. Friday may be wet but hopefully it will move through as quickly as they are saying. Saturday and Sunday will be a bit cloudy and cooler. Should be great

[Mrs Rayvillian]

I know that Mark and Em are coming ... she read the potluck menu and was going to plan something accordingly. I dont know what site they have but I know they have reservations ... and will be getting in late (about 9:00 pm) Friday night.

Trudy

Great news Trudy, haven't seen Mark and Em since Watkins Mill, I don't think....wait I may have seen them at one other...we'll work on them to come to Mill Creek, too!
Queenie Jeanne
PS We actually have someone interested in buying the Route 66....I am excited to have newbies getting it....hope they get here and can't resist.. .
I've been promised we won't be shunned while in the 18 ft until we can get our new teardrop.....,
Trudy, will bring the brennans and butterscotch schnapps for you for breakfast, wish Tony and Kathy were coming. Leaving here early Friday Morning....will be about 5 hrs I think. Nathan, Thanks you two for going around and finding this park for a gathering. Queenie Jeanne

not sure what to bring yet, probably Juice for breakfast and a dessert for pot luck, or maybe a surprise

Nathan
Do you need any more firewood? If you do, is out of state wood OK?
Diane can't make it back from St. Louis so I will be traveling solo to this one.

Nathan

Jim, I'd bring some. I shot what was left of mine last weekend and I don't have any to bring. I'll pay for some, if you like.

Jeff

[corncountry]

I'll bring some fire wood. I have a lot leftover from last winter. No charge Jeff.

Jim

[Nathan N]

Trudy - thanks. I figured with Em's kitchen setup they would join in and we would love it!

Jeanne - that's great news on the potential sale. We won't shun you - just don't shun us

Larry - whatever you think for chow.

Jim - Sorry to here that Diane won't make it. More firewood won't hurt. I should have enough firewood (since Kathy won't be there). Friday night may be rainy so we only might have one good night for fire. If you want you can bring some (after all Jeff IS coming), as far as I know Iowa is not in the banned list.

Jeff - bring your fire fork!

I'm gathering up stuff and trying to get her packed up.

[FireLion]

It'd be best to call the office and ask about the firewood.....I don't think that they allow out of state wood in the park....but, then again, everybody loves a roaring campfire......
