start of the Meet on Wednesday,


Take Care,  Canepole

Hi everyone after talking with Canepole and he talk to Rod Tender we are going to have a little change on Thursday night
Some of you may know that Milda is getting Married to A young man name Josh who is the army so the wedding they planned has been delayed .So we are planning a bridal shower for her on Thursday night after supper it not a big thing just some fun and a chance to pick on her. Anyone has any question or ideas list it here or ask Deb or Tom. But Please keep it on here as She does not go here so we want to surprise her. Thanks Deb

Getting Close. You kids have fun!

Due no internet at home, i have not been able to check in...it is with VERY sad regret that i must say i can not attend the meet this year. Breaks my heart that i cant make it this year. Due to continued money issues and health issues...it just isnt do-able this year. I have found out that on top of everything else i am dealing with that I have MS as well and that explains why the heat effected me so badly last year and making me so sick. I wish you all a great meet and pray everyone stays safe. I sure will miss you all and miss your good cooking jerry.

I am very sorry to hear that, sweety...I hope you can make it next year...Ya'll have a grape time and I'll see ya next year!

thanks - i think if we could just my meds right i'd have less issues but i am pretty sure my camping days are done for and will have to start doing the motel so i have someplace to cool off when need be

I too am sorry to hear about your situation Cherie. But it is good to hear from you. I hope and pray things turn around for you and you can make it next year.

Sorryto hear that too, MG. I might be in the same boat financially. Got 2 sales in the next 3 weekends. to make enough to get up there.
Still got my Welch Motel reservations, but may have to change dates if I bring my lady friend.

Anyone know the latest weather conditions and water levels at Goose Island. Esp in the camping area.???

cory would like number 6 and amy says number 24 would be nice thanks

Just a few more weeks. We are planning to get in there on Monday afternoon. Can't wait to see you all again.

I sure hope the really hot weather moves away this year...I sure remember how tuff the camping is in that heat...Have fun & stay well, friends!

Hang in there MG.

At this point I can't afford to go either...as I gotta scrape up $600 for property taxes by the end of the month  

Here's 7 day forecast (HOT at the moment)...

Pete Hopefully this hot weather we are having now will pass and temps will be in the 70* come meet time. I'm bringing the walkin cooler this year just in case lol lol

Hope everyone can make it ( Steve,MG,Dave) hope things work out for you and you can make it.

Take care and God Bless

Right now, things are still up in the air about me coming to La Crosse. I will be alone if I do get there, I do have the funds. My lady friend now has 3 family members with medical difficulties and a last minute lack of funding.
I really would like to be there, but it may be better to just plan for next year. :>(
