Midsouth Fall RU At Jim's house, sign up and discussion
I plan on coming--God willing !
Sounds great!!! Plan to be there! Lord willing and the creek don't rise!
Oh gee, I forgot about the creek, Charlotte!!! Add that to mine too---LOL !
Me, me, me
Me me me me too!!!!!!!
Me. too, if my new grandbaby gets here in time! lol
I'll be there :)
I've not been keeping tabs on this. Yikes. I'll come here in the morning and update this. Looks like we might have a good turn out.
I'm a maybe, have to see what work is like, I'm part time at Hobby Lobby in Fayetteville and hoping to go full time here pretty soon.
I sure hope to be there! So many changes going on here I can't say anything for certain!
I answered on FB and said we will be there. Still planning on it if, as Sandra and Charlotte said, "the good Lord willing and the creek don't rise"!
Around here if the creek (or rather, the lake) makes it all the way up to our house, we will all be in trouble! LOL
I am planning to attend, at least that's the plan for now.....
Whew! I thought I was going to have to cancel until I came back here and checked on the date again. Last year it was in September and I couldn't remember for sure what the date is for this year. I have something on the 21st of September, and the 28th and 29th of September so I am really relieved that this is in October. Hooray!
P.S. I bought the door prize today. It is really cute and I may decide to keep it myself, LOL, or I can always pick my own prize like Terrye did at Kathy Ann's if nobody picks it before it is my turn. :D

I know what you mean Marilyn..... I had to text Jess the other day to see if that was OBU's homecoming and therefore Tiger Tunes..... thankfully, that is the next weekend!!
Wish I could attend, but alas, there is an MSU football game that day.
Ken Ramsey, MMG
Well, you all can stop wondering what my door prize is going to be (I know you were awake all night wondering about it---ROFL) I left it out on the carport and the wind blew it over during our rainstorm last night and broke it! :( I will probably buy another one but this time I will buy one for me and one for the door prize. :D
Sorry to hear about your storm Marilyn..... and the door prize. Hope you are able to find another since you liked it so well. I need to be on the look out for one whenever I get out of town. We just don't have anything here!
When I wrote my post above, I was not even aware that a huge oak tree had been uprooted and fallen across our driveway. I posted more pics on FB.
Here are a couple of pics:

Oh my! Sorry you lost such a majestic tree! That ought to take care of your need for firewood for the winter!
It definitely will, Genna! LOL
Glad the tree was not close to your house. It took me several months to get all the debris picked up from the damage we had this winter! Don't know what I would have done without a neighbor with a chainsaw.
Oh my! Well I just took a full time job with House of Webster so I don't know if I'm going to make it or not, I'll be too new to take any time off. If y'all don't know what House of Webster is, I'll just say there goes my diet!! They have a website, http://www.houseofwebster.com.
I think I could get into working there lol. Maybe ican still make it. It's still down the road a bit.
I think anybody that's lived in Arkansas for awhile knows about the House of Webster!! Good stuff! Glad you got a full time job Christine but hope you can work it out so you can make it to Jim's. Also good to hear from you! Hope life is treating you good!
Thank you! I didn't know what it was so before the interview I googled it and said Oh my!! Life is treating me good, I'm finally getting my life back together and things are looking up! I start with Webster on the 16th and I'm going to work at Hobby every other Saturday until November then I'll work every Saturday through the new year then I'll let it go. Joel got a job the same day I did, almost at the same time, and he starts in October, then we can start living again.
I'm thinking about taking that Saturday off from Hobby and driving out after work that Friday night, but it depends on Joel and what he wants to do and what his hours are, and more importantly when he starts working. I keep forgetting I'm 7 hours away instead of 3 1/2 and Joel actually cares about what I'm doing lol I'm not used to that!
I've never heard of
House of Webster before.
Me, either, Kathy Ann, and I lived in Arkansas from birth until I met Al. ;) (except for 15 months in Kansas City back in 1963-64.) It looks like they have a nice assortment of good things to eat!
Christine, so glad to know you found a job, and Joel did, too! Congratulations! Sure hope you can make it to the RU!

