Oh what a smile I had this morning... it is ever so good to be with friends guess we started the GTG way early but very nice... Alice is there a site you can dry camp for tonight? I know we all would help you set up... if we all pitch in it gets done fast... I know Liz and Soos helped me it went fast... now if we can find a person that can look at this silly water heater... if not will take it to the RV repair when we leave here... have heated water before on the stove can do it again... But as I speak the gas is now hopefully heating the water... to be continued...
If you have never went to a GTG you are missing so very much...

Thanks for the pictures, love all the dogs having their own GTG. Roe looks a little bored but maybe it is past his bedtime.

Woo Hoo! What a great start, but sure would have liked a picture of the sinkhole. Maybe next time. Sure didn't take Remi long to find a lap, he's such a sweetie! Sure do miss you guys...Like Lorna, maybe next year. Kathleen, looks like a nice pull thru spot for you, just beautiful. Soos, you're gonna get addicted to these GTG's just like the rest of us are! Aw, c'mon Liz, we can't blame Sparkle for everything! I can see her crashing the forum so she didn't have to listen to all the boo-hooing, but the weather? Nope, don't believe it for a minute, she liked the warm weather and a good GTG to much to try and ruin it.

Keep on having fun ladies.....

I thought when she would talk about "The Recipe" she was talking about moonshine.

Martha

Well she came from up north remember, it's called recipe. In the south they call it moonshine or just 'shine' cause if'in it's good it makes your eyes shine and glow in the dark! LOL

Also sometimes referred to as 'squeezin's.

Oh! Kelly and I came up with $.42 for the bail fund after scrounging around the truck. Thought I had another penny in my shower kit? But couldn't find it!

OMG how we envy all of you who are already at the GTG and those yet to arrive!!!!

Looks to be such great fun! Wish I were there. Perhaps one day.....
Loved the pics and the captions. That Roe has stolen my heart. So layed back..
Let the good times roll!!

Saturday:
Except for a coolish breeze, it's a beautiful day here. This morning Soos and I hiked the swamp trail to the river.

So enjoying the pre-GTG,thanks for sharing the pics. Now remember ladies, SIP the "recipe". Ladies SIP, men guzzle. Guzzling will mean a trip for The Sultan. How many jail birds can The Sultan's truck hold? Just askin. Linda

If they're all passed out he can just toss them in the bed of the truck! Much easier with the clean up of after effects, too!

[Rufflesgurl]

Thanks for sharing your pix!! You gals will have a great time! The pups too!

Great pics, Liz. Hey, was that a gator in the water in the pic with the single white ibis?
