| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/16/2008 5:13:03 AM | I'm just curious how many people are going now? I know robbie had to cancel due to an unexpected large truck repair bill(and he did remove himself from the sign up list). But TIM and dodgeboy??? If someone says they are going to be there and then just disappears...well...they lose a lot of respect in my books!! At least let the person on the hook for the accommodations know where your standing!! How hard is it to be considerate?
Now, for the charcoal BBQ's, should we all just chip in for some charcoal instead of everyone wanting to use the BBQ's bringing their own? I know I'll have no use for them after this event. | |

| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/16/2008 8:18:52 AM | Alot of people have cancelled it seems .. Robbie, dodge boy , tia, tim .. looks to be a much smaller crowd , which is fine by me , just tis funny .. some the same people that cancelled were the ones that wanted me to set this up for this particular weekend. Maybe it is not too late for MOI to cancel her chalet and Maple and moi bunk with chef 69 .. he has a large chalet booked and all by himself.
With so few people I guess we will do our Potluck either in my chalet or chef's .. also we have a big bag of charcoal .. someone wants to pick up a small bag to go with it it should be fine for sunday nite . I love charcoal BBQ anyway .. bit more work but that cool. We have lots of starter fluid!
someone wanna bring paper plates lol? | |

| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/16/2008 7:10:51 PM | I knew what I was risking when I booked the chalet, but I've been working waaaaay too much since January and really need this vacation. Here it is after 11 and I'm still at work!!!!.
And Maple, as far as the naked wandering goes....could you at least wait til I've had my first cup of coffee in the morning????

Tim wasn't sure if he's make it I had sent her a private email stating I wouldn't know for sure till the last minute and that it doesn't look good. I didn't remove myself from the listng as I was trying mybest to be able to swing going..I failed in that attempt.

| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/17/2008 6:07:54 AM | Well, since chef didn't have time for the cheesecake, I guess I'll bring some kind of dessert. I can't bake so it will be bought. I'll check out the cheesecakes..but no guarantees.

| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/17/2008 6:23:02 AM | I knew Tim was still hoping to go....too bad... But I hope folks understand that thay can still show up, even if they haven't officially signed up. The more ALWAYS the merrier, and there will be so shortage of spare beds. | |

| Weekend at the cottages! May 17th and 18th Posted: 5/19/2008 4:46:51 PM | There, now that I flossed all the bugs out of my teeth and got a little rest, I can now post.  I thought the weekend was great!!! The weather co-operated enough yesterday to enjoy then canoes. The only real downer was the flies, which seemed to be immune to smoke, but still a great time had. 
What a wonderful place that was. I'd definitely go there again. Only 7 of us but apparently the right 7. Also had a visit from New Dawn and Nfldsnowball. | |
