A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Road Trip!!!

This is so exciting. Can't wait to see you.

pictures, pictures, do not forget pictures....

Oohhhhhh!!! Its gettin' close! I can hardly wait!

13 days!

10 days. although, our itenerary has changed again, just slightly. i'll call everyone to update. but tk, i don't have your new phone number, so you'll have to send it to me. scott and i are starting to get excited

I'm getting excited--to see all of the pictures--and I am not even on the itinerary. But that is ok--I will live vicariously thru Jiffy's pictures.

I'll get to go to all of the same places Jiffy does, but I will not have to leave my house.

We're getting closer!!! I'm getting excited!!!! It's going to be a GREAT day!!!

i'm sooooo excited!

Everytime Jiffy comes here we only take one picture, maybe two--of the 2 of us---this time we'll have more...at least that way I can throw out the pictures where we look weird.

yes, well, we'll have scott again. that will help~ he can take pictures!

Jiffy, or Loz looking weird,???...............surely not !!!

b ujt pictures, yes,.....lots, please

LOL!! I keep telling Maddie that Jiffy is coming to play with her. She just looks at me like I'm crazy.

Jiffy, you guys have to stay long enough for Stephen to see you guys. He gets home at about 3:30. You should stay for dinner...we can order a pizza or stromboli or something. ...and you have to stay long enough to see the kids in their costumes....our trick or treating is that evening.

Jenn too bad we aren't meeting as well! That would've been fun, maybe one of these days!

For sure!!! Perhaps the next time we go down to the time share we will get together.

Jiffy, don't come through Charlotte on the 29th or 30th. I'll be in a workshop in Greensboro.

Gee ladies...do I really have to go to PA to visit my family? I can only handle them in small doses... three days and I'm done! I'm gonna have more fun visiting Loz and Jenn (cant wait to see the munchkins)! The reunion should be fun, I hadn't been to one of those since I graduated from high school... it will be nice to see all the gray haired folks and fat rolls. Should I mention the "I'm a PhD", "look how many cars and houses I have".... I'd like to take Jiffy to Lancaster county and go visit the Amish Country... we shall see what transpires. Stay tuned for the adventures of Ozzie and Harriet coming to a station near you!

Scott, you could just cut out the parents and just stay here longer. Just kidding........

We have a lot of Amish and Mennonites around here....it's always weird passing a horse and buggy.

Looking forward to the trip, next week at this time you should be here in my spare bedroom. I think.....I keep getting the days mixed up.

LOL!!! Scott, take her to Shady Maple if you go to Lancaster! MMMmmmm!!! Have you been there in the last few years? They built a new one...like 6 times larger than the old one or something. It is ginormous!!!! If you go, lemme know!! If it falls on a day that Stephen has off we may just need to take a road trip!! I LOVE Shady Maple!

ok, road trip is almost real. i've been sorting and packing. i talked to tk. we have our meeting set up. now i just need to talk to sheri (i tried to call) and i'll be on go!

I'm all excited for you! You don't have to work on Monday do you?

i don't. scott does. that is why we aren't already on the road!

but, in the end, that is better anyway. we'll have more time to "putter"

And you get an extra full day to pack and putter w/o help.

yes, and that is helpful in itself! :thumbuP:

although, some help moving some things would be nice

hey Jiff, try to give me a call the day you all will be coming...OK? I just would like to have a ball park idea of timing and such. ...like, if we go shopping at that one store I mentioned to you on the phone, I just need to know if the kids are going to be sleepy and cranky or whatever. And are you guys OK with just hanging around the house and "chillaxin'" (that is "chilling" and "relaxing" in one word) during nap time?? Usually Stephen gets home just as nap time is over and we eat dinner like 5 or 6....we can go to the OIP or somewhere else. OOOHHhhhhh!!!! I am sooooooo excited!!! I cannot wait to get pictures of you all with the kids! I am about to burst and I have an entire week before I get to see you! LOZ! I'm soo jealous you get to have Jiffy before me!!

of course i'll call! scott and i are fine with hanging out during the kids' naps. not a deal at all. we so remember those days (and with matthew, they never ended :wink: )

and we are planning on hanging out for dinner, so that will be good. scott and i would definitely like to see stephen too! however our day works is going to be fine, i know it is see you soon

is the 28th ok? what time do you get off work? call me?

Can't wait! Can't wait!! Can't wait!!! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!

Me either, me either, me either!

2 days to sheri's, 3 to tk's, 3 to loz's, 8 to jenn's. i can't wait

jenn, are you in a hurry for me to get there? we could always come sleep on your couch and you'd have us an extra day

you'd fit!! We have an extra l-o-n-g couch!! Or you could sleep on the blow up mattress in Maddie's room...she wouldn't mind!

don't tease us or you'll have overnight guests... lets see how monday goes! (remember, i'll have mom, i think )

She isn't that bad!!

Tomorrow happens to be the day that Stephen's mom can take the kids for the day, so I'm painting the living room. You will be the first to see it!!!

no, i didn't mean it that way!! it's just if she is with us, we have to consider her schedule too!

i can't wait to see the living room!

I see, so now she is a burden! My goodness!!! JUST KIDDING!!!!! See you in a week.....have a SAFE trip!

I have all the stuff to make Lasagna! Now I just have to dig out that Mr. Coffee Iced Tea Maker so I can get some made for Jiffy.

I was watching the weather and some truly cold stuff is heading your way. All over your travel areas. Pack coats and drive safely. Everyone stay warm, hmmmm?

We had snow yesterday! Yep we really did. It was just a dusting and melted within a couple of hours but I am not ready for snow yet!!

Snow is a very bad word I hate the white stuff,
I am like you not ready for it either but we were
very chilly this am 32 in temp's

Supposed to get snow showers mixed in our rain tomorrow! I LOVE it!

Same here Jenn, tonight and tomorrow---can't say I love it though.

It feels like we never really even had a fall....it was hot and then cold.
