westbrook Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 This is an opportunity for use here at Mrs. S to get together, meet, share, learn, laugh, sit on the porch and learn how to be a princess! Our spouses and children can come to. I hope to have my last chemo done, if not I need to schedule around this because I am coming! I will be flying because it would take me a week of non-stop driving to get there. I may have my dear Mother with me because she is not letting me out of her sight since my diagnosis. Moms! I hope my husband can come but sometimes it is hard to do if they have a contract that needs to be filled right away.. he rolls up his sleeves and jumps in. I so look forward to meeting everyone. This is a sleep over! LOL! (or several sleepovers! one long slumber party!.. we have lots to talk about and do!) Some of the fun things planned is pin the tail on the.. no wait.. wrong age group! learning to can, shooting the turtle in the pond! ROFL!, butchering and dressing out our dinner... chicken!, and if darlene finds a goat to butcher... we can do one of them too! (when it comes to butchering, poultry is all the same, some larger then others and goat is no different then deer or cattle or rabbit! If you want to learn to sew or use a serger.. we will do that to. Princess classes start early in the morning with coffee or tea or orange juice or water on the porch! gotta learn how to hold that pinky finger out! yes Trip this means you too! I have been to darlenes home and it is just breathtaking! She has lots of room for us if you don't mind sleeping on the floor.. I bought those swimming pool mattresses for $1.99 at wal-mart to blow up and sleep on. I will pick up a el cheap-o sleeping bag when I get there at wal-mart and leave it with darlene when I leave cause I am NOT hauling it back in a plane. This will be exciting to get to meet everyone! (and if darlene buys these does due to kid soon... she can show us how to milk! LOLOLOL!) Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Oh, I just wonder if I could make this happen...how cool would that be?? :cool1: We are just next door, and I know we'd learn so much. Plus ofcourse being able to pass out real hugs!! Link to comment

MountainMommy Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I really think it should be in Canada this year. I'm pretty sure it's my turn. Link to comment
westbrook Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 MM, think passports! maybe if we start getting them now.. we could actually have them in a couple of years! America has gotten stupid! however, if I drive a truck.. with the NAFTA agreement.. I don't need a passport! Link to comment
BiscuitMaker Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Well now we know the weekend, now we need more details-----. I will be in charge of Westie and the porch, I will hold the bell for her and make sure her tiara stays in place. So the rest of you will have to look after the goats, chickens and the garden. Now if there is any of going on, I will have to watch and make sure you do it right. If we could just get someone to fly in from Miami it would just be perfect------- Link to comment
