Sounds good Judy . didn't want you trying to drive in the dark . You should have plenty of time to make it home .
I had G S for awhile , years ago . Sweet babies !
Round Up 2012
Hey Judy, I'll bring the buns, and paper plates, you fix those,"Yum" baked beans.C-ya, Mike
Mike, I really don't mind bringing buns and paper plates, but if you'd rather, that's fine with me. I'll just bring the baked beans.
I will put Mike down for buns & paper goods. Thank you Mike.
Laurel, you seem like doing the Hoki-poki dance, you know the part of turning your self around and that is wat's all about. You are a better woman then I am, I would say, the kitchen is closed due to illness, I am sick of cooking. But that's just me. Have a real relaxed day. Etelka
The bed is open Kris . If Judy gets in a bind , I can double both of you up in twins , share room .One bed is VERY hard .
Mud,
Looks like Alexander City's not far from LaGrange and I-85. I'm just north of there. You are MORE than welcome to ride with me (or I with you if your car's in better shape than mine) if you can get here. I'm just 5 miles off I-85 at the McCollum-Sharpsburg Rd. exit ... one exit north of the main Newnan exit. And if we get home too late, you're more than welcome to spend the night ... if you're not allergic to cats. I have a Siamese.
Laurel,
No need to send directions. I just found your directions from JULY 2010! LOL
Y'all just don't know how excited I am about this. FINALLY!!!!
Okay, I just sent Maypop address and phone info. to all who need it. Let me know if I left anyone out.
Ken, from my first post on this thread..."We can have another white elephant swap if there are willing participants. There is no garden gift, new or used, that goes unappreciated by a fellow gardener and none to small to share. It's a good way to clean out your garden closet." The swap can be either a new or used garden related gift. The gift should be wrapped or bagged and is given a number when delivered. At some point numbers corresponding to the number of gifts are put into a bag and there is a drawing. We have seen old garden books and magazines, pots, tools, yard art, etc. end up in the swap. Many of the gifts would be considered under appreciated re-gifts. Thus the name "white elephant".
Participation is voluntary but you need at least two people.
white el·e·phant
Noun:
A possession that is useless or troublesome, esp. one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of.
Etelka, I was born doing the hoki poki. Loved your last picture post, BTW. :)
We stayed at Maypop to take care of chores 'til late yesterday though we needed to be in Atlanta early this morning. We pick up food from bakeries, grocery stores and restaurants and deliver to various charities around the city. We broke our personal record with 698 pounds of food that went to the local community assistance center. We have more pick ups tomorrow and Wednesday; then return to Maypop to have fun with all of you. Our house guest exited with us this morning but is returning here tonight so I still have company. Fortunately she has a business/social engagement tonight and I have a little break.
We have another new participant and guest added to our list...ChooChooGal.
Looks like we won't be making it- prior engagement. Sorry!
Chatters, was wondering why we haven't heard from you but understood that you were in doubt about making it from the beginning. Thus you were not on the list. Hopefully you can make it to a future RU.
Kris, we are empty nesters so don't leave any white elephant family behind.
I'll be super busy the next few days. Don't ask me anything complicated. lol
Sometimes I feel like I'm the only slave around here . Lots of clutter right now . Packing up things to transport to Tex and the more I put up , the more I drag out .
If I had parking , I could have a yard sale .
So how did the RU go? One of these years I'll get to go to one.
Pictures!
Aside from learning that I should NEVER apply for a traffic controller position, it was so much fun. Thanks for inviting me, y'all!
People have posted a few comments on the plant and white elephant swap thread. It was wonderful! Don't know who has pictures but Ken was making a RU "how to" video. Aside from the plant fun this is a crowd that really gets along. There was lots of laughter. Stories and conversations roamed far and wide. So sorry you guys missed it. Our kids loved meeting everyone. We probably would have been completely out of control if Terry wasn't here. :>)
I'm not sure it was a female voice I heard . Whatever it was , I should have been watching the mirrors closer . DUH !
Laurel:
More of condensed "what's a roundup about" Terry was classical. Should have it up Monday AM
If I could load these pictures I could post also . I'll try tomorrow .
Sally, you've been hearing voices for years.
I think I posted mine on the other thread. Had a wonderful time! Met so many great folks. Thanks so much to Ralph and Kris for the ride up. Those two are hilarious. Laurel and Steve are wonderful hosts. Maypop is a fairyland of flowers and veggies. Loved it all!
Those voices give me insight to people . They told me that you and Steve along with a host of other people I would meet on D G would be special to me the rest of my life and we would have lots of laughs together . They haven;t been wrong yet ! hugs
Terry , you and D H just have to be regulars in the future .
Sally, only if I vow to never, EVER help you back up again. Ever. Whew.
So I'm classical, huh? Is that anything like "vintage"?
More like collectable. :)
Sally, you're special too.
This is what I love about you people .
We can laugh .
Kris, I am so glad I got to know you and Ralph (even if I did keep calling you Brenda ... you look just like my preacher's wife, Brenda) and had a blast even though I did wear myself out. I think you and I are both such comedians that we are almost dangerous together. Ralph is a great straight man. LOL. Look forward to seeing you both again.
I just love all you people. :-)
Judy
Laurel made a hit again !!!
Well, thank you all. We did no more than provide the place and some food. All you good gardeners give yourself a pat on the back.
So where are the pics?
I haven't downloaded my camera yet. And I need to get out there and snap some pics of my gift plants in their new homes. By the weekend, I promise!
