Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ranger1 Date: 29 Sep 13 - 08:09 AM Nope, it was the last weekend in Sept last year and will be again next year. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 29 Sep 13 - 08:49 AM From FSGW : "2014 Getaway Friday Sep 26, 2014 at 4:00 PM through Sep 29, 2014 at 11:00 AM" FSGW Have fun at your pre-Getaway gathering, everyone. I'll send along some nice small auction items when I see Terry. Maeve |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Jeri Date: 29 Sep 13 - 10:44 AM I think they get whatever dates the campground can give them around the same time. Unfortunately, the Portsmouth (NH) Maritime Folk Festival is always the last weekend in September. Last year, I decided in favor of the Getaway. Next year, it will be the PMFF. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Nancy King Date: 29 Sep 13 - 12:44 PM The Getaway dates are set according to a whole bunch of calendar factors, including camp availability, Jewish holidays, and some other arcane stuff. Maeve is right about next year's dates -- last weekend in September. Don't know yet about 2015. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,Update Date: 29 Sep 13 - 01:33 PM I fell over a case of beer - honest I hadn't touched a drop. Now I am sitting on an ice pack and whining. Everything hurts. That's my excuse for discontinuing the house cleaning effort. There will be clean sheets and towels. If cat hair is a problem, go away! SINS, very cranky at the moment. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 29 Sep 13 - 02:18 PM Sins! Do you need help? Maeve |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 29 Sep 13 - 03:00 PM Only if you have a sure cure for injured pride. LOL Stupid Stupid Stupid I'm fine. Just a bit bruised.Excedrin and ice work miracles. Thank you for the offer, Maeve. SINS |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 29 Sep 13 - 03:33 PM Arnica gel for bruising...glad you're ok. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Jeri Date: 29 Sep 13 - 07:51 PM I think you're supposed to fall over AFTER a case of beer. (Somebody had to say it.) Shut up, Jeri. (So you don't have to type it yourself.) I'm glad you didn't permanently damage anything. I'm still not sure I'll make it, but I don't mind cat hair anyway. You clean it up, and the little buggers shed extra to make up for it. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: kendall Date: 30 Sep 13 - 07:49 AM Cat hair? Well, I don't know about this; Jacqui just bought these jeans at Salvation Army and I don't want to sully them. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,SINS Date: 30 Sep 13 - 04:26 PM More high drama. Freddie came home wheezing, drooling and choking last night. Poor baby was very sick. Took him to the vet this morning and they are not sure but at least it isn't a mouse stuck in his throat. Maybe asthma. Maybe a respiratory infection. He got some meds. As soon as he was home again, he ate, fooled around and begged to go out. I think I'll kill him. With no sleep last night I stayed home from work and took a nap while the Welsh guests wandered the neighborhood, stirred up the dogs and had directions to my house forced on them by an irritated neighbor. They had upset the dog. heh heh |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 01 Oct 13 - 01:48 PM Well, the chimney cleaning guy who, as I remembered it, was supposed to come at 2 p.m. tomorrow will actually be there sometime between 3 and 5. So I haven't a clue as to when we might get on the road tomorrow. And yesterday Tom was pessimistic about getting between the car and your house...but that was after he had made the long trek (with two stops) into Newick's and before we found out they had a wheelchair available (which would have made that trek a breeze). We'll see... (Keep you posted.) Linn |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: ranger1 Date: 02 Oct 13 - 08:53 AM Well, lost Michael. He was reminded that he has a prior engagement that he committed to quite a while ago. He'd have more fun with us, though. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 02 Oct 13 - 09:00 AM Has Terry arrived? We need to chat when possible. Thanks, Maeve |
|
Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Jeri Date: 02 Oct 13 - 09:06 AM I won't be making it either. Too many things going on. Guys coming to look at where I need some home repairs means the fasting blood work I was going to do today has to happen tomorrow morning. I just have to figure out where/when to meet up with the Kendall, Jacqui & Claire in the Getaway trekmobile. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Leadfingers Date: 02 Oct 13 - 10:34 AM I am at SINS !! See PM maeve ! |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Oct 13 - 10:49 AM Sorry I'm not going to make it - too many lighthouses to find here on Long Island, and the weather is perfect. I'll see most of you Friday. -Joe- |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 02 Oct 13 - 10:52 AM Caught the PM and bunted it back, Terry. Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SINSULL Date: 02 Oct 13 - 11:18 AM All systems go. Should be about 12-15. We'll see. I am nursing a hurt leg - fell on Sunday. Actually using a cane at work and the elevator. Getting old and stupid is a bitch. SINS |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Bat Goddess Date: 02 Oct 13 - 01:52 PM I asked Tom a little while ago if we'd be there this evening and he's not confident of getting from the car to the house. So, as much as we'd BOTH like to see everyone, I guess it's just not going to happen. Tom had enough trouble getting from the easy chair back into his wheelchair a little while ago -- and he didn't have his whistle with him to call me, but I happened to come into the room at the right time. (Thank goodness!) I just ordered 4 referee whistles with lanyards so he can have them at pertinent places (and around his neck). Have fun! Linn |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: jacqui.c Date: 03 Oct 13 - 07:14 AM Another great evening chez SINSULL. Lots of good music - Kendall did a couple of the numbers he has been working on and he, Claire and I tried out the song we will be doing for the Getaway concert. Kendall left early - Claire and I stayed on, probably too late, but we were having fun! It was nice to spend an evening with the UK contingent. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: kendall Date: 03 Oct 13 - 07:47 AM My back was giving me hell. I'm dreading the 1200 miles trip this weekend. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: SINSULL Date: 03 Oct 13 - 08:49 AM Thank you all especially Claire and Jacqui for getting the meal out and Carol for playing clean up crew. The evening started with a jumper on the bridge and my aching leg. I apologize to anyone who was bitten or abused before I downed my second glass of wine (WHINE). Lots of wonderful music. At work so I can't post much. So good to see Tami, Charlie and Judy and meet Carl and Evan (?) Enjoy the Getaway all! SINS |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: Jeri Date: 03 Oct 13 - 12:15 PM Guys came to check out one door and wound up looking at a couple other things. The lab test I was going to do yesterday morning got done this morning. I'm looking forward to the Getaway, if I can get there... and if the flu shot I also got this morning doesn't make me feel like poo. It did last year for the first time in my life. I'm glad you all had fun. |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: maeve Date: 03 Oct 13 - 05:54 PM Wonderful Leadfingers just left our home, having proven in person what we suspected- he is a charming, kind, and talented fellow. Thanks for going so far out of your way to meet and have a visit with us, Terry. It means a great deal to us both. Thank you very much indeed for giving us Sarah Morgan's latest cd. The bottle of wine will be part of our celebration when TrueLove recovers from this fierce cough. What a privilege to meet a long distance friend face to face! Thanks to Terry, our auction donations are on their way to the Getaway, and Anne Mayo Muir will get a thank you note from us as well. You're a true gentleman, Terry. Please come stay with us another time. Maeve and Truelove |

Subject: RE: Pre Getaway gathering in Maine From: GUEST,SINSULL Date: 03 Oct 13 - 06:20 PM So I won't wait dinner for him. He can scavenge the fridge when he arrives - lots of goodies from last night. I will be in bed at 8PM. LOL Exhausted. Again, thank you all. It was a wonderful evening. Maybe next time, Maeve. SINS |
