OK...dumb question...what is the "conversations side?"

Great that you live so close to each other and are meeting up! Have fun!

Another Fairfield Countian here -- I'd love to meet up! But Thursdays aren't good. Maybe on a Monday or Wednesday sometime :)

Joaniepoanie, look at the main 'messages' page for this forum. To your right, there are 'Gallery' and 'Conversations', both subforums you can click on.

Joanie,

If you go up to the first message, see where is says "Topic Discussions"? Look to the right and you will see "Conversations"; click on it.

I was here a few years before I wandered in!

AWM, I didn't know that! Yes, we should!

SueB, Maybe in Maine someday!

I'll be there in spirit! Have a great lunch and meeting!

Amazing coincidence! You'll have to post pics as suggested! I often wish there would be a meet-up for anyone in Northern CT/Central-Western MA/lower VT+NH.

thats a lot of territory, PeeGee, LOL!

PeeGee, that would be easier for me than Fairfield County. Or maybe we could meet somewhere North/NW CT and drive to Fairfield County together. If you are interested I will open my email option.

Wish I could, but I'm in Atlanta. DH grew up in Westport, though! Such a nice town!

I live in CT, but will be on vacation out of state . Funny! Mtnrdredux, we could have talked about Maine and Annie, I could have confessed that your capsule wardrobe post is inspiring me to pack more efficiently. Have fun ladies!

Northeast CT here. Have fun!

You guys are the opposite side of the state from me, although it would be fun.

Too bad I work Thursdays, Wednesday is my day off.

Beache, are you in Windham County too?

This boggles my mind and frustrates my soul ... it's 2013 and we don't have transporters yet. If we did I'd be there!

Mtndredux - Yes it's a lot of territory, but going from say very northern CT or very southern VT/SWest NH midway to mid MA is not all that far....Eandhl; unfortunately, most of the time I have only Friday's off. Do you think there might be interest in a more Northern GW meet? I wonder as I seldom hear references from this area, but often of lower CT....I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how the email option works
: ( am I the only one???

peegee~ Go to your profile page~ It's at the top right of this page.
Go to the bottom of profile page and check where it says "allow others to send me email".

Darn! All the way over in the high heat -- but would LOVE to be there too! Take some pics for us!

Cheers!

Have a delightful lunch!

CT is beyond my commuting range - but I'm willing if anyone wants to meet in Philly or NYC.

So. Not. Fair. !

I'm up in the Quiet Corner (where MA/CT/RI come together) but I won't be able to make the lunch. Sounds fun though!

peegee, I attempted to send you an email. Did you see the directions for allowing email?

There are a few other folks in the area I hope we hear from...would be terrific if we could get even a small group together....c'mon, throw caution to the wind, be daring, do lunch!
;)

I am working on finding a sitter, no easy task as all mine are now in school :( , but if I can find someone to watch the little ones I would love to join you girls. I also will look for show houses in the tristate area for maybe a GW get together this fall?. If I can not make it I hope you have a wonderful time!

Oh, Roarah that would be lovely!

I like your other idea too!

PS I can promise not to talk about blue paint. : )

Not to hijack your thread, but for those of you who mentioned a desire for a NY area get-together, Caroline (trailrunner) is supposed to be up north next month, and we will try to plan one when she is in NYC.

(elizpiz and rococogurl said to count them in!)

Hope you all have a great time in CT--be sure to post pics!

An NYC get together sounds fab...count me in...do you think TR can bring one of her incredible breads with her???

:)

I would love a NYC get together, especially when Trail is in town.

CatMom, I was wondering if Westport was far for you?

Not a hijack at all! I was going to suggest NYC, too, for a more organized one. This is impromptu, if you will! It'd be great to see Rococo and Elizpiz again, and you CatMom. And ive never met Trail!

Ya'll are sweet. I hope that we are going to be able to make the planned trip to Canada which was to include a return through the City. Will have to keep cat_mom and roco posted on it. No bread as I will have been away from home for a couple weeks by then. Ask cat and roco to bring theirs !! c

You know what's funny, mtn? I'm going to be in Ogunquit next Thursday! Darn, I could have met you at the beach house and we could have played with paint chips together.

Forboystoo - Thanks for the info - never knew that before!

Eandhl - just got in and later this evening will try to update again; just tried but having a problem. Thanks!

SueB --- that is just CRAZY. I'm going up Friday night. We are meeting with the inspector and contractor Saturday!

Guess what? I will be driving right through Fairfield -- on Friday! Darn it. May have to catch the Bolt Bus to NYC.

Wish I still lived in NH, I'd come. Sounds like such fun!

Waaah! All the cool kids live in the NE! :) Post pics so we can pretend we are there!

Mtn, don't know. Keep me posted with the details. If I can make if, I will!

Nini, yup we're the cool kids until Jan and Feb when we get downright cold!
;)

Wish I could! Have fun!

Boo hoo. You NE girls DO have all the fun. This Texas girl will just stay down here in the stifling heat and be envious. Hope you all have a great time.

How cool! I hope you have a fabulous lunch.

Great idea and wish I could join in. With enough advance planning, I may be able to make one in NYC if that happens. Have a fun time together and please share with us here!

Mtn, my lakehouse is in Bridgton Maine. We could try for a Maine meet one day. We're there most of the summer although we came home yesterday but will be back again next week.

Sounds fun, you girls enjoy!! ...
True story: I ended up making a dear friend this way. I was looking at a house online on a décor board, my son walked in, looked at the computer and said hey- I've been in that house! Turned out it was right around the corner from my work!! We got together for lunch and became real life friends, lol.

Great story, loribee!

Have fun, ladies, and raise a glass to the geographically isolated!

Peegee, I'm in SW NH and would love to get together. Fridays are best for me, but with some notice other days would work, too!

Also from Fairfield County - unfortunately unable to make it this Thurs. Hopefully there will be another opportunity in CT or NYC.

Anyone from NW CT, Litchfield County?

I thought I had posted, but don't see it here or on the conversation side thread. So,...

have an absolutely marvelous time to all you ladies who meet for lunch!

Chibimimi and Eandhl - Can't explain now but promise I will get back with you both -also I plan to start a new thread for any of us more northern folks, but need a wee bit of time first.....thanks!

Another Fairfield cty gwer here. I am volunteer EMT that day;(

It's always fun to meet up with forum buds! Sort of solidifies the bond you have already made on line. Sure wish I had an excuse to come east for a few days, but am gearing up for the Round Top Antique Show then off to IL for a a 3 week visit with my best friend of 51 years.

Several years ago I met up with 4 gals from a decorating forum and we went to the Rose Bowl flea market for the day. They also came down to San Diego, where we spent the day at a local swap meet as well as several antique stores. One of the gals appeared on the Christopher Lowell Show(twice)and was also featured in Romantic Homes magazine. It was 'back in the days' when home decorating shows were big and the decorating frenzy was going strong.

Again, have a great time and make a toast to those of us who are there in spirit. ;o)
