ma & pa steel Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Yeah I can come.... I have never been able to make one of these events, but this year I have been able to schedule it to be off from work. DH and I work in the same shop and cannot take time off together so it will be just me. Quote Link to comment
Momo Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 DH is now out collecting cans on the side of the road to get up some gas money! Hopefully we'll make it this year. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Oh, Momo! That would be so wonderful if y'all could come!!!!!!! It's been a rough day and I just got online and read this thread and was thrilled to see you'll be coming. P.S. I'm taking your 'maybe' as a "YES!!!!" lolol Ma and Pa Steele, what a special surprise to see that you'll be coming too!!!!! I can't wait to finally meet you in person! You've been a member here for many, many years and are very special to so many of us. Mac, you tell mama that we're expecting her to show up! She is absolutely precious and I would love to see her again. This time you have to stay longer! Quote Link to comment

CrabGrassAcres Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If anybody from around here wants to take DD and meself along, I'll be more than happy to help with expenses. Looks like I'll have the does all dried off by then and if so, my neighbors can keep an eye on things and feed the crowd for me. I live in Milam county, Texas. Unfortunately I do not drive and don't do planes either. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Oh wow CGA! That would be SO awesome if you and DD came! ~praying praying praying~ Quote Link to comment
Jori Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Stephanie - I've seen the youtube video. You have a deep southern accent this is coming from the girl whose friends in Indianapolis would tease for having a heavy Chicago accent (especially the word traffic). Your southern accent is charming and lovely! Quote Link to comment
Stephanie Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Hahaha! Well, with Darlene having eye witnesses and the videos for evidence.... I might as well confess! Southern accent it is! It's going to be a wonderful reunion! Can't wait! Quote Link to comment

Dear Lord, Please open our dear Stephanie's blind eyes that she might see the extremely souuuuuuuuuuuuuthern accent she is blessed with... lolol ((((stephanie)))) It is funny but I have always "heard" Stephanie's posts in a heavy Southern drawl in my head. Since I've never met her in person, I don't know why that is... Quote Link to comment
CrabGrassAcres Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Oh wow CGA! That would be SO awesome if you and DD came! ~praying praying praying~ Thanks! It would sure be fun! Quote Link to comment
Gunplumber Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Contingent on the finances . . . (So don't save up all your heavy lifting) Quote Link to comment
ma & pa steel Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 CGA sent you a PM... I need a navigator. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Contingent on the finances . . . (So don't save up all your heavy lifting) Too late. I already have a list started. lol Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 Well, I just did a head count of those that plan to be here and so far we have about 23 people coming. The more the merrier! I just saw that Christy said she is going to try to come...how special would that be!!!! Quote Link to comment
CrabGrassAcres Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 That would be real special, but she best pack a big bag to come since she may get "kidnapped" back to Texas or someplace! LOL Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 lol@cga. Yeah, or Georgia or TN or AL. You know how us southerners are. We have our own way of doing things. lolol Head count just went up to 26! wooooooooooohoooooooooooo! Quote Link to comment
lovinit Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Darlene how many men are coming? DH would like to come but is afraid it will be all women, and he will sit around feeling silly. My question is how could any man feel silly surrounded by all of us beauatiful women? Quote Link to comment
Stephanie Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Wow! This promises to be the gathering of ALL GATHERINGS!! And it will be here before you know it! I'll plan to bring supplies for basic crochet and a new technique, Tunesian. I'll bring what's needed for rag rugs too and also some knitting needles for any interested. Plus, some raw wool and carders and my drop spindle. So, we will definitely have opportunity for some back to the basics Fiber Arts. I'm no expert but can definitely get you started if you are interested. I've got my Dutch oven too - so we can do another dump cake in the camp fire coals!! Josiah will want to bring his guitar if it will fit. Will MrMomM be bringing the Irish drum again? Quote Link to comment
Gunplumber Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 those interested in firearms training, please advise. As I'm travelling by air, I am limited by what I can bring, but I can ship stuff if necessary. Quote Link to comment
lovinit Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 YAHOO!!!!! We have booked a flight to Atlanta. DH is coming, so please add two more to the head count. Quote Link to comment
Darlene Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Awesome lovinit!!!!! There are plenty of men that will be here. MomM's hubby is coming, my oldest son, Gunplumber and wormguy will be here and I'm sure my wacky neighbor that moved here from New York will be here too. He's an absolute hoot! One lady is bringing her dad along so that will be awesome too. Tell your hubby not to worry...I'm sure there will be times when you won't see him much because he'll be glued to the shooting table lol. Gunplumber, I think it goes without saying that you will be innundated with newbies, out of practice-ers and up to date'ers lol. Everyone loves the shooting part of our get together and you certainly have a gift of teaching and explaining that is very helpful to everyone. Whoda thunk that a brat like you could have such a special gift with teaching? lolol *darlene ducks* Quote Link to comment
Stephanie Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 May seem kinda boring, but, I truly want to learn more about cleaning and proper storage on the firearms. I read so many conflicting reports of the 'right' way to do it. We always enjoy target practice! I'm shopping for some 7.69x51 ammo. If I can locate it I'd like to try the Izzy (Ishapore?) my sister gave me. I haven't even shot it yet. I'll help with whatever needs to be brought. The proper grip and stance and etc. I really want some refreshers on the basics! Thanks Mark! Quote Link to comment
