Here I am 3rd time trying to have a round up here at my place. Everytime I try to have one..some hurricane comes along and messes me up. Rita and Ike made a mess of things here. So now I am back on track of having my place cleaned up,yard cleared of tree limbs , painted the house(Thanks Kenboy for a great job you did),new roof and whatever else is needed to be done etc..
I am hoping to set a weekend date in October 2010 soon as I check into few things here at work like vacation time to do this..LOL..
Why am I doing this for a weekend?? Am I nuts?..NO..weekend will let all of us enjoy time to visit,time to swap,time to sleep,and time to EAT!!
What about everybody pitching in $$ for themselves and I have someone cook the food here all in one place so we can have a variety of foods here to eat? Instead of see who brings what to eat and have enough to go around.
Oh,kids are welcome here!! Have 5 acres to roam and play on and a swing..LOL..Maybe somebody can bring a inflated pool for swimming since I have a water well. More ideas from anybody will be welcome to keep kids busy.
There are 2 great hotels about 15 mins from me if you are traveling a long ways. I am between Houston and Beaumont,Texas off Highway 90 which is easy to get to.
If you have animals,you can bring them too providing that YOU keep them on leaches or in a pen. I have 2 dogs-Mini pin and Great Pryenees.I do have ?? chickens,pair of peacocks, and 1- pot belly piggy named Daisymae. So animals do not bother me here if you wish to bring yours.
I know I will need to depend on all gardening friends to help me out here since my hubby will not be here. If you wish to help out, Dmail me..You know who you are...LOL..!!!!
Weekend TXRound up-October 2010
Getting on my calendar early is the best way to get me there! lol
What MM on I-10 do you live closest to? Already thinking of setting up nite places.
So, count my crooked nose!
I'm only about 45 minutes away I will be there, work schedule permiting.
MM?-not sure what that means? I -10 is about 30 to 45 mins away from me coming from these 2 roads that come to Hwy 90 that are very close to me. Highway 61 to Devers and Highway 563 connects to FM 770 to Raywood. Excuse me, I found 3 hotels are located right off Hwy 90 in Liberty about 15 mins to and from my house. I am not sure what the rates are either..
1.Scottish Inn and Suites 2501 Hwy 90 936-334-1620
2. Luxury Inns & Suites 3564 Hwy 90 936-336-8300
3 .Residents Suites 2626 Hwy 90 936-336-5341
I have room for 2 or 3 self contained RV's if anybody want to park here..I just need to know so I can make sure we have room for you.
Plenty of room to pitch tents..LOL...so D-mail if you have any questions..
The weekend is like come in Friday morning and leave on Sunday...lol.
MM is mile marker. If you are going to use I-10 you would probably to exit 812 and take a left on Hwy 61 and go about 14 miles to Hwy 90.
I was just trying to get Devers in my head by I-10 MM. Guess I spent too much time in the Keys, where everything is figured by mile markers. I lived @ MM104. lol
from Houston - - Best way is go old Hwy 90 thru Liberty-Dayton onto Devers...it's not very far east from Liberty

LOL..nope not me..My house sits between Highway 90 and railroad tracks. So the kids will get a kick out of the trains going by.....
Smockette You could also stay with me as I am not but maybe 30 min away if that much. We would have a blast like always.
I'll keep this in mind... I've never been to a round up, and this one would be convienently located. I may not be able to stay all weekend, but it sounds fun! The weekend of Oct 23 is not good for me-- have a family reunion, then. Hope that's not the weekend you're thinking of... I'll watch for more info.

