CABIN FEVER

COUNTRY CUZINS AND CITY SISTERS
GATHERING
at FREEDOM VALLEY FARM
KENTUCKY
Friday, February 15
Saturday, February 16

ya' gotta' PLAY HOOKEY .. ef'fen you work .. and if you have kids that need tendin' ..
time to call on those grammies, and friends to 'do ya' a little favor' of watchin' over them whilst you
'run away' for a coupla' days of fun! ...( of course -- promise a return favor!)
cuz' this is a FRIDAY/SATURDAY gathering!
AND .. to attend this one .. ya' gotta' sign up for BOTH DAYS ..

Kiss those 'sweethearts' goodbye for a few days and head
for a fun weekend gathering of 'gurlfrenz'
t'wixt and t'ween the rolling "hills and hollers" in central-Kentucky!

Freedom Valley Farm
634 Brushy Road
Green County, Kentucky

here's the 'plan' as it stands right now ...

Meet at Freedom Valley Farm at about 10 a.m. (fast time) .. that would be 'eastern time'!
(i'll have pb&j sammies waitin' for ya'!)
We'll hang out for about an hour .. then head for GREENSBURG

we'll hit 'glovers' station' and the
Plaid Peacock for a little 'shoppin'.
Then down the road to Cobble Stone Farms
(you're gonna' love all these places!)

THEN .. we'll head back to Freedom Valley for a little 'sittin' and sewin'
and gittin' all gussied up for a mos' wunnerful evening event!

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
will be visiting our town!!!
I believe a little sumpthin' special is being planned at Lucy Tuckers .. along with a tour of our historic village too!!!

I'll know more about the evening events soon and will let ya'll know times and dates and more info ... HOWEVER .. there were be very LIMITED reservations available .. and if you make your plans right away and know you can join us .. you'll have to get your reservation and ticket $$$ to me IMMEDIATELY .. soon's you hear all the 'particulars'!!!

The BESTEST time to visit 'our town' is when we are having one of our fun events and celebrations .. and THIS is your OPPORTUNITY!!!!

This one-man touring production about Abraham Lincoln is from the viewpoint of his law partner,
William Herndon, in Springfield, Illinos. Billy Herndon was born in Greensburg, Kentucky.
The play will be at the Greensburg Presbyterian Church.

On Saturday .. we'll get up early cuz' i have a 'surprize' day planned for everyone!
REMEMBER .. you HAVE to have attended on Friday!!!!
If you can't make both Friday and Saturday .. i'll be having another gathering before 2008 is done with!

IF you have to head back home on Saturday .. you can do so after our fun day .. AND .. if you can
hang out another night .. we'll get up and have a big breakfast .. a walk in the woods (if it's not toooo cold!)
do a little 'hand-sewin' .. then hug our fond farewells until next we meet!

We will have some fun games and prizes too!!!

E-mail me if you can attend both Friday and Saturday .. and let me know if you will also be staying Saturday night .. so's i can conjure up some Sunday 'sewie' kits for everyone!

Give yourself a VALENTINE TREAT
.. take time for YOU!
Join other ya-ya's and make warm memories!

e-mail me soon's you know these dates are good for you and you can join us!

p.s. remember .. in these teeeeensie cabins, we only have ONE guest room and THREE guest beds .. we will have a 'drawing' when everyone gets here for the three beds .. the rest of us .. we'll camp out in sleeping bags on the floor!
I'm pushin' a hundred years old and i'm 'young at heart' and am willing to 'camp out' with you!

IF honey-hunk heads for the hills for some 'winter camping' .. that will free up our King Size Bed for eleventy-twelve of you!

sure hope you can all make it to our fun gathering!

xo, frannie

gurlz .. i need to be hearing from ya'll ef'fen you want to join us for this fun event. i 'think' the "LINCOLN" play is about $15. we might be able to get reservations for dinner at Lucy Tucker's (that would be about $12.50) .. and the 'reception/tour' might be a few dollars also. SAVE THOSE PENNIES .. TREAT YOURSELF!!! YOU DESERVE THE BEST IN LIFE!

also gonna' have another fun 'evening' .. here at the cabins that you are all invited to .. see ROSE PRESSY topic heading for more info. xo, frannie

The cost sounds pretty reasonable...I could probably "swing" that Of course, my concern is paying in advance for the Lincoln play...esp w/ it being winter and the weather is unpredictable....I know that you will fill me in as you know more info on stuff. Anyhow, I have the dates on my calendar, I am so excited!

I am also planning on making little goodies for everyone, once you know the exact number on who is coming

I would sure like to Frannie, but I'm taking the first Friday of February off for our long weekend at Pleasant Hill, so I'm just not sure if I can do another day off so close. My boss has a heart attack!!!

Yes, yes I want to go! Sorry about that post. Don't know what happened to the one where I was jumping up and down with excitement at finding you and this site and the rag chillun. I am a dolly stitcher and felter and new sheep tender and want to meet others close by or not. All I need is the details and I'm there.

So glad that you will be joining us Luna...I am looking forward meeting all of you who are coming :-)

On another note, Frannie, did you get my one e-mail about the vintage heart pincushion? Hopefully soon I can adopt one of the rag chillun's.

Hi Frannie :-) No worries. I know that you have been gone having fun in DC but I have seen ya "check" in on here, so I was not sure if you were also checking and reponding to messages, etc. I may be also be interested in that apron w/ the hankie pocket too or the Shaker repro star pincushion, I am still pondering on that. Yea, it is the little heart with the dark colored lace on it w/ a bow. Just let me know when you get time

Hope others can make it, but if we have a small group of us, it will still be a lot of fun :-)

Yes, I surely do know where that house is, but didn't know who lived there. I have been to the Sugarbucket too. Another friend from Rineyville took me there shortly after I got here. Have not met Kathy though. Would love to. Absolutely drooooool when I go in the shop.
