Hey Liz so glad to see you have made it back south safely. Sure wish Jim and I were gonna be able to make it, but things are clipping right along. We are living in our camper at the camp. We sold our home in Baton Rouge, put furniture in storage and moved up to the camp. We sold the building we have been staying in to my brother, and tore down anoither building, and now are waiting for the dirt work and concrete to be done so they can move in our brand new double wide trailer. Then call and have the furniture delivered to us up here. Hopefully, we can meet at another gtg in the future. Keep us in your prayers, as we will keep all of you.

I'm in my driveway, totally exhausted from tossing stuff out of the rv's cabinets. I have lugged everything into the rv but haven't arranged any of it. Just one big pile. I figure once I get on the road, everything will roll to a spot it likes.

Rv mechanic is to come to the driveway tomorrow and do some last minute stuff. Its been so long since I have been inside this rv, I need to relearn where everything is. I know where all the canned and dried foods are..in the trash. They had been sitting in the rv for over six months and most likely getting cooked by the heat.

i'm so excited about this trip and seeing your pics Liz makes me feel I am already there.

Oh.. if you don't see a lot of me in the evenings, its normal. I seem to get tired easily.

See everyone Wednesday!

Alice

I made it about 8p.m. Don't what # I am in & forgot which one was assigned to me

[Liz]

Glad you made it and hope you settled in somewhere. I believe your site was #118 which will be next to me tomorrow. I hijacked Sharon's site tonight since mine was taken. I'll look for you in the morning.

[sharon]

I'm in North Little Rock, should be in around 1 today if I don't get lost.....

Ok, I'll try to get out of your site by then...hijacked it last night, lol.

No worries, as slow as I'm moving this morning, it'll probably be a little later anyway. Still need to fuel and then fight the traffic thru Little Rock. Better get moving, tho, or I'll still be here this time tomorrow!

Let the fun begin, sure wish we could have made it this year. I notice Liz has gotten the pics started off right, with CAROLYN in there!!

[sharon]

Made it in about 2, all set up....gosh it's beautiful here! Tamara got here and we've all had a nice chat. Liz and Carolyn busy taking pictures, so I'm sure there will be some posted before long. Tired, so hitting the rack early tonite in prep for tomorrow. Good choice Mitch and Vickie!! (altho since I came in from the North, not gonna tell you what I called you on the road in)

[Yakn1]

Glad to see you are already having a great time!
Sharon, what did you call Vickie on the way in ?

Just remember while you're having fun, I'll be at Disney with the gkids, oh fun oh fun

[sharon]

We played rescue tonite, Carolyn and Liz went to find Carol and I went to get BJ. Everyone's in and settled. This place is really dark!!!! We're still missing Nancy (Travelingnana) and Alice will be here Wed. Hope Nancy can find us but she has my phone number if she gets lost.

Ain't tellin' what I called Mitch and Vickie, but that road was narrow and sunk down in places...and did I mention that it was narrow???????

SS you're gonna be stuck at Disneyland with gk's instead of partying with us, Vickie, but we do what we have to do!!

Ok, now I'm really going to bed! Really!

[VickieP]

I know you have nothing but nice things to call us (cough, cough)!
I must have missed something, who's Tamara?
