Wish I could, but we are in the middle of major renovations. Finish date was end October, but now they're saying mid November. That, and my clothes could be pretty dirty, as we'll have been without a washer/dryer for over a month by then!

Wish you could make it Laurel, but congrats on the renovations.

Sorry to hear that. It seems like it was a great retreat. I've always enjoyed following you guys online.

Tobey and I were just discussing the retreat and both wished it were earlier than November. The first ones I went to were around the first week of October which usually works better for me. He would like to combine one of his bike trips to get us there then I could quilt and he could recuperate! Of course, I totally understand. We are heading out October 31 for our Canada/polar bear trip - third try is the charm! (2020-Covid shutdown, 2021-broken wrist & ankle, 2022- WE ARE GOING!!!)

Keep me posted - I would love to come if it was earlier!

I totally understand. I hope I will be able to attend if you are able to book again for next year.

Sue

Sue, we'll see if there is any interest in another one.

I'm having trouble posting.........Travel arrangements have been made......makes me wonder what is planned for while I'm gone. lol Time to get the party started....

I am looking forward to the retreat. Are we planning a menu again? I was thinking I would make chili this year if everyone is game.

Sharon, good thing I have a big SUV. Char, no menu planned. We can each make something or order out. Not gonna be many of us. Chili sounds wonderful to me. I'm bringing vegetable soup. I think Sharon should make Sue's famous lasagna.

Sounds good to me. I might even find Sue's recipe for garlic bread.

Anyone going to retreat want all my Eleanor Burns books/patterns? How about Dear Jane?

Bring them along and I'll go through them. Thanks.

WoooooHooooo........6 days before I leave. I hope my daughter's Jeep has enough room. might have to rent a small U-Haul????? lololol

I'm sure it will pull a trailer if necessary. See you soon my friend.

I am soooo sad that I will not be there this year. This is the first one I have missed since I started coming.

You will be missed, but we will talk about you.

Aw Jackie, I'm sorry you aren't able to be at our last hoorah. I'm sure Beverly will keep you updated on any antics that happen. You will definitely be missed. Hugs......

Yes, we will miss you ☹️

This eagle has landed back in S. Illinois. Thanks again, Beverly, for a great retreat. It was so nice to see you and Tim and Sharon again.

Glad you made it safely home. The flamingos have made it as far as my house. Sharon's daughter will pick her up tomorrow.
