Dang! I wished I'd have known a few days sooner! It has to set for at least ten days and I don't have any made, now. Sorry Smockette!
ARLINGTON TX RU *April 5th * FINAL HEAD COUNT THREAD
Hey, Linda, I have some that I can bring. Copied TJ's recipe.
Sheila, I think Chuck is coming, he had the weekends mixed up. I think he and TJ will get along too ... as they both are clowns! lol
TJ I dont understand it with this juice, why is everybody getting it from you ... when you tell me I can make mine myself? Is this really for the plants or do you have some sort of distillery back in them woods? LOL
Linda are you and Smock still spending the night? My place is a mess ... I got Ferns and Hosta and newspapers all over the place! It look like a cyclone came thru here. If yall come early enough, maybe Smock will help me plant my personal stuff and patch my irrigation tube? :)
Oh I am looking foreward to Sunday! I need to get out of this house! I have been bagging, packing and mailing for a month now ... enough already!
TJ, could it sit @ my house for the rest of the 10 days?
Sylvia, we are driving up Sat morning.
Sylvia, I don't have access to the main ingredients! Kitty litter is not a good substitute! ROFLOL
Sylvia...is Chuck a member or your guest?
bump.... 5 days to go!
Chuck is new member... He and his wife both are my guest.
Unfortunately I will not be there. I was informed yesterday that I have to work on Sunday. The 5th was supposed to be the first day of my much needed vacation but my boss decided that I had to work. I really wanted to come. I have had a lot of drama & stress in my life lately so I haven't been on for a while. My mother just had cancer removed from her nose & reconstructive surgery so I have been nursing her all week. I was so looking forward to meeting all of you and trading plants. but, since most of my seedlings died while I was taking care of my mom, I wouldn't have had anything to trade anyway so I guess it's for the best. You all have a great time and maybe I can make it in the fall.
Shelly
Confirmed
Carole (Arlington)
Sorry you can't get there Shelly. I hope you get some down time on your vacation. Do try to make it in the fall!
Carole...See you Sunday afternoon! I will add you on the list later today.
Sheila
Oh Shelly, I am so sorry about your mom being sick and your loosing your plants ans then having to work, sometimes life can be pretty tough.
I hope things will be better come fall and we will get to meet you.
Take care
Josephine.
Marcia and I will be there as confirmed in the earlier list. Not much to trade though. Pretty much replanted everything that was divided. I'll have to wait and see if anything pops up.
Chuck
Great Chuck, we look forward to meeting you both!!
Chuck, yall are coming! Great!
Sheila, I dont know what thread I am suppose to post what dish I am suppose to bring. So I will put it here for the time being. lol Sorry I am just so darn busy. :)
Darn it! I still fogot. I am doing the Pulled Pork and Cole slaw thing again ... maybe some Long Island Tea.

Sylvia---what kind of Long Island Tea? LOL
Thank you for your well wishes. My mother is doing better. I talked to by boss and she let me take Sunday off so I may still be there. If my mom is up to it, I will bring her with me. I guess I will just have to stay a maybe for now. If I do make it, I will try to bring my frog figurines to trade for plants. My DH made me a flowerbed that I will need to fill and I lost all my plants while taking care of mom so I definately need some. If anyone is interested in trading, let me know. I will definately try to be there.
Great Shelly....we will keep our fingers crossed for you.
Bring on the frogs.....Got any for outside?
I think they are mostly for inside. I will be going through them tomorrow to see what I have. I used to collect them but have moved on to Fairies so I am going to try to find good homes for what I have left.
I will be bringing a few extra plants as will a lot of people, I am sure you can do some trading for them.
Shelly, like I told someone in another post, you will NOT leave empty handed!! We won't let you! People will be begging you to take plants so they don't have to cart them back home. LOL
I'm counting on some of those leftovers......... I'll bring some of what little I have to trade, or like you said, just give away excess seeds, etc!!!!
Bringing an appetizer type chili for chips or whatever. Made a huge crock of it for a party last night.
Chuck
I will add that over on the food thread Chuck, thanks.
Seeds are good, and gardeners will always take bags of potting soil in trade too. We're easy to please, and if you don't have anything....we will still pass the leftovers if we don't want to haul them home.
All of us have been blessed somewhere along the way by another gardener, and most of us don't hesitate to share when we have an opportunity.
I'll be there - just me.
Shelly, I hope for your mother's quick recovery, and I hope you can get some r&r on your vacation.
debnes + 4
I remembered at the last RU there was a little wagon that was very handy. If anyone has one to use that would be great.
I cant wait to see everyone and there are a few whom I am not going to remember that I talked to you. Please remember I am a senior citizen and forget things ... so dont assume anything! lol
Not you Deb! ;)
Between a rock and a hard place. We have been very, very involved these last 10 days since MIL broke her ankle in two places with bone outside of the skin. yuk. She is 91 and is doing very well. However, I don't have anything ready for trade (AGAIN). So, in that respect would not expect to take anything home. (I haven't listed anything on the trade thread). Would need to bring something I didn't prepare. I love each and every one of you.
DG is what makes life worth going on some days. Sooo, may I come with my arms open to love you and once again, nothing to share.
Need you ask???? Come gets some hugs and smiles my sweet friend; and we will be better for it, as will you and Mike. Glad you decided to come!
{{{ Christi }}} Hey, hon, you've already shared a ton with me. Just come!
Loaded and ready see everyone there!!!

DH is not coming this time, but I am bringing all 3 kidos, and maybe my grandson, and maybe his mom, my oldest daughter. Still not sure about that yet.
:-Deb
Backing out at the last minute. I will miss all of you.
Christi
Christi I am sorry you didn't make it, I am saving your plants for later.
Take care,
Josephine.
Lots of things going on here. I did not expect any plants, Jo. I do have a Texas mug and a couple of newspaper articles for you. Maybe bring to your garden sometime soon.
