FFJ, I'm hoping for cooler weather. It's 94 in Tuscaloosa as I type.
We'll be bringing a bag of flexible tent poles with us. Free to anyone who could use them. Look for Earl and Pat at site 123. We also have a used 14ft bag awning, (we just replaced ours) Has a couple knicks in the canvas, and we had to unbend the pole that you roll it up on. But otherwise it's in good shape. Problem is, I'm not sure how we would get it up to the Rally. If someone is interested in it, let me know. We'll make that extra effort to bring it up.
See you all soon.
Only 3 days til the rally. We have a lot of fun activities planned. I just checked the weather and it looks pretty normal for this time of year. Highs in the upper 80's and lows around 64 with 10-20% chance of rain. If any of you want to check the weather you can look at either Cartersville or Acworth. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon! 🙂
We are down to almost counting hours instead of days!!! I am going to try a new ice cream recipe on Friday evening. "Dr. Pepper Passion" looks like it will be good. I will be making 6 quarts. First come first serve if you want to come give it a try. I will be in sight 127 and will give a shout out when it is ready. Praying it turns out and is as good as it sounds.
I have already gotten most of my stuff together (piled in my living room and dining room). Will pull out just after lunch on Thursday so should be there and set up by 4 I hope (with Amanda's help)!!!!
See everyone soon!!!!
Al went to the foot surgeon today and did not get the pins out of his toes, so he won't be playing cornhole this go-round, so Matt needs a new partner for this Fall Championship! (Sorry, Matt, he's just not able to stand that long or move properly/swivel.)
Speaking of the Cornhole Tournament, who is wanting to play this time? A few of us are bringing our boards, us included even though Al's not playing. Hey! I can play this time! 8) I'm in!
The weather promises to be gorgeous and we are not going to bring the canopy for the "just in case it rains" shelter. :rock:
Melinda, that ice cream sounds great! We'll be across the road on #124 so we'll join the stampede; well, Al will hobble! 🙂
Sorry to hear that Al didn't get his pins out. Why don't you team up with Matt and that way if you win, you can keep the crown in the family? I will be bringing my custom made boards with the bean bag magnets that only I have the remote for. :rofl:
I do have a canopy that I will set up at rally central, but it is just for shade.
We will be coming in Thursday afternoon and will be happy to help you set up. Al can prop his foot up and coach.
Hey, Darrell, thanks for the offer on helping to set up in case I need it. Al's going to be sitting with his foot up for sure although he usually does a lot of that anyway. ;D
Maybe Matt and I can retain the title; we'll see. 🙂 Let's hope your remote control batteries last through the frey! Thanks for bringing the canopy. I usually bring ours, but this time maybe too much for me. I am bringing the 6' table though. It's already in the van.
See y'all soon!
Well Judy, tell Al I'll be right there with him. I've apparently injured my knees and can barely walk (William has informed me that I look ridiculous walking). I'm heading to the doctor tomorrow to see what's going on with them... Hopefully I'll get some good pain meds 😀
Just tell Al he'll have a friend to hobble with!
Last year was the first time we had ever heard of, or played, Cornhole. It was fun, but we are bad. Maybe we could set up a beginners field, you know-where we only stand 4 feet away from the board, and everyone is new? lol. Yes, seriously, Earl and I would like to play. We just don't want to drag anyone down. See some of you tomorrow. We hope to arrive between 2 and 3 pm. We'll help wherever and whoever we can. 🙂
We're also bringing some nacho cheese dip with tortilla chips for Friday night and to bring what's left (fresh cheese & chips though) for snacking at the Saturday potluck.
We've got the camper hitched, the tee-shirts (finally) being delivered tomorrow morning - don't ask! - and getting food packed to pull out tomorrow late morning, we hope. First: choir tonight; next: sleep; Then - RALLY TIME!
I'm trying to get organized tonight so we can leave out as soon as I get off work tomorrow. Surgipat, I've got a microwave now and can help out popping. I've also got a s'mores edible craft for the kids one night. Since we left the camper at the campground on Monday, the trip over shouldn't take us too long. I hope we can be there about 7 pm. See you all real soon!
[size=16pt]IT'S HERE!!!![/size]
Can't wait to see everyone and get to meet some new faces! Don't forget to pack your rally shirts (if you purchased them in the Spring) since we'll wear those during the potluck 😉
Also, I don't see that anyone has volunteered to bring drinks to the Saturday night potluck. If you haven't settled on something or need an idea, can I have someone respond or message me to let me know we'll have some drinks? That would be a huge help!
See you all soon! Praying that you all have safe travels & no traffic ;D
