Thank you to all my wonderful friends for the birthday wishes. We just had pizza at home, at least I didn't have to cook. When our birthdays fall in the middle of the week, we usually wait until...

WoooHoooo! Instead of waiting to leave on Thursday morning, we will be leaving Kalamazoo as soon as Bill gets off on Wednesday (God please let it be slow!), he gets a shower and we get in the truck....

Gigmaster,

I'm glad to see you got your rod back. I will be bringing my 5wt Scientific American rod and reel, so if anyone knows someone who wants to get into flyfishing-spouse, kid,...

Mike;
You could send Fudge. That would be better than you being there!!:twisted:

Jack! Shame on you! :eek:

Mike, I for one will miss your smiling face! And of course your...

Bob,
Usually for the Michigan Fish Ins, our meet and greet potluck is just finger foods, and munchies, sweets, that sort of stuff. Everyone brings their own drinks. Of course, when Joe the dough...

John,

I'm not the one who set this pony show up, you'll have to ask Jack on the time for the meet and greet. I was just being the mother hen and reminding everyone, because I was so excited...

Jack,
We will be leaving Kalamazoo in 179 hours, and 48 minutes and should get into Townsend about 5PM Thursday evening, depending on traffic, eating, and potty stops. :oops:

Everyone please...

T minus 33 Days and Counting! I can hardly wait until we all get together.

A gathering is anything "getting together". So when friends get together it's a "gathering" which is what Jack named it, not me! :D

37 days to take off for the "Gathering"!

I'll admit, I will be more than glad to have the MIFI be less structured. I'll still set up the pavillion, so we have a place to gather and touch base during the day. Although I think everyone...

Well, even if it ends up just staying a weekend thing, we would have time to plan so we could stay a week and enjoy the area better. I want to have a chance to visit as many waterfalls as my body...

Now dear, that's a lie! Most of what I've been talking about, what I want to do and see, is for next year when we'll be able to be there longer than a weekend. At least I expect to be there next year...

There are only eight weeks left until we all get together.

Hurry time, go faster!

I have just found out that Warren P.'s mother-in-law passed away this morning at 2AM. Please keep Warren and his wife Deb in your prayers.

Deb's Mom had been the cook for 10 years at the nursing...

We ladies don't need a stinking casino to lighten our men's wallets! That's what quilt shops, and antique stores are for!

Thanks Kaboom1 for the info on the Cherokee Fair. I found out from an...

Jack and John,

1: Sorry about the shout. I went to Gigmaster's website and listened to his music and HE'S REALLY GOOD!

2: John, if you want to set the pavillion up, you're welcome to it,...

It is now official, Gigmaster (Joel) will be giving us a concert on Saturday night at Dock's!

I've been communicating with some of the ladies, and it looks like we'll have somewhere between 9 and 11 ladies this time around. Among the activities the ladies like includes quilting, art,...

Gentlemen,

Please send me your wives names and email addresses! I'm trying to get a ladies day set up and I need your assistance.
Of course, you should understand that if you don't, I'll be...

Can we please have all the wives names on the "I'm coming" list? We know some of them, as the husbands included their names.

Ok, the rest of you guys, let Jack know your wives names! Or we'll...

Since we have so many ladies who are either quilters or artistic, we will definitely have to have a "ladies day" I suggest that Saturday would be a great day for that. That way we could have a...

Thanks for letting us know about this. Bill and I plan to make it up for this! Rusty did so much for all of us, when he started the fight for the AuSable. It's definitely right that we should...

Jim is a great man and a great friend.

This was a wonderful story and so well written I could "see" the river and the different "holes" you were fishing. I could even see you under that...

I got home on Sat. Dec. 26th and have been doing well. I went to the doctor's today, to have my blood tested and need to make a bit of adjustment in my Coumadin levels, but that's kind of normal...
