I gotta admit... that is funny!
Hey Jill, if you come we can have a panel contest, I did 9 last year, but I did make a pattern for 1 of them, much to farmer Bob's dismay.

Sorry to break the news Ken - Jill did SIXTEEN panels at the Dixie Meet - and that was just Saturday afternoon. I was looking forward to my first New England meet, but it looks like I'll be visiting my daughter in San Francisco instead. You kids have fun........

Man, Sonny, that's a bummer, I was going to make you a batch of blues.
I was wondering what the procedure for driving through Canada is. I was told just the other day that we would not need a passport to go from the States to Canada. It was mentioned that our driver's license would work. How about it? How about birth certificates?
I could cut a chunk off our trip and avoid some urban areas by running along the Canadian border and back into Vermont and then to the meet. Would Ottawa be along the way? I wouldn't mind seeing that.
I'm weary here lately and need some R&R and I can just about guarantee I'm not up for setting a record making panels. I'm hopin' for fall like weather, a fire to sit by and swap lies, hunkerin' down with the heads and getting relaxed. My poor old body is ground to a halt. I'm hoping to do a good old fashioned oil painting. Life is good!!!!!!!!!

When I went into Canada to go to the Moose Jaw event, all I had to show them was my drivers license. I also had a birth certificate along with me but they didn't ask for it. If you do cross into Canada I would print out a copy of the registration form and anything else to show them what you are doing. I did get the third degree both ways but that's to be expected.
It would be a bit shorter of a drive for you to go up through Canada and a bit more to see too. You could head down this way once you hit Montreal. If you're heading through Vermont give me a shout.
Looking forward to seeing you guys. As much as I've been working lately, a few days at a meet will be very relaxing. And this is one of the nicest setting for a meet that will will find.

Well, I fell off the fence. Sent my registration in yesterday. I don't know if I'll be up to a panel contest. Mine are usually quantity versus quality anyway, with the quality part coming up short. I think I'll leave my record from Sonny's stand. I need to get away, too. Maybe I'll bring some cookies and some Iron City. Hey Bill, be careful in Montreal because the traffic is crazy and the road signs are all in French! Love....Jill

Almost here! Man, am I ready. The Buick calls out my name ... Bill, Bill, Billllllllllll!!!!!!
If you get our weather from west to east, man are you in for a treat. It's about 65-70 with no humidity and the sky can't get any bluer. Football Friday night around here. Gettin' into the 50's at night, I can smell the mixer of popcorn, pork chops, hotdogs, hot chocolate at the game ... ummmmmmm!!! Still got kids I coached before I retired out there for the next 2 years.
It's time for the Pontiac Indians to whoop up on the adnormal team from Normal (I hope).
Just talked to Peach and he's got me syked! He mentioned the leaves are changing, so Jane will be taking bunches of pix.

OK, Bill....lemme get this straight.... you have pork chops in the concession stand at the football games? That's really unusual! You can fill me in about it on Friday. (I haven't been to a game since '95 when my son Bill played tuba in the 8th grade band!) Love....Jill

Jill, they sell pork chops by the gazillions, but you've got to go to the concession stands to get them.
Pontiac came from behind 10-0 to win the game 13-10 in the last 3 minutes of the game against those rich kids from University High School. I love it.
Sad fact is, I had my 86 year old father with me and it dipped down into the 30's during the second half and he asked me to take him home. So we missed the last quarter and a half, and didn't see the comeback.
If that 60's during the day and 30's at night makes it to the meet, we'll bring the s'mores. Peach already mentioned he wanted to do some zilching.

So Karen...night swimming during cold weather, with a heated pool, must be awesome at night, with all the fog over the water. That's sorta like swimming at a spring here in Florida, in December, in the moonlight.

I just got back from the grocery store. I bought cookie fixins, and a bag of Halus-ka noodles for Bob K. If someone there has some butter and cabbage we can fry something up. And a Steelers bumper sticker for Rabid. The damn store was out of caramel cream candies like I always bring so I had to substitute something else. And a case of Iron from the local beer guy. See yins Thurdsday night-ish! Love....Jill
