...wonders how many resorts Bob had to call to "find himself"?

Looks like the gang made it through the first couple days all still alive. Yippeeeee!!! Glad y'all are having so much fun.



wanders off to find Bob, hoping against hope not to find him parading around as SpongeJuju

Sounds like you y'all are having to much fun. Where are my live feeds.

RG it sounds like you are going to need a vacation after this. Watch out for that late nite crowd. They get totally out of control after midnight.

I am feeling a little more rested this morning. Went to bed at 9:30 and slept in till just now! You are right about the late night crowd birdie, they have energy to spare. Karuuna is coming today! Yeah!!! I can't wait to meet her. Tess is picking her up at the Fargo airport. Tonight we are having a steak dinner with all the fixings! GAil brought a meat locker on this trip. She is the most generous, iteresting person. I am really glad that she decided to come.


The weather has been on the cool side, which I guess is a relief for those from the southern states. We would like it to be in the 80's of course since winter is right around the corner! Tonight we will start a bonfire (partly to stay warm and also I'm doing my "marinated in beer and garlic corn" tonight)

Bob, I will be on the case again today, cpaturing all your vacation moments, so that I can post them on the board! Look for that and other camera opps today!

See you later guys!

Juju, it's that Tess...she is a wild woman, you know!

RG, if they misbehave, lock up the meat and put them on PBJ! that and all the fish they can catch!

Just retrieved a three hour old report that Karuuna has safely landed and been fetched from the airport. Hope she got a LOT of sleep last night.

Well,
I'm being evicted tomorrow morning! Lance will take me to the airport at 5:30 am....there is no rest for the wicked!

GREAT dinner tonight. And there is a bonfire for making smores.

It was really great to meet everyone on this trip.

Hey, Marm, somebody has to be first. Maybe they will sequester you in Cancun.

Marm doesn't get Cancun... I DO!!!! This group is incorrigable (don't know how to spell it, but you get the drift) I am going to be comatose at the end of this party! The last of the partiers went to bed, but need to get up at 5 am for the trip to the airport and the trip on the boat. There are going to be some CRABBY people here in the next few days... hahahahhah...nighty night all!

Daily report from the sleepy campers. Marm made it to the airport, and Karuuna, Merlin & Gail went fishing with the cutest and most personable fishing guide. Gail used her new Rod and caught the biggest fish, pictures to come! SpongeBob came along, and caught his own little minnow (pics of that too!). We're having bass for dinner! Cleaned by that adorable fishing guide - now that's service! Either that or we charmed the pants off him! (pun intended)

Buttercup is upset that she missed the cute fishing guy. Especially when she found out he used to model. I'm not at liberty to say what kind of modeling he did. Unless you offer to pay me. She'll just have to get up earlier if she wants to fish.

While the fishers were fishing, Gracie showed up in pajamas, and brought pancakes to the similarly bedecked Tess & Butter.

Sage rolled out of bed about mid-afternoon, a daily occurrence. Spy made sandwiches for lunch, after assisting in dropping Marm at the airport, and a nice nappy.

Out for now,
The Happy Campers

I just lost a HUGE post...so this one will be shorter.


Sheeeeeit, Merlin, I'm not sequestered in Cancun, but it's just about as hot in my stuffy office. I'm momentarily there collecting mail and music before I head to Penn State. Hey! It's warm here! And NO bugs!

Big thanks to Lance who drove me around and to Tess for arranging the lodging. And the biggest thanks to Sage, Spy, Gracie and RG for the surprise in the bathroom this morning. I woke Spy up with my gasp! I LOVED it and took it on the plane with me. We'll just have to let the board wonder about this!

This was a very "big brother" experience in many ways. I don't think that anyone is eating PB and J, though! The best times were when everyone was playing games together or eating together. Last night I was bit on the butt by a HUGE bug. Spy was bit, too, but in a more pleasant location. Rumor has it that Spy is the next to be evicted from the resort. SHE will probably get maragritas, warm weather and maybe a beach!

Congrats to Gail for catching the biggest fish...you go girl! Keep giving Merlin reasons for envy!

<Marm is wondering if Bob still has his pants on after fishing...or if they are still wet. That sponge has PROBLEMS with squirting on his pants!>

Butter..you better check Bob's pants again, and then race Karuuna for the "fishing model".

Have a great rest of the trip, and thanks for including me in the get-together. I want to hear all about it! And now that I have put a face, accent and mannerisms with your names, I will always read your posts with your real voices and faces in mind.

And daaaaaymn, my dissertation wasn't in my mailbox when I got home...an extra two hours of driving for nothing!

Waiting to read the next installment!

Hugs,
Marm

Okay Marm, you mentioned above that Sage, Spy, Gracie and RG left you a big surprise in the bathroom and that you took "IT" home with you? Hmmmmm....wonder what it could be?

(You also mentioned how this was like a "Big Brother" experience so I'm hoping it wasn't a big doo-doo that they left you!! LOL!!)


So sorry, I couldn't resist!! It sounds like you had a wonderful time with the group of special TVCHer's at RG's!!

The "kids" are on their way down here to watch tonights installment of Big Brother! Hopefully a few will post updates for you.

As far as the cute fishing guide goes... He IS! And he is coaching 6th grade football and my 6th grader is most definitely going out for that sport... hahaha!

Spy leaves tommorrow about 10am. I've had so much fun getting to know her. We have had several nights up late, singin' songs and getting to know each other. It's been wonderful! I've had a chance to talk to each person one on one (except for Kar, who just got here last night.) and I've thoroughly enjoyed that.

More Later!

Just a quick note from me - I am having a blast - I love fishing

Today's fishing was a great time - enhanced by our guide. Catching a 3 - 4 pound bass was truly a thrill - I loved the way my new fishing rod handled through out it. :)

It is such a nice change being around new friends who are so familiar in so many ways. Hard to explain but it has definitely been a great experience here. Resortgirl is the hostess with the mostest.

I will do up a trip summary after I get home and have had 1200 miles of driving to reflect on all kinds of a lot of pleasant memories.

It's raining today so we are going to get a lesson in making soap! Gail brought all her equipment. Tonight is Mexican Fiesta night. Enchiladas, spanish rice, beans and homemade salsa! Maybe even a Margarita or two!

Are y'all making lanyards today too?

And this just in! Spygirl has been evicted from the house! She is enroute to the airport even as we speak! Whoa! Who saw that coming?

*deeya cries in the DR... she was such a lot of fun.. how could they have evicted her...

Farewell tape to Spy... I know that you are going to do great things with your life.. and you know your friends on the outside are here waiting for you to get back... what do those campers know anyway??

*considers sending a banner... Who Betrayed Spy? Revenge coming...
