    Hi Pinkstockers!  The day is approaching and we are getting so excited.  DH even bought a lot of fireworks to bring with us.  Now, I still don't know if I can take the time off or where we are going to stay but know we are not missing it this year! Laughing    God willing of course.    I can't wait to meet everyone.  BTW- what can I bring you guys from Miami?

    Do you feel it? You must! How can you not? That's right,

    PINKSTOCK 2008 ALMOST HERE!  Cool  Pardon my yelling but I just can't contain myself. Now I am stuck on Bold and I can't get it off.

    Michelle-I believe there are some ladies coming from another board that don't post here. Of course we want to meet you.We are all sisters. Get on up to Ischua.

    Liz, will be arriving sometime Thursday.  It is a 10 hour drive and that is without stops or lunch so is going to take us 12-14. With DH back problems, he will have to have a break every 3 hours at least.  I want to be packed the night before and on the road early.  MB had said to call when I got there and she would come meet me at the hotel.  I can keep the food cool for the trip but would not want to try it overnight so will need to get that to MB.

    Hi gals,

    JUST saw this post---so know it is too late. But was reading back a few pages and didn't get to the page that says when and where this is---sounds like a blast though--can anyone share any info? Since it is prob going to happen soon, maybe this is something I can go to next year--from the few posts on the last 4 pages, sounds like it will be at a home w/ a big hill with a fantastic hostess! Hope everyone has a great time, and gets there safely! Party hearty!

    Hi MB...yes I am coming...can't wait to get there.  Will arrive on Thursday night or Friday morning (most likely Friday morning).  I am going to need the camper...we will squeeze in whatever you give us and I am going to get a tent for the kids.  Will be bringing my laptop and movies for them to watch outside and a few other surprises. 

    Back to work for me...sigh.

    Okay everyone, it's getting closer.  I need to find my suitcase and make sure I have everything "allowed" and not "allowed" in my carry on.  I do wish my airline would quit screwing with my flight!  Right now I might as well not even go to bed the night before.  LOL

    See you on the hill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Thanks, Nessie! I live in N.AL, but just found out about this a few days ago. We had plans already in place to go to Tunica, MS (casinos) and my DD would drive up from TX, with her kids, so we could have one stay with us for a few days (at our house, not the casinos..lol). BUT today my drs office called, and my liver panel was extremely elevated, so now I am having a CT scan this week, then see dr again on Monday. AARRGG. I think I need to find a deserted island that I can hide on, and no phone calls, tests, or doctors would be there! (Hmmm....MB's hill would work out...just kidding.).  But thank you for the invite! I think MB went camping with her family for a few days..she mentioned that earlier. So don't worry....she won't abandon everyone...lol. Just have a great time for those of us that can't be there with you!

    Take care,

    Kathy
