Thanks Bob, I am leaving Monday to continue North to Santa cruz. I was discussing with Kara a little bit ago about her sleeping with me Sunday nite and Kevin on the couch that way I can have Dan put 2 of the 3 beds up before he goes home and the awning...I knew I could count on my SCCamper friends

Let's all help Dee out!!! Lisa and I are in to buy a bottle of UV Blue Vodka each. If you're drinking Blue Bombers you need to get a bottle. Also lets all chip in for fire wood. Let's all pull together for our dear friend Dee!!!!

Dee, sorry to hear about your back.

If we are there before you on Thursday, we will definetly help with your set up, getting the trailer leveled, unhitched, beds set up and the awning out.
Same on Monday morning, which is when we are leaving, se we will be there to help you and to fold up the beds and put the awning away.

We'll chip in with some firewood, I still have some of the fence that blew down in January I'm slowing getting rid of in our campfires, though what lasts us a weekend will be gone in an hour or so in one of Dee's campfires!!
The Blue Bombers sound nice, I'm sure Margaret will want to try a few, so we'll bring a bottle of UV Blue Vodka. What type of lemonade do you recommend? you said sugar free. I see we have some Mike's hard lemonade in the pantry, would that do

Anyway, only two weeks to go, looking forward to the trip and getting to meet everyone again.

Dee, Let us know if there is anything else we can do to help

Dee we are there for you too.   Let us know what we can do to help.  
 
Shoot, Brian and Kristi just taught Randy how to make cactus coolers.  Now he is going to have to learn how to make this new drink.  Froo Froo drinks are what I like the best.
 
Unfortunately, when our fence blew down in January (like Quigs) the fence guys took all the wood:mad:   We will just have to buy some when we get there.
 
Dee, I hope you feel better soon.  I know what you are going thru.

Thanks everyone, I feel so loved. after reading what I wrote I was waiting for Blocks of cheese to be thrown at me.  :yikes: Not sure if it's the pain or the drugs that are making me so whiny..

Margaret will LOVE blue bombers and what I buy is the 2 liter bottle of MinuteMaid sugar free lemonade from the soda isle...I have found it's
about 1 2 ltr bottle lemonade to one bottle Vodka..I have also found that Albertsons & stator Bros has it the cheapest

I drink sugar free soda, but I know those who don't,  like the sugar free lemonade better as it wasn't so sweet...trust me they are YUMMMMMMMMMMYYYY

I will be bringing or buying some firewood when I get there I'm just not bringing my usual amount...

I will however will be bringing my fire starter  :Z :-()

I know  once I'm camping everything will be all better...it's funny how that works

are we ther yat??


14 more wake-ups!!!!! :-()

[cjpoppin]

Not to worry Dee we'll be bringing up some wood .....
We're in Count Down mode..............

[BootheBunch]

And we'll bring some lemonade, too, to go along with our blue vodka.

Say no more!  We'll see you there!:-()

Bob - I PM'd you re: the payment details.  Did you need favorite colors for kids, too?  I saw a bunch had posted so, just in case,
Zach - Black
Matt - red
Kenzie - green

IF there is room, we'll be happy to join the boat fund...but if we're too late, that's what we get!

Re: water park...for those of you wondering, 2 years ago when we were there, they had a great special just for campers that they don't post online.  Don't buy tix until you get there.  It was cheaper for a week than like 2 days.  Hopefully, they still have the special!  For older kids, (tweens and up) bring a bike lock - they can easily bike over to the waterpark w/out parents in tow.

We'll be bring blue vodka and firewood.  Did I miss anything?

Can't wait!!!!

I told the kids and they started singing and dancing to the Magic moutain theme with the old dancing guy

Thanks Dave :-()  if you bring it I will pour it :!

 
a note on the firewood, everyone pleeze bring some, I will NOT be bringing my usual 2 tubs of firewood.  Due to the condition of my back and the length of the trip I have to re-evaluate what I take.

here's why: many of you know I have been complaining about my back for at least a year, it has continued to get worse and the last 2 months even worse. I started seeing a new chiro a few months ago and he told he has an Idea whats wrong but I have to get an MRI, of course I put that off until I couldn't stand the pain anymore, when your 9 yr old is helping you get dressed and you are practically dragging your left leg along, then it's passed time. The MRI shows I have 3 bulging discs in my lower back ranging from 2mm-4mm and the 4 mm one is compressing the nerve sleeve, as per the MRI report. according to the surgeon 2 pieces of my disc have broke off and is pressing on the nerves, he said he could go in an remove them but he thinks the epidural cortisone shot and PT 3x's/week will work (the chiro & PT are costing me  $500/week  :%  :banghead: ). I almost cancelled this trip altogether as sitting a driving more than 1/2 hr kills me.
so instead I'm leaving Wed and if it take me 12 hrs to get there well so be it. (so look for me on the side of the road :eyecrazy: )I know my SScampers Friends will be there to help me, Dan will be there Fri-Sun. and my sister will be joining me in Santa Cruz.
I have the epidural this Tues afternoon so if it works the pain should go away, unfortunetly the bulging discs will still be there. The Dr. told me whatever I do, don't bend over, lift and twist or I can just take myself straight to surgery.

so let's hope the shot works, if not I'll just become an alcoholic & drug addict instead (hey it's cheaper :screwy: )

My sister & I figured out the perfect job I can get since I can't sit or lift , but standing is great....

I'm going to become a wal-mart greeter

Welcome to our world....we know a little about bulging discs and epedurals.  I hope it will work...but the good news is Heather is going to try and make it and she has every perscription drug in the world...So maybe she can hook you up!!!!! You need a new rig that doesn't need any popping out....Stop every hour and walk around...bring extra padding to sit on...Let the real men set you up....and don't worry about fire wood we will all chip in some...We are collecting it right now..

Awww, Kristi!  We get to be neighbors!  I'm SO GLAD you're able to come!
