Chele, if you end up not going, which I hope doesn't happen, we can take the plants for you.

Yikes guys, I'm beginning to think that Earlier in May might be a better time. I hope everyone can get stuff cleared away so they can come. :) Michele, you really need to be there! Jazz! You need to be there too!
EVERYONE needs to be there!
Hope you can make it, Chele!
Bringing my sister-in-law and son too, can't wait, packing up glass stuff.
Rebecca
Rebecca your glass was a hit last Fall!
We're just figuring where to put it in the Garden...
Safety (for it) and Show-off! lol!
Ric
Rebecca, looking forward to meeting you and the ORV renowned glass! Since I missed last spring RU, and the fall one too, I have heard how pretty the objects you make are. Can't wait.
Dusty is sending you some violets. We pulled them when we pulled the hens and chicks. I potted them in styrofoam cups and they look like they are going to make it. Bertie is bringing violets too...I can't imagine so many violets...Did you say 350???
Hello! All
Well life has bitten me in the butt. Our car is on the fritz. It's not bad, but can't get it into the shop until next Monday. We have the Kids all week and Jeff needs the van to get to work and of course he has to work Sat. I guess I will be missing the RU. For people who I have set up trades with maybe we can work out some shipping of things. anyone who wanted things from me and still wants them Dmail me and we will see about shipping. Don't worry about what I was getting, just stuff people wanted from me.
I am really bummed about this. I so wanted to meet everyone in the flesh. Maybe I will get to see at least some of you when we take our "tours" this summer. I see also there is a fall RU?? Hopefully I can make it to that one at least. Take lots of pics! I at least want to see how much fun it was.
Love ya all
George
Oh, no George, this just can't be happening. And I had so counted on meeting you. Let's see if something can be worked out, maybe someone close by can give you a ride. Brain is churning, help help, somebody, let's get George to the RU.
I had mentioned on another thread that I can't make it, but forgot to post here.
Maybe for fall.
Boss notified me I am call that weekend.
Jules
Well, crap, George...does that mean Neal too, then? I have tons of stuff for the two of you....what to do, what to do....
How far away from the site are you?
Joyce
I do have a trip to Middletown I have to take here soon. How far are you from there? My dads family and some of my mothers family also live there and they are forcing me to visit. LOL. Maybe we could work out something then? I also could work on some shipping of things using flat rate boxes.
George
George, if you're coming to Middletucky ^_^ that is cool. The exits from my exit to the Middletown exit is 5 miles and I live 1 mile from the ramp to 75! For sure you have to visit and get your stuff. We don't need to be spending $$ on boxes. I just feel awful that you won't be able to come though, I just know you were going to be the life of the party!!!
I think Neal will still be able to come I hope. His roomie has a truck and I'm sure he can bring him or borrow it for the day. He prob will need a truck by the sound of his trade haul anyway!! LOL I hate it, but the car is not the only issue. I had forgot about the kids scheduled visit at the first of June and Jeff now is covering vacations at work so of course it had to be our sat of the RU they picked. I will miss meeting everyone, but will be there in spirit!!
George
When we built the new house we decided no lawn to mow. I am planting violets and sweet woodruff instead of grasss. Also planted wild geraniums and some wild ginger. I figure I've got about 15% of the space planted. More work than I thought but I am determined. And I love violets.
I just found some more. They've been out of the ground for awhile though, so I don't know if they will make it or not. I'm giving them a long cool drink now.
OH NO, George! Doggone it, I really want to meet you! :( The kids are welcome - you know that. I hope something works for you to make it. Can you borrow someone's wheels just for the day?
No rain predicted.
We have a shelter though.
It won't be a problem.
Ric
Bad news for Brian and I. We can't make it to the RU :( It was a really hard decision because I want to be there soooo bad! But, there are several reasons we just can't. The rain has kept me from digging plants for trades though I did have a few already dug, with thunderstorms and terribly hot/humid weather forcast for Fri and Sat I don't think tent living is a good idea. Also, I have pups with the runs that I'm going to have to take to the vet tomorrow. I won't leave sick pups :( Saving the $200. it was going to take us in gas doesn't hurt either. So, while I'll be there in spirit the body has to stay home this time. Will just have to hope I can make to whatever might be planned for the fall.
Would love to do mail trades for those I have trades worked out with.
Thanks,
Lana
Oh, WV, so sorry to hear of the problems, but know that I understand, so another year without meeting you. Poutie face on.
Several changes in attendees.....................anybody have a current list of who's coming?
Yeah, Bonnie, last year it was your pups that kept us from meeting! It really sucks. I have been so looking forward to this all year and REALLY needed the time away having fun with friends. Super bummed now. I've had the pouty face today, too. As of last night was still planning on being there. It was that fast of a change.
I think the list at the top is current now with the exception of Lana and Brian, George and Jules?
I will be coming, but not sure for how long. I'll probably have four kids with me. Carly has a softball game at 2pm (home game) and Craig is the assistant coach. Kristenne is going with them for moral support. :)
As I said earlier, everyone is welcome to stop here on their way back home. Fair warning- with me sick and trying to remodel, the house is a wreck, the gardens are full of weeds but the beer is cold and the pool is up and ready for swimmers. Most of the yard is really wet but I have room in the greenhouse and on the sofas. LOL I'll set aside my embarrassment to have more time with all of you.
Jazz isn't coming either... :o(
Crud! I knew that!
Melissa is apparently offline due to storms. Hopefully she can get back in and update.
Bob and I will be there also.
I *think* it's updated, but it sure does seem like I'm missing people.
The surprise DGer will be here tomorrow evening, and will be accompanying me to the RU Saturday. :)
And probably to do all my dropping off of kids before I can come to the RU. :)
Melissa, can't wait to meet the mystery guest on Saturday, should I do any extra primping? Or do I need to make sure I dress down to avoid outshining a female mystery guest? Inquiring minds, you know!!
Bonnie, I think you'll be just right, but we'll be able to tell who you are and who your DS is, because I think you will know said Mystery guest, and DS won't! :)
Oh, My Gosh, it is Roadrunner, or Darius!!
I'm sworn to secrecy.
I didn't say they were female did I?????????
Oh, no. Now I'm going to miss a mystery guest, too?! I'm soooo bummed!
Lana
Oh, you're killin' me....Who can it be?? Last mystery guest at a roundup I went to turned out to be MaryE (active on the farm life forum, especially).
((Lana)) Howie and I only live 3 hours from ya...We should have our own get-together before too long, eh?
