you guys are getting this down to a science...........
Bullwinkle and the boys - a return trip?
ok so I will need a directions and a phone number you can dmail me with the info it will save lots of time this way
come on over to Perth, love to have you visit!
Phurballs created a new thread - c'mon over!!
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1017639/
I've been over there and will go back, but this thread should be kept open for logistical questions about the movement of the boys from one place to another.
too bad phurballs is having probs getting pics from the camera.......hope that's corrected soon. I'm looking forward to pics, although the story sounds good lol
I'm out of town on the Aug. long weekend but other than that, ready to go! I'd better go out and finish planting the annuals sitting in flats on my balcony ... :-D Yeesh! So late this year.
Are we continuing this thread (as per Violann's suggestion in the other thread)?
~Susan~
what is going on with the boys
Check out this thread:
http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1017639/
Basically, the boys have gone missing for over a month, presumed permanently.
This thread will be on-going, taking the "new" boys west.
Read the thread listed above, then come back here for further updates.
~Susan~
I think we are best to leave the discussion of what to do with them on THIS thread because the other thread was supposed to be about their visit to Mississauga. This is the one where we have the list of people to whom they are supposed to go.
From several posts above, the following Ontario people are still on the list except that some of them have withdrawn -
cybercrone - Toronto, ON - withdrawn unless they surface almost immediately.
ceedub - Whitby, Ontario
scicciarella - Metcalfe, ON
ViolaAnn - Ottawa, ON
spklatt - Ottawa, ON - withdrawn although we'll try to get together with her if they reach Ottawa.
drivenbonkers - Perth, ON
Bettypauze - Victoria Harbour, ON
weslemkoon - Gilmour ON
and WEST of Ontario -
nevrest - Broadview, SK
annabell52 - Edmonton AB
Tallulah_B - Calgary, AB
fancyvan - Calgary, AB
daryl - Vernon B.C.
Don - withdrawn
hortensia - Langley, BC STILL NEED ADDRESS
Teresa_in_BC - Sooke, BC
MG99 - Victoria BC
MarilynneS - Murillo, ON (near Thunder Bay)
So unless Cybercrone wants to acquire a gnome and start them off, we should start with ceedub.
A couple of you sent me your telephone numbers. Could the rest please send them as well so we can contact you if there is a problem?

I have many frogs (stuffed, wooden, brass, etc.), and I'm sure that at least one or two could be coerced into a journey. Let me look around the house; I have a corner in my basement of stuff for the garage sale that I never seem to find time to have. I've long forgotten what's in it. All else fails, one of my cats ... nah, that won't work, they'd need brushing every day and would get really annoyed being in a box...lol.
Christine
LOL nope, no more cats in this house........nope, nope, nope!! I have ONE and she's enuff lol
I have a smaller version of the Jerome gnome on a stake in my garden. Could remove the stake and press him into service.
Sounds good to me, Ann! ^_^
ok ann so what it the plan
I could look around for a little stuffed moose I think I saw one at giant tiger on the weekend will check it out
and maybe we could get together and visit then
send them off to the new location
Will have to be soon. I'm off on another trip on Tuesday morning for a week.
Maybe spklatt would like to get together with YOU here in Ottawa and then you could send them off next week and I've D-mailed cybercrone to see if she still has time to host the lads before she gets busy in October.
That leaves the Ontario contingent as:
cybercrone - Toronto, ON - withdrawn unless they surface almost immediately.
ceedub - Whitby, Ontario
drivenbonkers - Perth, ON
Bettypauze - Victoria Harbour, ON
weslemkoon - Gilmour ON
If cybercrone has withdrawn, perhaps they should go to drivenbonkers next and then head west. I was going to use them as a good excuse to get to Perth, but I think they will have to go ahead of my return.
Umm .. so I would be after Weslemkoon ?
As it stands right now .. I am in need of a 'time frame' as Lorna has been admitted to hospital for surgery .. it's a BIG surgery and I may have to drop off the list as I will be caring for her. All I know is her surgery is pending.
M
maybe we could meet tomorrow night for coffee or something is the ottawa group is free
pick somewhere central to all of us and I will bring my camera and we can take group shots with the new crew on wednesday I will be going to merrickville so maybe the person from pert wouldnt mind meeting me there so it would go pretty quick to get some of us done so they can go outwest
Boy are you guys Organized!!
I would love to see a group picture of you all, with whatever of the gnome/canada moose single/duo/triplet end up on the trip lol
Sounds like we're in the midst of a reorganization, eh?!
~Susan~
That would work for me. I'll get the little Jerome from my garden and remove his stake and look for a box. spklatt - how about you? Are you free?
And where should we meet? Mona - you have the farthest to come into town. drivenbonkers - can you meet Mona in Merrickville next week or should we mail them?
Ann
I'm in Kanata for work, weekdays
Mona? Maybe that's a possibility?
ok so when
I thought it was gonna be earlier this evening. Tomorrow? Have to clean my house. But maybe sometime.
I left a gnome, some wrapping and a couple of boxes in my porch and I hope that Mona was able to pick them up and get a new gnome on the way. I'm presently in sourthern Indiana and won't be back to Ottawa until early next week.
Ann
What a sweetheart you are, Ann ^-^
I hope the little guy gets here in time for us to take him camping in Waterton National Park, the last weekend in Sept! We're going tenting in our new-to-us 10-person tent (WOW is it ever big - enough room for a wee gnome, f'sure!)
Good luck to the little fella on his travels! Does he have a name?
~Susan~
Meant to say that the little fellow is a smaller version of Jerome, the gnome who was added in Vancouver. He's been in my garden all summer on a stake.
Well, if he's smaller, then it will be less cost to send him on his journeys ^_^
and no Baggage! lol
He'll be a lightweight little guy ^_^
~Susan~
Any news on whats new with those little guys?
Mona just picked up Jerome2 from me this afternoon (she was sick while I was out of town) and she has a couple of friends to put with him. I have a couple of pics and will start a new thread shortly. They will, hopefully, be on their way to someone new fairly soon.
Ann
Thanks again, Ann for picking up the ball on this one - much appreciated by all, I'm sure!
~Susan~
The new gnomes are about to hit the road. They are now with Mona.
See below for the correct link.
