North Central Texas Fall Roundup October 4th.
We will be there, Maggi and I. I worked in Arlington for years and lived in east Fort Worth, so this is my old stomping ground. I wished I had a dollar for every friesbee I had caught in that park.
It is a nice park, I go there every other day, I volunteer at the city greenhouse raising native plants for the Molly Hollar Wildscape.
DH and I are planning on attending. Looking forward to meeting everyone.
Glenna
We are looking forward to meeting you also.
Josephine.
I will be doing everything in my
power to be thee. Will be
draagging along at least one
other person akibg since I
need a chauffeur.
Josephine,There will be 2 in my party I will bring potato salad and rolls.
I am planning to be there. Possibly with wife and daughter, and maybe my parents.
Dennis
Stephanie + husband (Mark)
Not sure what I'll bring yet.
Will there be a grill?
Yes, but we prefer not to cook, we tried that once and it didn't work out well.
Josephine.
YAY!!!!
I will be there if the ticker holds out - and I would like to offer to help - anything I'm physically capable of doing, I am glad to do. :)
Elizabeth
City green house in Arlington? I am pretty new to this city, Miss Frostweed please tell me more about this.
Cheryl

Bring your work gloves and hand tools and wear comfortable work clothes. Ask for Josephine or Molly.
Hope to see you there.
i will be there--looking forward to it--still thinking of what i will make to bring along--maybe a big tray of mac and cheese--
I'll be there.
Carla
Great Carla, it will be good to see you again.
Josephine
About the grill, I had just
been thhinkin about
meking enchiladas and
letting them warm up on
the grill But if we dont
light up the grill I will rethink
what else to take..... go
with the flow ...
Bajablue, since we start at noon, you can just bring your hot dish, we usually eat first thing, after we get situated.
I'll be there
New to this, so newbie type questions coming up. ;)
How many people should I plan for the dishes to feed?
Is there electricity available for warming appliances?
Is anyone bringing coffee service? If not, is that something that would be welcome? (food service manager most of my adult life, so I tend to think up weird stuff ;)
We usually don't warm anything up, and usually a main dish to serve 15 is sufficient, we normally have 4 or 5 main dishes, also usually no coffee, soft drinks, water and tea take care of things without complications.
I will be putting up a list for the food items, and people can pick what they want to bring.
I hope that answers your question, we try to keep it easy.
Looking for ward to meeting you,
Josephine.
Okay, great - I'll sign up as soon as you post the list. Thanks for all the info! :)
Elizabeth
Won't be there, but just gotta say ,beautiful couple. D
Are you referring to the picture at the top of the thread? if so they are Banana18 and Bronchbuster, they are not married to each other, they were just having fun.
Josephine.
Where *has* TJ been?? I've missed seeing his posts with his little girl helping him in the garden.
He has been very busy, but he said he will be back and plans to come to the Roundup.
Yep , easy mistake to make , but both of them are nice looking people . What did I expect , they are DG's aren't they ? LOL . I lurk over here once in awhile , Wichita Falls was my birth home . digger
That goes to show you, Bronch can brighten any picture.
Also haven't heard from Lynea lately.
That is right, where are you Girl!!!
I am planning on coming again. I don't know how many will be coming with me. But I will be more prepared this time.
Looks like the group is growing! It will be fun to see everyone again.
Here is the RU pictures from April this year. The spot will be the same, it is a great setting. We had about 60 show up and had a wonderful time. So newbies....come on and join the fun!!