I am thinking towards the second or third weekend depending on my food cooking gang and my work vacation as I drive a school bus. You can come for few hours or stay one day or the whole weekend.
When I asked where Devers was in reference to I-10, I was thinking of Sandy's. She is north of MM800! So, great mines are still thinking on the same level!!!
:~)
I have been asked this question alot.. Do I have to bring plants? No..You can bring anything garden related or plants to swap with others OR don't bring anything.. it is up to you what you wish to do.
Heya, Moodene!! I just came across this thread. I'll keep this in mind, though, I'll be out of town for the last two weekends of October. Hope you are doing well!
Hi, Carter!! I am fine and been busy working in my yard...How are you doing??? I am thinking either first or second week of October. I will know for sure by July 1st since that is when the new school year calendar starts up again.
Hay Carter, should I bring one of our incubators to hum you to sleep? We just went to see Joan yesterday and she is doing good. She can't work outside as much as she wants but her spirits are good. It will be good to see all the old gang and some new ones also.
Okay. I am having the Round up on October 8th weekend. My son will be joining us since he will be on leave.Yahoo!!!
Ken! So good to hear from you... oh, I remember that night - the hum of incubator gave me probably the best night sleep I've ever had!! I think of you guys often, and I'm really glad to hear Joan is in good spirits. Such an amazingly wonderful woman!!
Awesome, yall count me in!!!! I live in Baytown off of 146 so it wont take long at all to get there. Also plan on bringing the dog since me and the wife just got a Great Pyrenese as well! :)
Cool!! bring on your doggy..lol..
We want pictures of this GP. Carter do you have a JRT again? I know the Greyhound you had at your TXRU was sweet but a bit shy, so I am guessing you will not be bringing her. We will be bringing our latest drop off dog, Poppy.
kenboy what a sweet dog.
Poppy is a sweet doggy while I was there..lol..
Moodene....we have set the date for the N TX RU for Oct 10th and I see your RU is that weekend also....exactly what date and time? I plan to add the info to the sticky at the top of the Texas forum also if that is ok.
October 8-10 weekend ..the major day is October 9th.
Thanks Moodene. I didn't realize you had one for three days! LOL!
Ok if I put it on the sticky?
Sure..more info will be passed along....will have a big Bonfire and giant Scrabble Game board on a slab..instead of messing with tiny tiles you cant see..lol.. Outdoor shower to get wet under to cool off..etc...
Darn it!!!
Wanted to make both but they are just too far apart!
Maybe next yr, NTRU!!!
:~(

I will be there moodene with bells on.... :o)
LOL..the more the merrier..I hope..My house won't be open to the public except the bathrooms. My hubby isn't a people person and doesn't like to be around a big group of people..so I have to respect his wishes...but I will have couple huge fans blowing. I also will have waterhoses in case anybody has any water things to hook up to play water games or something..lol..my kids just likes sitting under the water sprinkler digging in the dirt pile..lol...talk about MUDDY!!..but they had fun...
As soon as Sept gets close..then I will start countin down on stuff to do..just too hot right now to do anything...
I might be able to make it. Will have to check the calendar and ask my sister. We have a 23 m old girl and a yorkiepoo dog. I have seeds, plants and ceramic stuff for the garden I can bring. Let me know if you are interested in pics of my stuff.
I will start a Trade page soon for anyone who wants to doing some trading..lol..
I was asked this question...Can we bring our own BOOZE? YES! but there is a catch....as long you are responsible for your actions...LOL...or I will tie you to a tree trunk in my backyard and let my dogs can lick your face all nite!!!...LOLOLOL....Babebera has lotsa slobbery sugars..Ask Kenboy and Maggi..lol...
Because of being partially disabled, I think it would be best that we stay in a hotel. Can you give me hotel info. Needs to be dog friendly if possible.
We travel with our dogs and most all of the La Quinta's are pet friendly and with $0 deposit. Since you are coming from the west, there is two in Baytown east of Houston.

The third post down will tell you about the hotels that are 15 mins down the road from me. I am not sure about dog friendly.
Motel 6 are also pet friendly w/no charge.
Good to know!
I should have a sandpile for kids to play in so they need to bring their stuff to play with..LOL...
oh kaylynn will love that...
