as far as I know right now, just me.
Brian and I.
Me!!! and one guest. (Bertie) ^_^
Robyn and I .... maybe a guest..
Ric
I don't think we're going to be able to make it. Gas prices are just crazy. We'll have to play it by ear, guys.
Kimberley!
Yes, gas prices are crazy, but, a day spent with friends?
Lots of good food?
Scenic views??
Free plants??

I sound like a visa commercial, I know. Bring the Jetta, less than $30 in gas for all that?
Neal, and I.
The van has a "cold', but hope to fix that. It's just spark plugs, but the whole dash has to come out and the cheapest so far is around 175.00. I think I'm going to at least give it a try myself. Worse I could do is help get the panel off. The van isn't pretty, but is an extended, all wheel drive with seats that can be removed. I know what Neal and I are bringing and will need the room. The gas will be rough to put in also, but We just have to come! 30 gal. tank and gets about 20-25 miles to a gal.

I'm working on Howie about it. We've really buckled down and are paying off debt. My scrapbooking crops with friends is the one splurge lately. Remember that nice shed we had built last May? The Lowe's bill's no-interest, no-payments for 12 months thing ends this month, so we have to finish paying it off so we don't get socked with a bunch of interest. With the wreck and me being off work for so long, we got behind in our payments on the shed's bill. I really do want to come, though! I'll work on him. :)
Dave and I are planning to come. I think we will have the gkids that week, so they will have to come with us...but they don't eat....lol! At least, not much.
I am planning on coming, though may not stay for the entire event.
I could not find the time it starts anywhere???
I am trying to talk my Mother into coming with me, but I don't think she will.
Jules
Jules we'll be there before 10 AM.....
I don't know how to edit Melissa's post to add my name. I plan to come with Moonlit Maggie.
Mona
Mona, Melissa will add your name to her list now that she knows you're coming. Can't wait to meet you!
Lana
You're added Mona, I'm looking forward to meeting you too.
Juli!! I am so glad you're going to make it down!! Tell mom we don't bite!
Yeah, Howie said we could make it. :) We just can't spend the night this time, he said. I'll need to clear out the trunk so we have plenty of room for plants. LOL I need to start roaming the yard with a trade list in mind.
Yikes - 10 a.m. is mighty early for a second shift worker a long drive away! I have hellebores for joycet and taynors - need to deliver them. And, Melissa and Bonnie have a couple tomato seedlings for me from some seeds I sent to them! So I will definitely be there!!
Jules, you are welcome to stop off here for a nap if you can deal with kids, animals and a messy house. ;O)
We are still a "maybe" on attending and I'm not sure how many of us.
It may just be me and 4-5 of the kids.
yay Gardenwife, I'm glad you guys are going to make it! I was going to ask you Juli, how many plants you wanted? :)
chele, we'll take as many as we can get. :)
Jules, I don't think we normally eat anything until at least 12 or later. Ric and Robyn are so good about going early and setting up. I always want to try to beat them, but I've never been able to yet. ;)
I just booked my trip to CA, and I'll be back on the 5th....Count me in!
I will be there with my granddaughter,son and mabe one more...
Whoo Hooo partytime!! ^_^
DH Bob and I are looking forward to meeting old and new friends.
Esther
I hope to come.
GREAT Esther!
Judy, Robyn and I were just talking about your Bamboos the other day.
Ric
I am coming.. dragging the DH and squirt along
Depends on where you want to stay Sue. Close to where the RU will be there are a Comfort Inn, a Holiday Inn, a Red Roof and Motel 6 (don't recommend motel 6) LOL
I have to move myself to the "maybe" list. :(
Melissa!! That will not do at all!! Turn that frown upside down and get yourself there. I have looked so forward to actually meeting you all. Maybe is not a word i want to hear(shaking finger sternly at you)
Geo
Stay away from the Red Roof also it's aTruck Stop.
The Hampton Inn Cincinnati-Eastgate is 15 minutes away from the RU.
10 minutes away from me.
5 from Judy.
Ric
If that doesn't work out, I have a 3-compartment tent available.
