\ This time will be better - were not strangers, just strange.

excellently said -

I'll see what I can do about Donna, she's "still up in the air" at this point.

[hopeforfish]

I agree, do not be intimidated those of you who will be joining us for the first time. You will not meet a better or funnier group of gals.

Hope

less than a week now!!!!!! who's counting the days, minutes, seconds?? hee hee

[teresa]

Ya noooooooooo.....I better get to da storrr and pick us up some beyr. I'm a gittin sooooo excited.

[teresa]

Who want to bring s'more fixins?

[teresa]

Hope....sausages sound like they are on your list!

I've got the bread, english muffins, syrup, orange juice, coffee, creamer. I'll also plan to bring 2 doz dog buns so everyone doesn't have to worry about that.

Char, I've got a camp stove too, so I'll bring a big pot to boil some corn in, unless we want to do them on the fire???

[reelemin]

hey guys - this all sounds toooo great. But don't count me in for too much of the food thing. I'm a bit of a picking eater so I tend to do my own thing.

[glenn57]

yea, some of that food sounds a bit messy and i dont want to get it all over my black dress. and what would that syrup do to the wax job on my mustache?

[teresa]

glennda....I think you are officially in charge of the late night entertainment.

[reelemin]

yea, some of that food sounds a bit messy and i dont want to get it all over my black dress. and what would that syrup do to the wax job on my mustache?

Thats the beauty of a black dress, not much shows up on it.

although I wouldn't know - I haven't worn a dress since 1976 -

[glenn57]

gals, im really sorry to burst your bubble, let the air out or in plain words disappoint ya all, but as i said way earlier in this post i will be up north starting to feed the bears so maybe dude lake tom can fill in the black dress this weekend. i plan on meetin up with garyc for a pop on sat afternoon also. maybe next gtg.

[UdeLakeTom]

It is TOM with a deeeeep voice, not Thomasina. And Mrs. Tom wouldn't approve of me going fishing with the ladies...she has a hard enough time with me fishing with the guys.

[teresa]

How about sending Mrs. Tom with us...and you stay home????

[UdeLakeTom]

I sent her out this weekend....too lonely for me among other things...but the house is clean. There is another problem, her idea of roughing it is a hotel without a pool.

This time will be better - were not strangers, just strange.

I concur, you are definitely strange!!

[FishNovice101]

Hey hey hey - the apple does not fall far from the tree - Annnddeeeee

[FishNovice101]

Teresa - I'm thinking about doing the corn in the fire. Better than boiling it.

[Patti]

Hey ladies,

I am still heading up but not until Sat. morning.

My boat is still coming up too and yes, I do still

need someone to go out in it with me.

I'm coming up as soon as I can get there. Shooting

for being up there about 8 a.m. if not earlier. I think

I still have Tammi's cell phone number to let you know

when I arrive. I may need some help getting the boat in.

I've been reading thru all the emails and trying to

figure out what I can contribute...food-wise.

Do you all bring your own meat and then bring salads, etc.?

If so, I can bring up that asian salad..with the coleslaw, asian dressing, ramen noodles, etc. (don't know what its called).

Also, how does everyone feel about roasted marshmallows?

Since I'm not coming up until Sat. morning I can also refresh the ice supply.

Can someone put together a list at sometime so I can figure out what else I should bring? or is there enough and I'll just bring money to contribute?

And yes, I am bringing a tent.

Patti

[teresa]

I think your salad and some marshies sounds great. Yes, bring your own meat and some ice. We had so much food last time, no one went hungry. Patti, you will have a lot of fun, and you won't be alone in your boat...I'll come drive you crazy. We'll help you with getting the boat in as well. If I remember the threads we use a public launch.

[Peachy]

awwww roasted marshmallows sounds sooooo yummmy!!!

[Iambjm]

Two questions:

Has anyone heard from Flygirl and whether she is coming?

Does anyone know if they make sugar free marshmallows?

[fishtrapgirl]

Wish I could make it to the GTG girls, but the in-laws are coming from MN for a visit this weekend. Trust me, I would much rather be with you crazy people than those crazy people! I bought two horses last week so I have been busy getting them settled in and spending lots of time with them. I will post pics of them sometime, Skip and Goliath are their names. Just another hobby to cut into my fishing time now! Hope you guys have fun, don't forget about me trying to fake being the perfect daughter-in-law this weekend. Hopefully I don't fart around them, I would be banished from my own house! Then I'm coming to the GTG!!!LOL

Brenda

[Iambjm]

Tell them you have a very important political rally to go to. Plus a conference on global warming. Then sneak your fishing gear into the car and boogie girl!

[reelemin]

diddo what she said.
