Camp Dates ....

stepwitch's picture

Ok, here it is the date for the first annual camp out is August 8-10. I need to know who is planning for sure, who is looking into airfare. Please keep in mind, that all yall will be responsible for is getting here, everything else is on the house. Smile I'm off work 8/7-8/11, so if your getting to or from airport on these dates, there is no problems. If you want to rent a car, that's fine, but I'll be happy to make arrangements to get yall where you need to be.

Does anyone have one of these aircards that they were talking about. I have a laptop with wireless connection, but don't have access to web at the cabin. Oh, I don't have a webcam either. I got a whole lot of nothing huh?! Just kidding. Can you buy one of these aircards like phone cards or is it one of those contract deals. Any info helpful. It would be cool to webcast the trip so all can enjoy.

Please post if your coming or still working on it. You may PM me with personal questions/directions/schedules, ect. If you are on the fence of making the decision - just go for it!!!!!!! I can't believe that I am putting myself out there like this, it is so not my style, but ya know, it is my life and maybe I'm naieve, but I feel as if yall are my friends, and my friends are trust worthy. And by the way, my husband is the popo. I'm not scared, maybe a little nervous because it is only a cabin - the people will make the trip memorable.

I will be driving to my MILs Thur, spend the night there, hook up with SB for the rest of the ride.

Anyone else coming through southern IN?

I cannot WAIT for this weekend.

One thing I want to throw out is a discussion on organizing a retreat for SM's. I will explain there.

But the basic idea is a weekend at a conference type place, where we do workshops and have a guest speaker or two. So if it's ok with SW, I would like to devote a little time to bouncing ideas around about that.

We will be bringing some wine too!

What should those of us driving bring along. Wine SB and I can do.

Any other suggestions?

There's a full kitchen yes?

How about we each bring ingredients to create a feast. That's what the women in my family did when I had the turning 40 sleepover here.

It was nice for everyone to contribute a dish. I would need to bring something that travels well- OOOOOH. I have a small chocolate melting pot, and can bring chocolate to melt, along with some pretzels.

Yummmmmy!

Lets not get too detailed. Yes, full kitchen. I have a charcoal grill, and I love to grill, therefore I suggest we just use the kiss method. If all agrees, this could be menu: hamburgers/hotdogs/steaks/red potatoes&onions/smores big breakfeasts - pancakes/eggs/bacon and lots of coffee/ lunches sandwichs or whatever. I plan to provide all the food, that would be something that yall just wont have to worry about. Anyway, if you want to bring something, that is ok too. anything melting in a pot is good with me. And also keep in mind that there is a walmart/grocery store not 15min away. So, there you go....we got it. I'm so excited, so far there will be 5. We have plenty more space lets get more on board !!

A whole weekend of estrogen, wine, chocolate, eating, drinking, making merry!

I am SOOOOOOOOO READY! Bella, you never told me of your connections in the wine industry. Too bad Ohio passed a stupid and immediately challenged law about mailing wine. Regardless, you are my new BFF. (Sorry to whoever I gave that title to recently. Anne? Cru? CG? SB? Kathleen? Oh WAIT!

I think it was someone who had a BEACH HOUSE! Hmmm....

Wine or Beach House...

Can I have two BFF's?

Bella, what kind of wine can we get? How much? I'll chip in if you let me know the cost, but we'll have to settle up at the cabin. How does one going about becoming a wine rep? Now THAT sounds like a vocation I'd be interested in! Should be an interesting conversation starter once I'm pursuing my MA in Religion!

we can get ANY kind of wine we want! we have a huge inventory and its all fabulous wines mostly from boutique vineyards so they are all really special. the company has very high quality standards, so its only wines that are rated 90 and above on the equivalent of the spectator scale, YET they way they work directly w the vineyrads (no middlemen--no wholesalers, distributors, retailers) we can bring them to u at 30-55% off retail. PLUS i get a 20% discount on personal orders!

so...anyone who is going shud PM me for a link to my website where u can scroll the inventory. then everyone can email me w what they want. i can order a few cases and we can all split the cost!

let me know if this works ladies! we can also bring our own favs!

zen...they are working really hard to keep ohio a state that allows shipping of liquor...i'll let u know as i hear more.

oh I see how you are the first person to come around with a nice bottle of wine AND a discount and poor little SarahB is left in the cold--I guess I will just sit in the back of the car on the way down and drink my sorrows away.

The move just really set up back. Stupid move...did I mention that. I have decided that instead of saying I live in podunkville...it is now stupidville!! Smile
