FL GTG, January 2011

[rvgrammy1953]

The bail fund is up to $67.42.....and the truck will hold 4 Non-puking riders in the cab, and 5 to 6 passed out ones or 8 semi-sitting ones in the bed of the truck. (will make sure he takes the 5th wheel hitch out before he leaves.... )

Am patiently waiting for the next report from Florida....

Wow if tonight is any sign we are in for a fantastic GTG... never laughed so much in all of my life... we have some great story tellers... we all sat around outside gabbing and of course gabbing again... the sun was warm and felt so good... the breeze was quite cool... then we all got hungry and where there are RV women there is food... so we put together our vittles and had a feast over at Liz's house... she is such a trouper letting us stay warm in her nice house so we could be together and eat and laugh and laugh some more... (still no card games what is wrong with us???)... yes we have pictures will hope Sarah finds time to help me tomorrow... night everyone...

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

No gator there...floating plant life. We'll likely see gators when we kayak...tentatively Wed., pending weather.

Saturday evening:
Nan is here! Sneaked her in a day early...she'll have to move to her site tomorrow.


And so of course, the stories just got rowdier.




Wimped out to my house again when the temps started to drop. Enjoyed a shared impromptu pot luck.

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!

You just hose them down with water and put them out in the sun to dry!

As I have to be up early for work tomorrow, I'm headed to bed, but wanted to share my new prayer with you...and I just know God loves a good chuckle.....

Before I lay me down to sleep,

I pray, the Lord, the Women Rvers, out of jail, He'll keep.

If they should stray before I wake,

Please, Lord, a safe and quick trip, the Sultan will take.

Please keep them warm in campers all,

And hope the ATM is working at the local mall.

To bail them, real quick, from the klink.

My prayer is long and said with Love.

I'll stop for now before the Lord's sense of Humor wains,

Along with His laugh and His wink.


Good night, all you wild and crazy sisters...

[Bethers]

Oh, Lori, you've outdone yourself

[Liz]

Thanks Lori, we needed that prayer. I'll let Soos tell the story about us almost having to tie her down at my house to keep her from walking down to the neighborhood drug dealer's house and ask for a dime bag...whatever that is, just sayin'.

Looks like everyone is having a great time - thank goodness Liz has a warm house, but she might need a bigger one before this GTG is over!

Hey, what time is breakfast on Tuesday? Sure don't want to miss any food!

Geezz, it was 39 when I woke up this morning in Central Florida!

Great photos - love seeing everyone and their doggies.

[Gentleladybear]

Don't believe all these pictures. I am the sweet, innocent. quiet. retiring type. If you don't believe that ask me.

Great to be with all the sistas. Great fun, great laughs, good to be here.

[rvgrammy1953]

Oh, Geez....... ....And not everyone is there yet!! .....Okay, the bail donations account is open for anyone to add to it, cause looks like we're going to need alot more cash for this crew....

I'm getting ready for work....hope ya'll can stay out of trouble today....will check back this afternoon...

Have fun gals!!

I have breakfast tentatively set for 9 a.m. Tuesday, leftover/potluck lunch tentatively at 1 p.m., both at Cabin #1. Those times are certainly open to negotiations...just wanted to give everyone planning to come a ballpark time. I'm a breakfast eater, so 7 a.m. would be good for me, but not for everybody.

I'm currently sitting in a parking lot in Ocala.. not far from the state park. Matter of fact, right in front of a NO OVERNIGHT PARKING sign. If they want rv'ers and truckers to see those signs, they should make them LOTS bigger.

Its 28 degrees but on the upward swing. In a few hours, I'll see if the park rangers will let me check in early. However, once checked in.. I'm going back out.. but shall be back in the park later tonight.... when its really darn cold again.

I have decided my generator uses WAY too much propane and should only be run once a month for maintenance. Need to get some hamsters and a big wheel.

Good news... knock on wood.. the arthritis flare is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH better. I can not believe the improvement! Guess the propane sucking rv has good karma. Actually, its all of YOU that are making me well. THANK YOU.
