I'd like to try and get an estimate of how many we are expecting this Sat. Please post here if you are coming and how many guests you are bringing.
Thanks everyone! Kim
College Station Fall RU-Saturday, Nov 10-FINAL HEAD COUNT
Me and Bill (if I can drag him in)
Me, DH, and the bunnies = 4 :-)
Me and DH.
Charlene
Just me... 1
I'll let Sandy chime in - we are riding together.
Me
Me, Smock, & Sas (cactus lady) will be there.
Are we going to breakfast @ the Golden Corral, this yr?
I haven't set anything up but if people want to meet there that would be fine. I am not sure whether I will have time that morning, mom will probably be coming to meet me at my house and then I may have to stop on campus quick before the roundup. I will know better later this week.
Smockette - we probably won't make it early enough for breakfast. I'm meeting Sandy in the Woodlands and we haven't set a meeting time, yet.
NP either way. Smock just told me to ask, so I did. He's a big breakfast person! lol
:~)
We've got 16 people then so far as long as Sandy chimes in to confirm, including my mom and I. Going to be a small roundup I guess. Anyone else?
We're bringing Bill's 10 yr. old too.
Hey everyone....totally forgot to mention door prizes. I have a few leftover from the north texas RU I will be bringing, and my mom will be bringing something as well. Could everyone please bring something for a door prize? Just something small, no need for expensive items. Even gently used items are fine. Sorry for the short notice, this exam I have today is has gotten all of my attention. I think my head is going to explode soon.
Also, does anyone know who had the name badges before? Do I need to make some up?
Thanks, Kim
I have the name badges. :-)
Oh good! One less thing to worry about. Is everyone ok with bringing a door prize?
Yes - I'll do that. I forgot that, too! Good luck on your exam, Kim!
Rats, squirrels and penguins... We can't come. :-( Charles just found out he needs to work. Smockette, can I bring you the name tags?
Sure, Marylyn! I remember how to do this fr b4. So sorry you won't be there! :~(
Well, Sas just called me & said do to family coming in UNEXPECTEDLY fr out of town, she isn't going to be able to make it either. Cactus lovers will have to come back in the Spring!
I'm coming if we don't do anything but sit around & talk plants!!!
:~)
Me too, Smockette!
So sorry you won't be with us Marylyn.
Well...I am sorry to hear that you won't be coming Marylyn, and Sas too. It seems we will be having a pretty small group.
Smockette....will you be bringing the sedums with you?
Kim - Would you post again the name of the park and its location? Thank you!
The name of the park is Hensel Park....it is on South College Ave. in College Station. The easiest way to find it is to follow 6 into College Station, exit University Ave and follow it towards Texas A&M University (west). Take University Ave all the way to campus (across Texas Ave) and then turn right onto College. The park will be about 1/4 mile down the road on your righthand side. It has a big sign out front.
Barbara and I will be there.
Just looking in b4 I go out & start loading my car. I have to go to Trinity fr CS so I have to take stuff for that stay also.
Guess Marylyn got busy & couldn't make it by the Farm. I have no name tags. Got any ideas? LMK
Be back in a little while.
Hmmm....it's a bit late for me to make any. I don't have a printer hooked up at home. I guess we'll just have to introduce ourselves the old fashioned way. Since it is such a small group it should be ok. Do you have my sedums?
I'm going outside now to put them in the car!
:~)
I was over on the other thread & saw the results of your summer! What a difference! Great job!
You mentioned not having the the castor bean next yr. Have you seen that thread about Castor Beans that Dancey started? Look half way down & see the ones I will have seeds for. Would that be better than the plain green one?
:~)

Thanks Smockette....you're the best!! I will bring some paper so we can at least do the door prizes, and if I have time in the morning I will try to stop by office depot if they're open and get some sticky labels for writing names on. I am also bringing an extension cord and a plug strip for electrics in case we need it.
Great Trois! Glad you and Barbara will be there.
Thanks for the directions again, Kim.
Smockette....that is a gorgeous castor bean. But the problem with mine was the grasshoppers making a meal out of it, and also the leaves turned brown and dropped, and the seedpods all over just don't fit my idea of a centerpiece plant for the front. I'd love some of those seeds though, I'll find another place for it.
I just went outside & got some plants together. There must be 6 pots of your sedums, Kim!
Ted brought my dad a big bucket of veggie seeds. If anyone is interested, I can bring them to share.
Also, a guy we know is clearing out his back yard of everything in it. He wants a green grass yard! Can you imagine? But I have, what Allyn thinks is Maiden grass, bare root. Anyone want some?
I just ran down the thread to get to the bottom & have decided I sure ain't bringing much but then I don't have a lot of room this trip. Can I still come anyway?
:~)
Lol....of course you can!
You bet, Smockette! My offerings don't look like much either... but the fun won't be all about the plants! What I'm bringing is pretty good stuff, though!
Ohhh noooo... We had company over last night and I totally forgot about the nametags!! I'm not usually quite such a flake.. I'm soooo sorry, Kim and Smockette!!!
Had a wonderful time today and the weather was perfect... Wish you all could have been there.....
We had a great time, and the weather was perfect.
trois and Barbara
What a friendly and generous bunch of folks! Great food, great plants and lots of information were shared. Thanks Trois for bringing your wonderful Satsumas to share! Thanks for organizing, Kim.
Dad and I had a great time. He was so tired that he slept for almost the rest of the day. Thanks to everyone for being there.
Anne
Thanks everyone for coming!! My parents and I had a great time as well.
:) Kim
So, how many people showed up?
maybe about 10 to 12 showed up..... I have never been to one with so little people showing up but, it was awesome.... We all had a wonderful time...... I am already looking forward to the one in the spring....
