OT: For Fred, Gillian and other pun-lovers

Oh Joan!!

That is terrible!!!! I am finally accessing rctn on my own computer after over 2 months away, and this is the first post I have read.!!

Gillian back > I hadn't seen this one before and it is *great*!!!! Enjoy....

It's something like somebody scratching their nail on the blackboard, you know you will hate the noise, but you hear it anyway. That is a particularly baaaad one Joan lololol

Welcome home and I'm happy to be your first foray back into the group!!!! Now comes the fun of unpacking. Is everything okay on the home front?

As it happens, we are thinking of leaving Mid-May, returning the end of October. I want to explore Montana, North and Southe Dakota, revisit Wyoming; visit Idaho etc. probably go north of the border too, to places in Canada. It is fun planning, anyway.

Gill

And back to NH? I can hope! BTW, I still owe you the picture! C

Planning on it! I also need to check my pictures, and send them to you both. For the rest of you, I had a great time with Cheryl and BobbieV in New Hampshire. The omly sad thing was that Bobbie showed us the spanking brand-new LNS, and all I saw was a lovely large empty room. Next time, I can fondle floss, ogle charts etc.

Gillian

I'll be at that new shop on Friday for opening day!

Cheryl

k to NH? I can hope! BTW, I still owe you the picture!

Now, girlfriend, that is just plain mean!!!! Touch and drool for me too, would you?? Actually, I sat down and stitched all evening today. About a couple of hours or so, but my Claire Murray pillow is almost done!! Them I will start the Celtic Knot kit I showed you both for Mike and Aya's marriage.

Gill

Margaret St. John and I stared in the window on Tuesday while it poured!

I haven't picked up needle since this cold went to nasty, maybe tomorrow.

Cheryl

WooHoo! Then you can come see me or meet me at Nordic Needle this time through! :)))) And north of me is Fred. Gee, can I just come with you? Sounds like a wonderful trip!

Joan

I've visited quite a few of these areas - in Wyoming, the Tetons are a must - better in the fall with less people around. McCall in the center of Idaho is gorgeous too - beautiful cabins around Lake Payette - I never wanted to leave and come home! If you can you should try and see Glacier National Park and Waterton Park (in Canada) as well - the mountains are simply stunning. We lost count of wildlife when we were there - elk, big horn sheep, mountain goats, grizzy bears - it was fantastic! We then wandered north into Calgary and then west into Banff and points north such as Lake Louise, Jasper, etc. Again, beautiful beyond words. ENJOY!!

I'll second that. And Jasper, small as it is, has a LNS/YS/QS (all in one).
