Cheri T Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Flap flap bwak bwak! Interesting note: One of my PA classmates who is at the conference with me this week has 4 hens in their backyard in a coop. SHhhhhh....it it technically not legal in her town, lol. Only one neighbor can see, and they don't mind at all. Hm...it's legal where I live... Woohoo, can't wait for the meetup! April is a great month for getaways for me, lol. Although I could do without the 8 hours of lectures a day at the conference, harumph. It cuts into my scrapping time you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PBarnes Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I've got another question for you ladies. Originally, I had booked our meeting room for noon to 11 on Friday and 9-11 on Saturday, but since the majority are coming in on Thursday, do we want the room for all day Friday too? Or do we want to take Friday morning for shopping and sight-seeing (not our photo walk)? It will only make a little bit of difference in what we need to chip in for the room. With as many people as we have, it will be less than $30 either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SodScrap Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 I would think the room would be handy Thursday too, but it really doesn't matter to me...I'm happy to chip in for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 yeah, it may be handy to have it on Thursday also....but either way is fine with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PBarnes Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 I will go ahead and ask for all day Friday and check on Thursday availability. We're going to be in and out so much on Thursday afternoon, how about maybe just for evening on Thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mimes1 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Sounds Great! Will there be a lobby type place with tables like in St. Louis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're going to be in and out so much on Thursday afternoon, how about maybe just for evening on Thursday? Thursday evening will work. You're right, there will be a lot of in and out during the day and afternoon, but we might want a room to set up "Scrapping Central Command Center" as people are arriving. But if the lobby will accommodate a bunch of crazy women hugging a lot and laughing a lot, then that might do as well too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiles Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 OK, I have calmed down now from my moment of panic this morning when I realized all I need to do before a week from today...things are falling into place. I'm really looking forward to meeting you in real life! Pat, is it too far out for a hint on what the weather might bring? Cheri, I bet your DH appreciates you so much more after your conference!

PBarnes Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Gayle, yeah, it probably is too early to say what the weather will be. We are one of the areas that has had an exceptionally warm spring but it's moderated the last few days. It could be 80 or it could be 40. More likely in the 60s to 70s range.

PBarnes Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We have a heat pump and it's set on auto so if it gets too cold, it heats; too warm and the AC comes on. I love it. I'm sure it must be quite confused after the past couple of weeks though. Speaking of weather, we're in an area for possibly very severe weather today. It's thundering and raining right now but I don't think any thing severe right now. More to come later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do NOT miss midwest weather. But I'll endure it for the sake of fun and friends and family. See y'all soon!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiza126 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 We just had lots and lots of rain in my area. And more on the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angleigh Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 yeah, we were just out at the boys baseball games and they called them off and told us all to head home.

PBarnes Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 We ended up getting lots of rain, lightning and thunder, but nothing severe - thank goodness. I hope Cheri and family is safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheri T Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Safe and sound, if a little water-logged. Lots of rain, some thunder and lightning. Mom (in southwest Iowa) has a bit of water in one room in the basement, which is not too unusual during this kind of weather. Despite puddles and possibly more rain, we are headed out to Reiman Gardens today to see the brand new features for this year - LEGO! They have a different theme every year. Last year was insects with giant bug statues everywhere, and this year is huge Lego creations imitating nature. There are bees, butterflies, flowers, and even a lawn mower, lol. The artist is in town for the opening weekend and we want to go meet him and see all the creations. It'll be like mini-Legoland Ames! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
