Crying here. Looks like I won't get there after all. I can not get a flight at a resonable price. If I spend 300 to 350 for ticket I will be broke and that is way to high. What happened to all the specials. Course they never do go to CO

So, what do you all think of eating at the Smokehouse at 11:00, then ambling across the street to Nuts & Bolts Needleworks? Easy to get to. Just come up Hwy 24, turn right at the 67 North light, go ONE block and turn left making a hard left to pass in front of Nuts. You'll see the Smokehouse on your left just catecorner across the street. Turn left at the stop sign to go in front of the Smokehouse, then left into their parking lot. Or, you can park along the street in between the two places.

ok everyone keep your fingers crossed for me. Hubby gave me a new limit so I might still get to come. Only I will probably have to come in on the 15th. saying a prayer here.

I'm praying, I'm praying. Hope you get to make it. You're right, they never seem to have much in the way of flight specials to CO. Check with Travelocity - I frequently have good luck with them.

:thumbup: Doing the happy dance with you :thumbup:
That was a pretty good deal. Where are you going to do your summer sale? On the board?

If you can get to CS you could ride up with my daughter and me. She's at Peterson Air Base. Unless you have other stops you want to make. Up to you.

Were you going to start a blanket group? Can't remember the name of it now. It wasn't Binky. One of the groups for charity.

Are you flying into Colorado Springs or Denver?

Are any of you members of The Quilt Show with Alex Anderson and Ricky Tims? They tape the show in Colorado Springs. Maybe you could catch a taping of the show. That would be a fun thing to do as a group. Not sure how far LaVeta is from Colorado Springs but Ricky has a studio, gallery and retreat there if you want to check that out. Just throwing out ideas. Wish I could come.