Can't believe you all haven't heard of House of Webster! They make jellies, jams, etc, etc. They do a big gift basket business. Have a catalog. I'm sure on line catalog now. It is also sold in lots of specialty stores. I used to get something as a gift at Christmas from the House of Webster almost every year. They've been in business for years - based in northwest AR I decided to look it up for you. Here is the link. Highly recommend their stuff!
http://www.houseofwebster.com/
Y'all must try something from House of Webster...granted I was a very poor college student the last time I had some of their goodies but I thought everything was fantastic!
Crissy, I am so happy for you! You deserve a great life! If you cannot make it to Jim's, I hope you will be able to come to the Christmas luncheon.
I remember seeing their items in a few shops but never realized they were Arkansas based. Happy for you Christine! Didn't know you had a new man in your life, but happy he has found a job as well and good that he cares what you are involved in.
Went to Magnet Cove this afternoon and met the plant manager and asst at the facility there and a couple of the other workers. They all seemed very nice, but it will be a LOT different from what i am used to. All their terminology is different because it is a different plant - and they do almost everything on computer while we still do a lot of paper transactions too. Although when I went to work there the only thing the former office manager did on the computer was play solitaire. LOL I have moved almost everything to computer - but somethings have had to remain paper or have a paper copy too. They are also getting a new asset management software starting in the new year which is why they have decided they need me there for the start of that.......... Just please keep praying. It will take a literal miracle for us to get our stuff done here and get our house sold that quickly!! I am really not expecting to accomplish that by january ....so trying to have a back up plan. Haven't managed to come up with that yet though.
I do have until November to decide whether or not I am taking the position or taking my chances where I am......... leaning heavily toward the move, but not 100% yet.
Had planned to definitely attend the RU - but since our weekends are pretty full trying to get things done, not sure we will have it all finished here by then. If we are close enough that we can stick a for sale sign out front, i will be there. If not, I will have to stay here and keep working at it!
I had looked it up online even before you posted that link, Charlotte. They have a very wide assortment of things. I might have to try some of their products.
Genna, you certainly have a lot on your plate right now! Sure hope everything works out for you and Leigh to your satisfaction.
Yes, I am up at 4 am, I can't sleep, good thing I don't work tomorrow!
Thank you everyone!! I'm going to be selling their products so let me get in there, I start on Monday, and find out how I'm going to be selling this and y'all can buy from me!!
A lot of people didn't know I had met someone, met him during the divorce so we were friends until the divorce was over, then I found out he was serious! He kept bringing up someone so I thought he had a girlfriend, turns out she is a long time family friend LOL!!! I wanted to move up to NW AR to be closer to my dad, he was moving up here in early spring so I just decided to stick with him, life is easier with someone and if your single you have to work two jobs to just pay the bills and I'm tired of that.
Genna that is a huge decision! How exciting for you!
Well I'm going to go back to bed and see if I can sleep this time. I hate it when this happens, I slept really good from 10pm to 3am, then woke up wide awake so decided to just get up. gggrrrrrr
Glad you found someone Christine. When I was in banking lots of banks gave House of Webster products as corporate gifts. I'm sure lots of other businesses give gifts. When I had my store I sold a lot of gift baskets with food products at Christmas. One of of my customers was an investment adviser. He would give me a list of clients and a dollar amount he wanted to spend and I would put together baskets and deliver them. Good luck in your new job! I'm sure you will do well!
Hi, everyone. Can't wait to see everyone!!
I was waiting to see what the doctors have lined up for Jim, but it appears that whatever we decide on will in interfere with the Round-up.
We've not potted alot, but if there's something you know we have and want let me know and I'll try to dig it if there's enough
Do you need to cancel, Kenny ?
NO the show goes on!!!
It will be mid-October now if he has anything done.
Kenny, if the yellow ajuga returned this year, I would really like some...I know there will be plenty of EEs, even if they are not potted, we will dig and carry ;o))
I thought you said it will interfere---I guess you are still under the influence of too much wedding!
LOL
Sandra, LOL I typed that but meant WANT. All is a go with the swap so BE HERE.
