You are too good, Mitch. Thanks for the help.

Looks like fun to me, I think the timing is good since people who want to go do something will have Wed. afternoon and all day after breakfast on Thurs. I think if we do anything it will be the Country Hall of Fame/Museum or maybe the zoo. Some time or another, Mitch needs to fit in the computer clinic she promised. I'm assuming that with all the campfire starters being made we will be sitting around a campfire lots! I sure do hope we have good weather! I know you can't cut down trees for campfire, but what about the ones we knock down backing in the sites?

I won't have time for the clinic - I'll be busy reminiscing with all my relatives you say reside at the Zoo!

The thought did hit me this evening while doing laundry...should I be collecting lint for anyone? Plenty of loads between now and then.....

I recommend a tour of the Hermitage. I was there many years ago ... on my (believe it or not!) honeymoon! When standing on the upstairs balcony notice that the trees were planted in the shape of a guitar. Rachel smoked cigars and played a guitar. Years ago Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper recorded a song called "Rachel's Guitar."

[sharon]

Been to the Hermitage, so doubt if I'll want to go again, but the country music hall of fame sounds good, and of course the bar hopping!!

I don't remember what in the world I was supposed to bring for the potluck and the breakfast????? HELP!! I need a little guidance here!

[VickieP]

Sharon, I think you said you were going to bring a fruit tray for the breakfast and I don't think you had mentioned what you were bringing for the pot luck Boo-Fay. So far I know that Carolyn is making a chicken enchilada soup (something like that), I'm making shrimp & crab gumbo and Mitch is making Dutch Oven Pizza Casserole, Cesar Salad and Garlic bread. That's provided I remembered all this correct, LOL. Anyway, that's the menu so far, yall can bring whatever you feel like from appetizers to deserts, I think Carolyn suggested, so we can MUNCH!

[sharon]

Thanks Vickie, I think I need a keeper, just to much going on right now! I can do some munchies and a desert for the boo-fay and of course the fruit for the breakfast. No problemo!

Mitch needs to get her fingers flying and find the nearest grocery store for us, tho. Where is she, she's been awfully quiet the last couple of days!

Well, we had her stuffed in the trunk but she was making too much noise, so then we......................................................

I'M HERE - I'M HERE...just a little under the weather combined with a little blue.
I'll be back, and then you'll be sorry!!!

Do any of you have heels like velcro (no, not heels as in not-so-nice, inconsiderate men, but the things at the end of your feet)????
If you've battled the velcro and won, what's you're secret? I guess this should be a separate thread. Has nothing to do with TN GTG, or camping for that matter...

[VickieP]

Never before have I had that picture in my mind of velcro heels,,,,,, till now

[mitch5252]

:lol: Never before have I had that picture in my mind of velcro heels,,,,,, till now

That's because you're still in your 40s...your day is coming, my dear...

[Cedar518]

No velcro here,.... just sandpaper.
