Just putting out feelers to see if anyone is interested in doing this again. Last year had to miss due to visit to Mum's.
In the past we've had fun, lunch, white elephant, show and tell.........
I supply the lasagna and everyone else brings the other stuff, salad, dessert, drinks.
I'm in Dublin, Ohio right off I270.

Gosh, I would like to make it this year. Have had conflicts the last few years, as I visit DD#2 and we visit and go to Frankenmuth. So will depend on when you schedule.

Mary

Waiting to hear from others - I was thinking Oct
25th (Thursday)

It's good for me! Count me in along with my friend MK, who some of you met in June.
It's always been a good time at your place britgal and I appreciate you hosting again.
If it works out for you to go, fishingwidow, we could meet up as before and go together.

Waving my hand!!!!

Rondi

Waving my hand, too.

I'm in! It's so much fun, wouldn't miss it!

Wow - DH just suggested that we all wear Halloween costumes - told him, I'm already in costume!! scary enough.
That's 7 of us already!

me!!! pick me!!! maybe I can get cheryl to come down from Akron too!!!

Darn. I'll be traveling through the following week, can't come that week cause of a meeting commitment.

One of these years I'll get to visit you and Pat again and meet the other Ohio ladies. Have fun.

Count me in. Can't wait to see you all again.

Guess I better start packing my white elephant since it is bbbiiiggg!

Eight so far!

Boy, I don't look on the board for a few days and a party's being planned without me!!!

You know I wouldn't miss it for the world! You name it, I'll bring it!!! Fresly baked bread, of course, and what else?

Pat

That date of October 25 looks pretty good to me. And I would love to hook up with you Malou and ride together.

Glad to be able to do this again, ladies. Will probably bring some kind of desert.

Mary

fishingwidow, we'll talk in Branson about plans.

britgal, MK will bring a salad and I will bring toffee... to share and for everyone! If you need me to bring anything else let me know!

Marylou

Malou and FishingWidow - let's talk to Aliquilts and NTQuilter in Branson and see if they'll come, too. Both live in my neck of the woods and Ali was at Pat's lunch during the quilt show this year.

We'll do that mcp... I remember meeting Ali at Pat's. We all know they'll have fun at britgal's!

That sounds good, MP and Malou. Will see y ou there on Wens nite for dinner.

Mary

Malou - was just thinking of making a "vignette" on my fireplace ha ha!!

so far we have:
Malou
MK
AppleBetty
Fishingwidow
Suprmom
me
gardenpat
McPatches
TerryOh
Rondiquilts

We'll have to explain that at the get-together! LOL! I just told Don what you said and he said to tell you "good for you... you probably need one!"

And Malou- Dave isn't sure whether he would like to give up his "rooms" for Don's "vignettes"!!!

Lol!

Can't wait to see everyone again!

pat

I've been off the board too and missed all the chatter...Oct 25 should work for me too, though it is work day but I came up the last time.. I'll figure something out. And, since I'm packing/moving again, maybe I'll stumble upon a white elephant???

bumping this back to page 1

so glad everyone is interested - should be a fun time - get those white elephants ready!!

TTT

I want to come this year. My days off are Thursday/Friday. Great. Malou pm me tooo...!!

Don't want this to go to Page 2 and get lost!
Besides the homemade bread, does anyone want me to bring my rocky road cheesecake?

Pat

I sure enjoyed it when you had it in June, Pat! I bet no one will say "No" to bringing it!!

Yes Pat!
Safe travels to you that are going to Branson! Can't wait to hear all about it in October!
Rondi

Then the cheesecake will be coming too!

Malou, take lots of photos of the Branson retreat so that the rest of us can drool over them!!!

Okay, I interested. Oct 25 is good for me, too. Give me an idea about how long this lunch lasts. And exactly what is a White Elephant? I'm about 4 hours away, so the trip is doable.

Michelle

So, so far we have
Malou
MK
AppleBetty
Fishingwidow
Suprmom
me
gardenpat
McPatches
TerryOh
Rondiquilts
Aliquilts
Gracie/Ohio
As far as the white elephant. Maybe one of the other ladies could explain it better than me, just wrap up something you want to give away (a re-gift, something sewing related maybe)
The lunch goes on several hours, starting around 11-11:30 and goes till about 2-3PM, you can see we are very flexible - basically as long as we like!! We also have a shown and tell, bring something you're working on to show off!
Jennifer

just moving this up.
Please let me know in the next few weeks what you will be bringing. Here's a list. I'll make the lasagna as usual. We'll need:
Lasagna - me
Bread - Gardenpat
Rocky Road Cheesecake - Gardenpat
Dessert -
Salad -
Salad -
Drinks (coke, pepsi or whatever)
Paper plates - heavy weight and light weight
Paper Cups, napkins
anything else?
keep me posted if your schedule changes and I'll re-do our list, or if your not on it and need to be added, let me know.
It's going to be cosy - but we'll be OK.
Jen

I will bring a dessert as well, not sure what yet.

I just have to get through my youngest son's wedding on Sept 29, in Alabama, then I can think about this!
