Invitation to Fall gathering in SW New Hampshire!

Awe, that bites!

We'll miss you, Karen!

I hope you all have a great time tomorrow. Please post pics for the rest of us.

Yes - plenty of them. Looks like you'll have great weather! Have fun.

I am bringing something for the raffle.

Someone should bring a Yankee cap for Bill.

LOL, not my 1st time meeting him!

save your money - it would be burnt.

I'm not a sports person so I wouldn't do it anyways. LOL

Sorry, Victor - Bill and Cindy are coming into Red Sox country here! LOL We'll miss you and those who can't make it! We'll post photos as soon as we can!

Have fun, everyone!

Karen

54 now going up to 71... I am so glad the weather is nice for this drive!!!... I can't wait!!!

Thank you Karen. Looks like the weather will be just ducky! Come on, y'all! LOL

What a beautiful day you have for the RU. This is great gardening weather, too.

Karen

OMG, Everyone! Hank and I had such a great time with all of you, and we want to thank you all so much for coming! Thank you also for the wonderful food and plants and raffle prizes that you brought. I guess we know what we'll be doing for the next couple of days! I may need to ask who brought some of the plants, because it is just impossible to have a plant from your gardens and not put your names on the tags! It just isn't done! LOL It never ceases to amaze me how many wonderful people and their life partners are a part of DG at these RUs. You were all so much fun, and we enjoyed the relaxing time and many, many laughs with each one of you. Thank you again....and I will post some pics once I've had a chance to upload some.

This shot is dear to my heart.....LOL Bill (wha) adorned Bud with an earring fit for a Truman Cow.

Pixie, Wha, John and Liza......

part of the gang in front of "Cuppatea"......more recently named "Allison's Apartment". LOL

The raffle........

Hank tending the fire for the corn and mulled cider..

a lot of chatting before lunch....

There was some good shopping at the Plant Swap!!

more relaxed chatting at the end of a great visit with good friends new and old!

Wha's lovely "better half", Cindy..... LOL, Sorry, Bill!

lunch.....love those pot-luck dishes!!!

Oh, Louise, so glad you all had a great time! Thanks for sharing the pics. Love the pic of Bill with the 'stone'!

You're like me, I like to put names and dates on the tags of my plants so I'll remember where I got them from or who gave them to me. I can remember just about every daylily in my garden and where it is, but as to when and from whom I bought it from or was given to me, that's another story.

Karen

oops - that last one was taken during the raffle, I think.

You were very missed, Karen!!

last one for tonight.....Boojum is a dog who likes a good fire on a cool, fall day!

Wow - looks like you guys had a great time and a perfect weather day! Nice to hear. Thanks for the pics, Louise. Look forward to seeing more. I'm sure you guys were perfect hosts!

I will upload my photos tomorrow... but I just wanted to thank Louise & Hank for a great day!!!... took me less than 4 1/2 hours to get home... no traffic there... and none back.. how great is that???.. it was so nice seeing everyone again!!!.. I am going to pass out now... talk to you in the morning

Allison how fast were you going???

we don't speak of those things Jen.... getting pics of the camera now

Allison was NOT driving over the speed limit - at all! That is my story and I am sticking to it! LOL!! (I hope you made it to the Christmas Tree Shop!) Thank you SO much for the ride and the plants and the conversation!

Louise and Hank - thank you for a wonderful early Fall afternoon! Your house is amazing! Hank's cider was perfect for the day - which, if you missed it, was absolutley stunning in New Hampshire yesterday!

Everyone - thank you for all the good food. I ate until I almost popped!

I even broke my "edible plants only " rule and tooks some swap plants home with me. LOL!

Peace and Plenty,
(which kind of sums up yesterday)

Memory

that's right!!!.... I skipped the christmas tree shop... too tired!!... thanks for letting me babble on during the ride... it keeps me awake!!!

the cider was great!!!

Thank you all for those lovely comments! It was just great!

Nice photos, Liza!! I love seeing what each of you saw through your photos!

Wow, Allison! That is quite a slideshow! I'd say you really captured the RU beautifully. I see it was a late night for lots of people! We are so touched that so many came so far!

thanks!!... can't wait to do it again
