We will also be having a Gift exchange You bring or buy here, a gift that is suitable for any of the campers. Wrap it up, gift bag is ok. Then we randomly pick out of a hat each participating person. You go to the pile of gifts and pick a gift and open it. Trading is OK at the end. This is not limited to just TGH members, family can play too. Recipe Exchange Have a favorite recipe to share? Bring copies to share. Plant, seeds, cuttings Exchange (remember plants cant go over the border I dont think. Have seeds etc to share? Looking for something new? Bring them here. Knitting & crocheting tips help and lessons. Lynne and I are here to help with patterns stitches or getting started. You can bring supplies or we can shop here. Check with your airlines for what is permissable to bring on a flight. There are a couple of places in town where you can use a computer to 'phone home' or add to our camp journal. We have wireless in town too. Sign up if you want a postcard from all the campers. Maybe a book exchange?

Plants: Please list any seeds or plants you want or have a ton of, you never know if a camper will have some they can share.
Recipes: Looking for a certain type of recipe? List it here.
Books: looking for a copy of a novel etc someone may have and be willing to part with? List it here. Have a load you'd like to unload? List them here so people can pick.
Ooooh ooooh another idea! Theres a shirt I can order in that says what happens at camp stays at camp. If everyone wants one tell me your size, I'll get some fabric pens and we can all go home with a tee signed by everyone who was here??? I'll just ask you buy the tee at what it costs me wholesale. Cant afford to buy them for everyone. (about $9 each)
Not sure If I can come now... Still no answer/comment from mom...
If I can't come[which now seems like I probably can't] I still want to 'make my precense known' so-to speak...
Wrennie:
1) Can I please be added to the postcard list? 2) Is there anything I can do to help out, like creative-wise...like make name-tags or something? 3) remember the joke from one of the first threads that I would be supplying all the veggies? Well, would I be able to send you a bunch of seeds that you can hand out to all the campers, or something? I have a bunch, most on my current trade list, that if it doesn't go in the next few weeks, my mom's making me throw out..
Wrennie, I want a post card, the gnome shirt (is it 9.00 too?) AND a camp shirt!!! I will send you the money for both shirts but don't send them until the camp shirt is all signed!! Please! I really love that camp shirt!!!
Mark...(Not sure If I can come now... Still no answer/comment from mom...) Why isn't she letting you know anything?? I thougth she was going to bring you???
I would like to send you the seeds I have left, to just give to whoever wants them. When I send the shirt money, I will send the seeds. OK?
What??? we can order a shirt?????
i have extra seeds---I bought stuff for planter tag--& i am thinking it will get put on hold for some time---so are they needed??? i will gladly donate

Anyone who wants to send seeds as a campers gift {sorry I cant be there gift} Could you somehow mark who they're from? a return address label, a sharpie, your screen name and real name too if you want. That way whoever takes them knows the {{yadda}} in their garden was a gift from [whoever] from camp.
Mark no running away allowed. But yes Adirondak Trailways goes from port authority to Phoenicia.
JunieGirl Carol, send me your addres for the postcard list.
Shirley I will find out the exact cost of the shirts probably sometime today, then yes you can send money and seeds all at once.
I have to get a camp notebook so I can make a list or two.
I'll ask mom if I can take the bus up! It shouldn't be more then a 3 hour drive/ride... even if i only stay for a few hours.. that's an option, I'll look into it!
Yeah, Shirley, I know, but I'm not sure why she won't ... :Lol:
Well, If I take the Adirondak Trailways bus from the Port Authority in the City, I'll arrive at Morne Imports on Main Street in Phoenicia in about 3 hours, it says..

Then you take the long greuling 60 second walk to Wrennies store!
Yes I have them ordered. Seems alot of kids are getting into the gnomes, thanks travelocity! :LOL: And there are a few summer camps for kids up here. So those should do well too. I wish I had more room for tees. That company has some really good ones.

As long as I can get my mom to: 1) buy the tickets via credit card for me 2) let me get on the bus going halfway across the state by myself 3) ...in about a week and a half [have to buy the tickets at least 10 days before date]
:LOL: When you get off the bus, oh wait, I think the city bus actually lets off in front of the gas station, then you just cross the street, watch for cars!, and walk straight ahead, and you will walk headlong into my door. See, I took this standing in my doorway looking at the gas station
remember, on the pm's. if you reply to a pm and the person you are replying to deleted the original, they will NOT get the reply. so, if you send a pm, save it till it is "ran out" or always start a new one if the original is more than a day or so old.

thanks for the info, Jiffy---I had no idea--good thing I am lazy and had not deleted any of my Pm's

I was saying in the CH this morning, if the crowd is small enough theres room in my yard for a couple of tents. We'd just have to shuttle up to the state campground for showers so my septic doesn't go ka-poot!
uh oh... Amy is probably going to Puerto Rico with her friend and her family on the 18th, and Don and I might take a few days down at the beach then. We have not been away just the two of us in about 19 years!!! I'll have to see what is happening as we get closer to the date...
Wrennie - if no one else is going to visit you on the 14th, I might come up another day instead - I have to see what is going on here, with both Amy, and my parents... oh, and Brian might be bringing his 2 cats here for us to take care of them for 5 weeks while he travels for work, on that day... will let you know...
i ve tceced it over and decide it would be too far for now, neither one of us is on vacations and since we d be going with the motorcycle it d be a bit more time to go so it ll be for next toime althought i m desapointed not to be able to go but you reserve me a post card please and you all have fun...i want to see a lot of pictures.
thanks to alll that helped with my questions tonight and have a good night.
Wrennie: I just want to say whatever ends up going on this weekend--(or in August) That I wish you all the best. I personallly think it would/will be a great time. I would help if I could, for sure!!! :wink:

Wrennie - I'm so sorry that this weekend has fizzled out... I'm not sure if Brian will be coming down this weekend or next yet, to bring his 2 cats here - he is once again flying back home through Philly today, and the last 2 times he tried to do that recently, his flights were either changed or cancelled due to the weather and he got home a day later. Very frustrating!
I am going to see what I can do about going up in August - again, Amy is leaving for Puerto Rico on the 18th, which is the planned date for that get-to-gether, but I could go up probably on that Sunday. Will know more as we get closer...
I bet i have thought a dozen or more times, "i wish i could go" but it's way far from oklahoma. however, this coming year, they may be linking our little branch of amtrak to the real world, then it would be a real possibility. your town just looks absoulutely charming, and i can see some mountains over there on the left of the gas station picture. everything looks so green and pretty! i wish i could come! sorry this has kinda fizzled up for you, wrennie, maybe august will work out fine for everyone after all!
A party of one is never fun. BUT, August should still be great! I'd come to that but I doubt I could afford it now after the WA trip. Next year though I'm gonna get there I hope.
