I can easily travel as far as Minneapolis and Minot, and possibly further. I'm willing to pick up people that want to come along. I have a CRV that will seat four. It's supposed to seat five, but Harry ate one of the seatbelts when he was a pup.

P.S. I love St. Cloud. All the joys of the Twin Cities with a bit less hassle.

Yes I got you email and will respond shortly. Our schedule is tight, due to medical appointments but might be able to squeeze in a day or so.
Marie, off of 83. Just a note, July 4th is our holiday.

Hi! I just came home and this is beginning to sound like fun (I think)

We will be (if all goes according to plans) living IN St Cloud in July. We are planning on moving on the 26th of June. We have a few weeks to get settled and then Nita is coming for a visit July 21 to the 30th. We even have a small park (with a shelter that holds small groups) that is only 1/2 a block away.

I must be out of my mind, but I'm thinking that it would be fun to have a KT get-together on the last weekend of July. The main day being Sat. the 26th.

Ole joyful, would that work out for time, either on your way to MPLS or on the way back?

Just wait till Tom hears this!!! If you don't hear from me again, you'll know he found out! LOL

Ronf and I live about 1 hour and 15 minutes south of Minneapolis and might be able to meet up. Sounds like fun! (*o*)

I'll be a month later, traveling northwest parks, Aug 1-15.
ya'll have fun!

Judy, that's the first thought I had when I saw this post...wonder if Judy will be moved in by then??????

Phyllis, Yes and I think we should be fairly well settled by then. We want to be careful so it doesn't get out of hand and become too big to handle.

Joan how would that time be for you?

Oooooh, that sounds like fun, as I've never been to a KT get-together! My only problem is that my DD is due to deliver my 1st grandbaby mid-July . . . or whenever he/she decides to make an appearance. I can't miss that, so I'll be a last-minute-drop-in, if that's OK . . . keep me posted!

OJ, sorry, but we are filled for July with family reunion, SIL's visiting and my DS coming from Montana. Also 3 DS's and spouses.......all visiting or us visiting in July.
It would have been perfect tho, could have met up with you in West Branch off I-75. We're in the Oscoda area near Lake Huron.
Have a safe trip, Kathy G in MI

I'm pretty sure that the 26th'd be too late for me ... as I'm to attend a reunion of former Korea missionaries in NC ... I'm pretty sure the last weekend in July (I don't think that it's first in Aug.).

o j

Greetings northern states folks,

I have a get-together of some Canadian former Korea missionaries on June 20 and family reunion (Dad's side - they've had one annually for 110 years) on June 21.

Weekend of June 28 is free. But that may be too early for many of you.

July 5 is your big holiday weekend.

July 12 is Mom's family's get together at my brother's.

July 19 is free for me, I'm pretty sure ... but getting close to when I need to be in NC, the following weekend.

I'd planned to be back in London before going to NC, but if I were to go direct (which is somewhat closer), that weekend should be O.K.

I'm pretty sure that the Korea missionary reunion is the weekend of July 26 in Lake Junaluska, near Asheville, west end of NC, then plan to visit niece in Gainesville, GA, north-east of Atlanta, for a few days, as convenient for them, before returning to London.

Possibly visit Pooh Bear along the way, as I did last time, 3 years ago.

If meeting some of you as individuals, I'm thinking in terms of a few hours, perhaps meet somewhere for coffee, etc.

Possibly overnight, if convenient - I usually travel with sleeping bag, and couch will work ... even a piece of floor (preferably carpeted): I don't have an operable air mattress ... but I'm fairly sure that son may have one that I could borrow.

And, of course, I could spring for one! Rumour has it that moths fly out of Ed's wallet when he opens it.

Good wishes for an interesting week, with something new happening to keep your interest up ... or should that be, with you doing something new, to add some spice to life (yours as well as others')?

ole joyful

Any of those dates are fine with me. We have plenty of room for you, if you don't mind moderate (?) re-model mess and clutter.

I have a spare bedroom, den, and bathroom in the basement, complete with a twin size bed and an egress window. Also, within a couple weeks or so we'll have the two "bedrooms" (Office and Sewing Rooms) upstairs completed. We can always move the twin bed up there, or move the sleeper sofa in one of them.

Anyway, if you don't mind works-in-progress, and a big ole Harry-Dog, you're always, anytime, welcome here.

I'm a good cook, too! LOL

Thank you, Caroline.

I thought that ND was thinly populated, but ...

... I'm having a hard time finding "Larimore" on my map, among all of those locations shown on the map. It's an atlas with each state shown, one after the other, but no keys given to help locate cities.

Near what larger town should I look, please?

ole joyful

Caroline,

Found the city locator in the back pages of the Road Atlas.

I see that Larimore is close to the freeway, not far west of the air base.

ole joyful

Joyful, I could easily drive Dotmom down to St. Cloud. We'd love to meet you!
