Had a great time catching up and meeting new faces to names & other halves at Slick Stock last week (has it been a week already?) Thanks for the laughs and all the talks, I counted 17 in our chick photo

Don't forget the cookout at our house! Hopefully we'll have an updated Crew Cab to show everyone by then. Was rain involved again this year? I must've blocked it out. I always enjoy watching for what crazy motorized contraption/scooter/wagon will ride by next. Things you wouldn't expect to find--bir...

I'd also like to add my thanks for moving it back a week so the kids wouldn't have to miss school again. Our principal actually called me Thursday while we were driving up, despite both teachers knowing ahead of time

Who did y'all talk to? I called just now and Ian (if I heard his name right) said the system was telling him it was too far in advance to book and an error message. He also said we couldn't book for prior to Wed 8/15. I'm feeling a de-ja-vu from the last time-LOL!

We rolled in a little after 10pm last night, literally had just gotten a text from Max for the Houston crew having arrived home too. Long trip but SO worth it. Kids did great, took turns riding in Lucille. Have school today so I have to wrench myself from checking out all the posts & pics for a ...

We started packing today, Chris found me a huge box for the travel pillows & it holds about HALF of 'em-LOL! Still sewing about 10more and need to do another count. Found Alan's valve cover racer (had to unearth JT's room). Had to reclaim my SS '08 tshirt that Chris has been wearing since he wen...

I'M bringing a jacket & sweater. If you plan to stay up late out in the parking lot it does feel chilly. I remember Sat night from SS '08 I was cold. The pool was free- zing !! Will see how the indoor does this time. It was almost nice out today, I mowed the lawn clear up to 9pm with the Deere ...

Ja, danke.

Here's one, I'm inbetween projects at the moment. Or should I say, I have about 3 in the works, just not attending to them yet. Finishing travel pillows for Slick Stock goodie bags. Will be doing a count tonight to see how many to go.

Wine sounds good right about now, I think we've all just been busy elsewhere. There is a Truck variety out of California, Red truck for red wine, White truck for white, even pink.

I used to live there, grew up in El Cajon! Went back for a visit 2yrs ago. Have to space it out, but always nice to be back by the beach...Nice to show the kids around and relive memories.

As we near Slick Stock some of you may be facing almost entire weekends without seeing your other half (restroom/drink refill breaks and meals), doing MORE yardwork than normal and taking the kids on outings by yourself. Just know that you can vent here, we all know how it is. My husband has a day o...

Chris plans to drive up in the Crew Cab, the 2 kids (ages 8 and 5) and I plan on driving up Friday. Would be a couple days sooner, but school starts that week and Mattie is just starting Kindergarten-can't miss it. **Alternate plan is to leave Wed after school and have the kids miss 2 days. Depends ...

I've been waiting on the floors to get done (thresholds, we need thresholds) but we have priorities :bangin: We're BOTH Scout leaders now...We did some hardwood in the dining room when it was on sale and a couple of tile hallways. I know..."we." Hey, I watched the kids :popcorn: Now if onl...

I thought JT may build his own this time, bet he would LOVE it! Mattie too of course, whatever bubba does she wants to do too.

Most of the time I let mine do his thang in the shop on his own. It's fun to go out there and watch certain milestone things happen, see how he and his friends (whoever is over) figure it out. They have all sorts of projects running so you never know! I mainly lend a hand with something small, holdi...

[albumimg]7800[/albumimg] Dixie-White German Shepherd, almost 4yrs Lost for almost 2weeks a couple Augusts ago, found just before SS3 (some of you heard her story). A family dog, takes care of "her" kids. [albumimg]7799[/albumimg] And Bandit, peanut-brain lap dog :) Foot warmer... [albumim...

MUSIC, there's enough kind for any of my moods

Jenny

Can we maybe have a kids tent or 2, where they can color or do a craft, have some kids music playing or maybe some games or boardgames for the older ones? We can bring at least 1 EZ UP and will of course have several kids' cd's. Those that bring any Nintendo DS or Gameboys, etc. can gather and watch...

This feels like a milestone to see the cab back on, all the work that has gone into it. Chris is in full steam ahead mode to get 'er done in time for SS. Makes me crazy some days listening to him talk so much about it-LOL! Nah, just jealous (FRYING PAN). If I could only get that kind of attention-GE...
