Hey, at least Wink didn't get dyslexic and ponder the ramifications of taking a bite out of Napoleon's ... oh, never mind ...

Well, I am impressed with the brain power still available after the indulgence in Danish pastries! I was very nearly comatose when I left there!
Thank you all very much for helping out with the plant's locale. I found the store on the web and have sent the site to my friend! What a great and helpful bunch TVCHer's are!!

Hubby and I are going on a small road trip this weekend. A good friend has offered us the use of her beach house Sat. and Sun. It is much needed and much appreciated. We need some quiet time alone together and there is no TV, phones, or computers. On the way out there we will be stopping at the farmer's market and get a whole bushel of peaches and some other fresh fruits and veggies. I can't wait to gorge on the peaches. You can take the girl out of the south but you can't take the south out of the girl!

Tnt, let me know what your friend finds out from The Mole Hole!! How exciting!!

Twinks, you are such a peach and I think it's wonderful that you and your hubby are having a secluded weekend road trip at a beach house...how nice! Enjoy!! Then be sure to come back here and report.

Bob Sponges are alive, but sleepy.

I'll post more Friday night, but here's a quick summary.

PEI was excellant, but next time we need to get a Bed & Breakfast & Internet (not just a B&B),
since we could not get online for longer than to get LLkoolaid's phone number from email!

Took the ferry to Nova Scotia today, met LL at her work, made it up and around the Cape Breton Highlands and then to our room in Nova Scotia after 10:00 PM.

Tomorrow is Halifax and meet Neko.
Kids want to get to the hotel early to relax and swim, and I will have more time to get caught up on last 4 days on the board.

:)

Just popping in to say "Hello" from southern Michigan and my daughter's computer.
Not having any connection to the clubhouse has been like quitting smoking, it's not fun and I have too many cravings! LOL

Whoopie to finding out Halfunit and Unit will be here tomorrow, I can't wait to meet them!!! My dd just told me that Sawheel and theOwl are not going to be here which is a real letdown.

Details of our road trip will have to wait until we get back, but I have been enjoying trying to catch up with a few of the others' road trips here and they sound great.

Tnt, I know several places on your way through Georgia that are interesting. In the northern part of the state Tate Mansion is a home built by the discoverer of the pink marble in Georgia. The Atlanta Zoo has been the home of the Cyclorama for many years and is quite a site to see. Milledgeville was the state capital before the Civil War and has the Georgia Military College on the grounds where the state capitol buildings stand complete with moats and underground tunnels to the Governor's Mansion, now the dean's home for Georgia College at Milledgeville. Macon has Indian mounds that are amazing. Further south is the 'Little Grand Canyon' and in south Georgia is Vidalia, home of the best sweet onions you've ever tasted. Hope this helps.

Don't forget to get peaches in GA!!!

Also if you've never had boiled peanuts you haven't lived. And GA is the best place to get peanuts of all kinds.

Gracie,
I wish that I could go to your anniversary party, but it will be too late for me to drive back to play for church. Enjoy being with Unit and Halfunit...they are great people! Heck, you all are great people! Happy anniversary and have a great trip!

Uh, Lance....so are you going to visit out my way to eat the 6 pound hamburger at that restaurant in Clearfield? LOL!

I get to stay home for a couple of months....make that CHAINED to the classroom. Oh, an occasional trip to Pittsburgh, but that is only a 2 hour drive.

Next Marm trips:

Louisville--Nov. 12-15
Central Illinois--week after Christmas
Boston--second week in February
Munich--March 6th for a week.
MINNEAPOLIS (HI TESS!) in April
Erie (does that even count?!) in April
Munich--may? june? july? august? all of the above?
Oh, and I will be in Long Beach in Nov 2004.
Love these conferences/business trips! I'll probably sneak in a few NYC short trips in there!

So, any Southern Indiana/Ohio, or Louisville area posters out there? Nana? I will have a little time on Wed. after my plane arrives and before the conference starts. Of course if my fellow from Munich makes it to the conference, well, my plans will change!

Gracie and Twinkie - thanks for the GA info! I am an Emory graduate so I know about Milledgeville and Macon, but the Tate mansion is news to me! The Atlanta zoo was always my favorite Sunday afternoon date place when I was in school!

My rooommate for my Freshman and Sophmore years was FROM Vidalia, and I enjoyed several visits home with her! I understand there is actually a stop light or two there now!!

I love boiled peanuts, not only tasty but easier to shell!!

I hope the MI gathering is a HUGE success!! Too bad the Owl and Sawheel can only be there in spirit!!

Just got in from meeting Urgrace, SirGrace, Halfunit and Unit!!!! I am totally psyched and have to go drink some tea just to slow down a little, then I'll be back...

Oh! Half had about twice as far to drive but I think she drives twice as fast as I do, so I'm surprised she didn't beat me on here.

I saw many, many quality butt shots on the digitals tonight, so be prepared...

Yay, Teatime!!! Haven't had the pleasure of meeting Half and Unit yet but Gracie is such a dear!
