Eg--I got in the boat on Friday. Didn't scoop up any fish though we did see quite a few loons. NO--they weren't IN the boat, silly. RG and her son gave us a beautiful tour of the lake (it's a very pretty lake). And, even though I did spend quite a bit of the week getting teased, I can't say that I ever felt the need to slap anyone around with a lake trout or any other fish. Your hug, on the other hand, was delivered first thing.

For MsBat's information, there may just be the tiniest amount of money left in someone's wallet to supplement her budget for that long trip down south this winter. Maybe.

Hi Tessy !! Haven't been around here on this side of the board lately. I was wondering where Lance went for his vacation. It sounds nice, that you both met up at RG place. Tessy, I remember you said you really enjoyed it when you were there before. Is this Lance first trip there? And don't tell me you were afraid to get into the boat? That can be one of the best part of the trip. I hope you guys have a great time! And savor every minute of it.

Good to finally see you, MsL!

Missy!!!!! I've been looking for you all summer long. Then Lance finally has to go away to get you to notice. Well, my goodness gracious.

I was not afraid to get in the boat--was sick is all. (I'm seriously thinking of trading in my lungs for a new set though no one wants the old set.)

And now everyone is back home again. The boat trip was wonderful and well worth waiting for. RG, Ax and Lance were terrific--just like they are here on the board. I truly hope that more people from tvch get to meet in the future.

Now, Missy---I hope you are not so scarce during S3--I need to have someone to join in my painting wars for old time's sake!!!!

Glad you made it home safe and sound Tess and Lance. Thank You for being such awesome guests! Godiva chocolate, wine (two bottles!) and a rootbeer float is certainly the way to this girls heart, but you two would have captured it without the goodies because you are absolutely wonderful people. We really enjoyed having you! I look forward to fall and winter so I can spend more time on the board so we can keep in touch!

Well, now that I’m back, it’s time to give a little bit of an account. I really enjoyed my time at RG’s place.J

The accommodations are very nice, and very cozy feeling. The cabins have a homey feeling to them, and are right on the lake. The mobile home is great for a family or a person who wants to have a huge amount of space. It’s so quiet and peaceful, yet there are lots of activities at the resort or in neighboring towns. If you like the water or like to fish, you will be extremely happy. RG and her family make it great to be there, and are wonderful people. They really enjoy helping people get the most out of their time. Rates are more than reasonable too.

Axman should up for a visit Sunday afternoon. He is a nice person, and has a good sense of humor. I think we see that on the board. He has varied interest from playing football to singing. He likes chocolate cake that doesn’t require fighting siblings to get. I really enjoyed the chance to get to meet and talk to Ax. He is indeed someone most any of us would enjoy spending time with.

RG is a bundle of energy. Yes, she gets up before I ever did, although she does have a business to run, and I was there to be lazy! She and her family were really nice to us when we were there watching Big Bother. Her hubby also runs a carpet business, so they stay busy during the resort season! It doesn’t take bribes of chocolate and Merlot for RG to treat you great—although it helps her day go by a bit better. RG and her son took Tess and I out for a tour of the lake and a little history of the area. It was a very enjoyable time. Sorry you were feeling sick RG!

Tess is just the way she is on the board and in chat—always willing to lend a helping hand as well as always having a positive word. She is a very nice person, and would do anything to help or share anything she had. On a positive note for Tess, she said that health wise, that was the best week she had in 16 years! That’s pretty cool that she was able to experience something like that. Tess is really into music. Also feel free to ask her about towels having to be neatly folded. If you ever get the chance to meet Tess, please be sure to follow through with it…she is a person who takes a positive approach to just about everything—including those things that have plenty of room to be negative.

I am grateful for not only the chance to get away for a week, but also for the chance to meet 3 of the folks on TVCH in such a great setting. I would love the chance to see any or all of them sometime again. And I know that at some point, when I need my next vacation, you’ll probably be able to find me there again in September. Thanks to RG and her family for such a great place to take a vacation, and to Tess, Axman, and RG for being willing to share your time with me.

Thanks Lance!
We surely can do this again next year and talk more people into coming. I will take my vitamins so that I don't get sick and we will actually have a campfire and roast some marshmallows.

Anyway, today I will close this place down for the season. Bittersweet. It always seems so quiet after all the guests leave but I'm looking forward to a little R&R. Maybe we could visit Washington and Lance could do some cooking for me too! LOL!

It sounds wonderful.

It would be great to meet you all in real life.
Someday...:)

Um, Lance, I think a lot of people want to know this but are too polite to ask, so I will have to do it:

Was Tess anything like Nicole with those towels?

Juju,
I'm afraid so....

hahahaaaaaa-but I was sufficiently tortured for my efforts. Don't forget that part.

<Tess grabs Juju2troublemakingdog by the tail and twirls her overhead, then tosses her on top of the closed-up cabin to howl into the lonely northwoods night>

Whoa! <smiles stupidly> Sometimes that Tess will surprise you.

There is a slight difference between Tess and Nicole. While doing anything with towels, Tess doesn't use the F word as a noun, verb, and adjective all in the same sentence.:)

Lance -- are you saying that she only uses it one time in each sentence?

Tess

Monday, September 24, 2001 - 11:05 am Click here to edit this post
Ummmmm-what he means, Kar, is that I never used it once in any sentence!!!!!! And he got hugs and thanks for making dinner instead of being compared to the devil. Other than that, you'll have to draw your own conclusions about any comparisons between myself and Nicole.

Hmmm--interesting point. No, she doesn't use that word at all. There may be another word that slipped out a few times though. I'll let her explain that one!

How about two words, "Thin Ice"??

No naughty words that I heard. Of course I wasn't there when whe had to get into the "cold" shower. For some reason the sweet woman didn't inform me that she had no hot water in her shower until the day she was leaving. I can imagine the first time she was hit with that refreshing stream there may have been a naughty word. But I just can't say for sure.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser. How much do we have to pay for the "real" story, instead of Lance's G-rated version? :)

Tess

Actually, I don't remember there being any words in the cold shower, just a very loud gasping sound!!! There was plenty of hot water for the dishes and that's what really counts.

Kar, you might ask if I allow swearing in my house. Or you could ask about someone's penchant for making up nicknames for people. Or......

Tess -- okay, ur killing me here! How much will it cost? I think I can pilfer some $ out of Lance's pocket, if someone else hasn't beat me to it...

Hey, why is it the two Jerri hat women take my money!?

You know, the most frustrating thing about it is that I'd at least like to feel when someone sticks their hand in my pocket!

Nicknames?? One or two, maybe.

Tess

Kar, I happen to know that there are at least a couple of dollars left in that wallet unless MsBat stuck her sticky fingers in there on her way out of town. Oh--wait.....you said pocket, didn't you. Ummmmm---well, I didn't inspect any pockets. I would go for the wallet if I were you.

Whatever you do--don't ask what I have for breakfast or you might just find out which little word did slip out once or twice. (but only when severely provoked)

Tess

Hey mister!!! Just whom are you calling a Jerri-hat woman??? Them's fighting words now!!! oh--unless you didn't mean me, that is.

I give. Apparently you're all just teasing me, just pretending that there really is some juicy story. Oh, the agony of being misled...

No pocket hands for you Lance. And as for you Miss Tessie, keep ur hands to urself too!
