Okay Ladies, I have the 24th off. So let me know who is interested in coming up to West Branch on Aug. 23 - 25. Come for the day or all weekend. We can decide on food and how many extra air mattresses we need. Shopping, paddleboat, lon walks, peace and quiet and sleeping in - what could be nicer?!

I am planning a get together Aug 23-25 at my cabin in West Branch. You can come Friday or Sat. and stay until Sun. If you have an air mattress and sheets & pillow - bring them. I have 2 extra beds. Dunesmom and I can go shopping and get food to make breakfast and dinner, unless we want to go out for dinner. We can all chip in for the food. There's an small outlet mall there. You can go paddleboating on the lake, go for walks, shop or sit on the deck and sip your beverage of choice. I think everyone should BYO beverage. I will bring water. We can hammer out where to meet up or I can give directions. -

Hi all,
I work until 12:30 on Friday, then me and Dunesmom gotta hook up and get going. I'm thinking that we will get to West Branch around 4:30-5:00. I've got me, Dunesmom, Lorraine, Marianne, Fishingquilter and I think one more. Let me know how many nights/days you will be there. We will have to share a few cell numbers. Do you think it would be better to meet at the Outlet Mall or a restaurant and follow me in? Let's talk about the food. Fishingquilter can bring a salad, the chicken one sounds good, Dunesmom can get chicken for fajitas, Lorraine is bringing eggs and bacon. I can bring some Greek Yogurt, and some vegs and a great dip for the fajitas, wraps too. Remember to bring your own beverages. I have a coffee machine. Is anyone bringing coffee? We might need some milk, cheese and fruit. Time out is no hurry.

Are you really off the beaten path, Colleen, or is there a street address we can plug into GPS? I'm going to say I can meet you at the Outlets at 4:30 on Friday. My cell is 269-251-0537. I have a number ending in 8426 for you. Is that your cell?

I can try be at the outlet mall around 4:30 p as well. My cell is 734-545-5978. I do have Lorraine's, but no one else's cell.
I plan to stay Friday -> Monday.
If you like, I could bring the coffee, milk, cheese and fruit. Any suggestions on the kind of cheese and fruit you would like?

Marianne, I'm going to call you and give you the address and you can meet us at the cabin. I think lowfat shredded cheese for the fajitas and eggs would be nice. Bananas, grapes, peaches, whatever. We will be leaving Sunday in the afternoon. I don't drink coffee, so Ladies, tell Marianne your preference on coffee. You might want to bring sugar and I would like 1/2% or FF milk, but that's only if everyone else wants it.

Thank you Colleen for sharing your place with us All. It is going to be a wonderful weekend!
