I'm going to be saving!!! I want to go so bad!!!

1month, 1 week & 1 day till summer camp!!

**thinking** Can I loose 80 lbs, restore the house, and get the yard perfect in 1 month 1 week and 1 day?

Wow, 80lbs?!

Can we have 'before' and 'after' pics please?

hmmm how do i get into the archives......

well heres me last year with Lynne



and here I am in early 2001. I'd like to at least get back to that size. Guess I gotta step away from the rum, huh?

Oh Wrennie! I love that second picture!! You are very cute!!
Now I can 'see' when you are teasing me etc.!!! Thanks for posting these.

Nice picture of Lynne too!!

You know where these are going?!! Thanks

??

Yep!! Right in there!!

I was soooo tired that day! In the second pic. Could have fallen asleep standing there!

1 month 4 days and counting!!!

I'm confused - is it starting during the middle of the week?

I was going to go up for the day on Saturday - am I going to be missing something??? Who is going there on Wednesday?

That ticker thing. I'm not sure how they figure one month. Especially since its really a "countdown to your baby" site I got it from. May be a 28 day month. (pregnancy, 9 months, 40 weeks??? Ya know?)
Bill put a day by day countdown up on top of the forum page with a countdown to his shindig too. { } It is a weekend, friday to sunday. Penny is probably going to get here thursday but more to shop shop shop than anything.
You can come up wednesday anyway. I'll be around.

okie dokie
Maybe triss could come then too.......

list keeps getting smaller. I may be alone at camp.

I am pretty flexible as to whether it's in July or later in August, since it's only an hour and a half drive from here! I'm anxious to find out which it will be - if in July, then Amy will probably come up with me for the day to meet Penny's daughters - if in August, she might be in Puerto Rico with her best friend and her family. It all depends on the date...

So summer camp, instead of being once a year, is going to be once..... a ..... MONTH!

I better buy a lot more jello!

Date???
Triss said not the 24th
My friend Harry has a big party bbq on the 11th, we could mingle into that, he owns a field/campground, we could have our own area/end of the field...or not
You know with it being summer depending on work schedules, kids camp etc, it doesnt neccesarily have to be on a weekend... just a thought. I'm closed, at the store that is, on wednesdays in the summer.

Its is times like this I wish I had my old house, the one with 2200 sq feet of pick a spot to sleep, a large flat back yard, pick a spot to pop a tent, a driveway you could fit 15 cars in easily, 3 bathrooms (2 with showers)... and my washer & dryer

I dont miss the taxes, cleaning and heating a house that big, neighbors a bit too close. It was a nic house tho'.

another place to shop. All handcrafted. Not too far a drive.

I'm Not big on shopping Wrennie But I love going to places like the above link!! To see personal creativity is awesome to me because no two items are exactly alike, made by hands and not machines in mass production.

Does anyone want to do a book trade at summer camp?
We could put a list of books we have and are willing to give up and or a list of books we are looking for. And specify if we really want hard cover, prefer paper back or dont mind either way.

We could also do a list like that for the plant exchange and recipes. That way people arent dragging a load of stuff/plants/books/seeds people arent interested in, and with the recipes if everyone wants desert recipes, no use in digging out the chili recipe.
What does everyone think????

t's getting so close now!!

Hmmm just jotting some ideas
* postcards, signed by our group to others who couldnt come
* journal or guest book ??
* hmmmmmmmm

Yay! I'm in for a postcard!

A guestbook sounds nice for you to have something to keep.

You could start a journal HERE for them all to say things in while they are there, for us to read, (and for me to copy and put into my 'files'!!)
Wrennie's Summer Camp Journal

Oh I like the online journal idea Shirley!

Yes, next year Tonya! start saving those pennies!

I want a postcard, I so hope to be in this next year!

After the train ride to bills this year, a train to summer camp will be a snap!
