By tomorrow morning, I'll be on the road. DH and I go to the upper NE corner of Oregon (Snake River/Hell's Canyon) and meet up with a group of friends for a week or 2 of camping and fishing, and yes, a few drinks.:P :thumbup: Then we'll come down to a place near Baker City and go looking for gold. :thumbup: :thumbup: I'll be away from here, missing you all and missing my quilting!!!! I'm taking my sewing machine in for it's yearly maintenance......so MAYBE tonight I'll get everything packed!!! LOL

Have a wonderful safe trip!

Have a great and safe trip. Sounds like a lot of fun--especially looking for gold. I've been wanting to go South to that diamond place and look for diamonds but I'm probably too old and decrepit. We're going to Tx soon to visit #1 stepson and family for a few days then to Arkansas to Marshall Dry Goods. That was both hubby and I can have the vacation we want. LOL

BOY - am I jealous of your going to Marshall's!!!!!! I have a girlfriend that lived near the diamond place.......she's in her 70s (was early 70s while living there) and she said it was so easy! Like walking in a field. Course, she didn't get anything!!! :roll:

Have a great trip - sounds relaxing!

Jingle 05-18-2010 11:09 AM

Have a safe trip. I found years ago vacations are misnamed, I worked hard before and after, would have been more relaxing to stay home. What I prefer now.

Be Safe and have a GREAT time!

Gramof6 05-18-2010 12:49 PM

I am going to miss you but I hope you & your DH have a wonderful, safe, fun trip! Do relax once you reach your destination. Getting ready for a trip is the most tiring for me. Be ready to stitch up a storm when you return.

marsye 05-18-2010 12:53 PM

Your really gonna miss me!!!!! :lol: Have a great trip and send us a postcard! :thumbup:

Melody 05-18-2010 12:56 PM

Happy camping. The Snake River is beautiful and so is the country around it. Have a great time and be safe.

I walked many fields when I was young and growing up on the farm. I'm not sure my arthritic hip joints could take it now and I don't think my one-legged hubby could do it at all.

CarrieAnne 05-19-2010 04:22 AM

Oh, hope you have LOTS of fun!
