MI Survivors

Sorry I've been absent for a while. My DH picked up a really bad cold on the way home from Mexico, and I've been worried sick about him. We think he's got a sinus infection. He called our little clinic thia afternoon, and the doctor on call, God bless him, prescribed and antibiotic over the phone. I am sure it will help a lot.

Brighton is about 50 miles west of Detroit and the bridge. You DON'T have to do the roundabout to get to the Lone Star. Go down I-96 (east or west) and take the Brighton exit. It's the second Brighton exit if you are coming west. I believe that the Lone Star is in the shopping center just south of the highway, as I recall. I'll be over there next week--I'll look and make sure.

To get here from south or north, take US-23 to I-96 and go west. Follow the previous directions. I'll see you guys there.

Irene, Thank you so much! However, don't clean out your car for me. If you could see mine, you'd know why I'm saying this. Roundabouts are a mystery to me, so I'll be there to give you moral support. I'm sure we can figure itout together.

Mary and I were thinking we should take a count so I can probably get reservations as early as this weekend.

Does this sound right so far?

Irene, Ann, Kay, Gerri, Denise, Chris, Nancy, Janis, Mary, Bob, (maybe Alex?), Tina, Shel, Julie (Painted Fancy), Anne (ArmyNavyMom, (maybe Tonya).


If anyone wants me to post on a particular topic, let me know. I do not get around all the topics anymore. Or if anyone else wants to post, please do.

Hey - where is Pat (pconn), Candy, 3Bears ... bunch more that I don't mean to leave out!

Yay Pat - come armed with pictures.

I thought I would go back a few pages and see who hasn't checked in to the board in a while. I probably shouldn't have done that because my heart sinks when someone hasn't given us an update in too long.

Here is an updated list of people hoping to make it:

I know, I'm still missing a bunch. Looks like we have a nice big group this time. I'll update the list as people check in.

Wow, I have been without my pc for quite sometime and logged on and see another get together in progress.
I printed out directions to the Lonestar and would really love to finally meet you all. I will do my best to be there but can't say definitly. It's 120 miles for me so we shall see. Just curious, is anyone else near the thumb?
Hope to see you there!
Fran

It is VERY rare for me to be sad we moved back to Alaska from Michigan, but this is one of those times! I use to live about 5 miles from where you are meeting! Whaaaaa I want to come too! I would LOVE to meet all of you girls in person. Take lots of photos for me and someone have a drink for me

Hugs

Hey Kats,
I'm not sure on the hotel, but I "think" they are in the same area as LoneStar....No Round About!

Deb: Wish you could be here too! I don't know if you've made your final plans for your trip to Michigan yet..But FYI..The Komen walk in Detroit is June 16th. this year!

Looking forward to meeting everyone.(Hope my Chronic Cough Spasms have quit by then. The Bug has left, but my whole family gets these dry spasms, and nothing but nothing will stop them until they are ready to stop!!)

hugs,
Denise

I say we have the next one in Alaska! I've always wanted to go there....

Hi Chris,
It seemed like you have been pretty quiet. Hope you had a good vacation. If you haven't caught up on your reading yet, It looks like Mr. Kats and the kitten are going to stay at the hotel and swim. Mr. NotMe is still welcome of course. Is your daughter going to join us? Have you talked to Barb and ConnieSue?

I'm going to make reservations for 18 soon. I'll post around and see if anyone missed our posts. We can always add more and I figure, even if 12 show up, we have a nice big gathering this time.

See you all on Saturday!! It will be fun to meet all of you and just be out and have some fun!

Love and Hugs,
Denise

hi everyone. looks like Im the only Yooper in the crowd. have fun at your luncheon

Trish - please come join us! We're getting together at the Lone Star in Brighton. Can someone post the link for Trish, please?

Stack - I lived in Ishpeming for 3 years. I know that doesn't make me a true Yooper, but it's close...

Can't wait until Saturday. I'm being bad, and cutting short a church council meeting so I can come. This was on the calendar first though!

Anne

Would any of you be bored or offended in I brought a scrapbook of my boys? =0) I have one taken every year on vacation for the last 5 years in Northern Michigan...I hate to bore people about my kids!

Janis

Janis,
I'd love to see the scrapbook of your kids, I use to do regular scrapbooking now I do digital.

Mary

Hi,
I am still trying to work it out so I can come. I will have to have my sister or daughter drive me there. Is that ok. I am hoping that I can make it. It is only about 1 hour away for me.
