Darlene Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 If anyone would be interested in another MrsS get together... The last one we had was in 2008 here, at my home. It was a crazy time for me but gathering together with a bunch of our online friends who then became genuine heart friends in real life is something I'll never forget. Things have changed so much for me...I'm no longer newly moved, I'm much more organized, I have plenty of room, etc., and I would just love to get a group of us together to spend a weekend on my farm. I have cattle, horses, goats, pigs, chickens, bees, livestock guardian dogs, etc....we could can, shoot, and a variety of other things, so I just wanted to see if anyone might be interested in gathering again together in my home. We did it in the fall last time and that was an awesome time to do it, so I think the fall would work again...late September, early October would be great up here in the Appalacian mountains. It would be an awesome time to meet new friends as well as old friends, so if anyone would be interested, please share. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'm there!! Just let me know a final date please. John Link to comment
TurtleMama Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Oh, wow....wouldn't that just be the most awesome thing??? I'd adore going, but I don't think I'd be able to afford the airfare. I'd be there in spirit if not in body! Link to comment
snapshotmiki Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Sounds like a good use of my mad money! I will have to fly. Just need details! WOOHOOO! Link to comment
Granny Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'd love to come if schedule/money allows. Link to comment
SueC Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Darn - I just committed my last spare dollars to further study. So that wipes out my time and money for the next 2 years. I wish I could come though. Link to comment
Amishway Homesteaders Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 we also will have to miss it. :-( but like last time - it was so much fun to be able to 'see' what you all were doing that weekend after you posted the photos. And some of the 'chat' from the weekend was great. PLEASE plan to do that again. Link to comment
Ambergris Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I'd love to come, and have maybe a 50% chance of being able to come. We'll have someone here to feed the critters and gather the eggs. Link to comment
WormGuy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Hey Granny, if ya make it maybe we can do some apples again. John Link to comment
Cat Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 "Do apples"... shoot them, or cook them???? Anybody got a BIG, BIG bus for a road trip????? Link to comment
WormGuy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Darlene was gracious enough to let Granny and myself run the last of the apples she had cooked through the squeez-o. Someone's arm got tired & it wasn't mine. Cat, call Necie & ya'll can ride together. John Link to comment
WormGuy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Does that mean your coming Annarchy? John Link to comment
Amishway Homesteaders Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 you all ned to find a way of doing youtube feeds or something so those of us who can't be there can at least 'see' all the fun times going on. Well, and maybe learn a thing or two. LOL Link to comment
Annarchy Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Does that mean your coming Annarchy? I am hoping to this time. Link to comment
MomM Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 The last gathering was a blessing and sooooo much fun! If at all possible, DH and I will be there! He may even have the DVD of the first gathering done by then. lol Link to comment
Darlene Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 I am going to check out getting a friend to do more involved shooting classes...kind of the ones I did. I'd like to do some dairy classes...I'll have a couple of milking does and we can have some fun making some cheeses and other dairy products. I definitely want to do some canning things too. Maybe some meat smoking things also...I'll have a cow and a pig in the freezer by then. We could make some fresh bacon and sausage and maybe even spend one of the days solely living off what can be produced off a farm. Lots of things we can do, so we'll be talking about that more too. I redid the room above the garage, so that has a bed and a bathroom. I've painted 2/3 of the guest house so that should be done by fall and will have several sleeping areas. Anyway, if y'all have any ideas, let me know. Link to comment
MomM Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 DH is interested in making cheese, etc (me too). Can't have enough gun lessons. Always interested in more canning lessons. I could show how to do simple quilting. Our excitement is building! Link to comment
Crazy4Canning Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 Are you planning *this* year??? Or next??? Link to comment
Momo Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 How neat!!!!!! Maybe another chicken killing/prep demonstration..with fried chicken following. Link to comment
zophiel Posted April 19, 2010 Share Posted April 19, 2010 That would be totally awesome! I'd love to come, but absolutely cannot do so if it's in September. October is very do-able, however. (End of Federal Fiscal year, arg!) Link to comment
ANewMe Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Depending on what happens with our possible job and move....I'd love to come. I was just pea green with envy over missing the last one. I will certainly shoot hard to come to this one. Link to comment
chinajade97 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 How neat!!!!!! Maybe another chicken killing/prep demonstration..with fried chicken following. If you do stuff like this I want to come too! I really need to learn to do this correctly. I can read the to do's but nothing like seeing it done! Link to comment
WormGuy Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Here are the ones that met their fate last time. John Link to comment
