Thank you NMgirl. Your post has clarified everything for me. I really appreciate it. I understand how it is done and I want to participate in the Junk Train. It sounds like it is really a lot of fun to join in. I guess I will do both!!! The more junk the merrier! Thanks for taking the job as coordinator again. I think the guidelines are very clear as to what is expected from the participants. So whenever you give the GO signal, I will sign up.

Bright 199 is right - I haven't seen any wish lists, either. I know we can't guarantee that wishes can be met but it would be nice to get some ideas. If it was already posted, sorry, I missed it. I missed the chat room, also. DH and I were in the cellar/crawlspace wrapping a frozen water pipe with a heating cable and insulating it. I was there from 7:30pm to 10:15pm Saturday night and he stayed until it thawed - I was already in bed at that point. We (currently) have running water!!!! Anyway, it would be good to have some ideas. Thanks, Colleen

Boy, Kirk & Robert...looks like you both hit the JACKPOT..Miscellaneous assortment of mail and parcels piled in the aisle of a baggage car and requiring removal before the mail in the stalls can be "worked"...that's RR lingo! LOL! Looks like you've both kept that train a-rollin'! kirk...your blue bottle tree looks BEAUTIFUL in the snow even w/that "orange thing-y" hanging in it! LOL! Good to see JT pics, too! Looks like Campbell had a bear-able time! robert...nice salvagable stash, too! (>even though the pkg suffered a head-on collision! Kirk, maybe ? you can post & link this to nmmexico's original "Junk Train 2011 has left the station!" thread...so that your post here w/pics doesn't get lost on down the line...more RR lingo! This is GREAT fun! Jeanne S.

I wanted to find something for her to wear for her Harley excursion and since I can't sew worth a darn, I looked at doll clothes at the dollar store. The top and little jeans are attached. I had such a blast with her. She was a great excuse for taking pictures. I just wish I could share the pictures with my mom, she would have loved them! Of course this isn't my first time taking pictures of odd creatures. Here are a couple of pictures of the corruption of Winnie the Pooh. The first one is of Moose and Blackie getting Pooh to try a beer. Notice how sweet and innocent Pooh looks in this picture. Here is the complete corruption of Pooh including three girlfriends for the guys. I had an MSN group for people in Wisconsin and we used to have roadtrips where we would meet somewhere for the weekend. A few of us rented a cabin on a lake and I brought along Blackie, our group mascot. Then I found Moose at a rummage sale nearby. (Am I the only one who goes to thrift stores and rummage sales when I'm on vacation?) I actually bought them child size Harley tee shirts and a Harley visor for Moose and a biker kerchief for Blackie (notice the feather earring in Blackie's ear too). At the cabin we rented, someone left behind a Winnie the Pooh toy. He hung around a little to long with Blackie and Moose and was never the same again! Apparently I'm not the only weirdo who rummages on vacation. My friend, who collects cat stuff, got the three cats at rummage sales and had them in her car. They became the biker chicks for this photo op. he-he
