Hey Frannie,
Just wanted to be sure you got my email. Catherine & I won't be able to come this time. Her FIL had 4 (!!!) heart attacks last week & is still in the hospital. Understandably, hubby needs her at home. Guess we'll have to plot another course. You girls have lotsa fun!
Blessings,
Rhonda

Thanks Frannie! Poor Cat just emailed me this morning. FIL has had yet another attack. Things are not good. If you think of her send up a little prayer or two? I'll give her a hug from you.

prayers going heavenward!
p.s. did cat ever tell you the story of her visit to Crooked Tree Hollow .. where she sat up all night finishing up my marvelous 'tombstone angel' .. and in the wee hours of the morning .. my CAT .. jumped up in her lap and scared the beeeejeeezuz out of her .. she jumped .. 'pooper' (the name of our cat!!) fell and took some of cat's skin along!
here's the magnificent angel that cat taught .. one of my very most fav dolls ever taught at crooked tree hollow . .and we had some PHENOMENAL doll teachers ..

Frannie and friends
Just wanted to let yall know that I got my ticket for the Gathering and can't wait. I've been dragged down the last week or so with some legal issues with my ex and I'm gonna have to take an unexpected trip to NJ to settle it out. Drag of drags but must be done to insure peace in my little chosen corner of the universe--beautiful peaceful Kentucky. I will be takin my stitching with me and hope to get something done in between. I will be back!

Amy, I did get a comfirmation email the day I ordered my ticket. But do they send the ticket in the mail? Or do we pick them up over there? Dont think I even ask about that.

Joy - That is what I am thinking about too...I thought to my understanding it (the ticket) was going to be sent to my address as well as a confirmation sent to my e-mail.
Not sure why I did not get an e-mail, she said she sent me one on the 16th or 18th when I called the 2nd time....I figured she just mistyped my e-mail or something....she also mentioned their e-mail server has not been working right. I then e-mailed her Friday of last week(with the address she provided me, still no return message, so I don't know.

GURLZ .. decided to post here too .. cuz' i want to make sure you all get this message.
bring with you to our cabin fever gathering a favorite POEM written out (you only need one copy .. but if you want to share it with the other girls .. bring 7 copies!
SATURDAY, February 16th will be our 'WINTER BLUES' shopping trip in Bardstown. WEAR BLUE!!! There will be a prize for the best BLUE outfit (voted secretly by all the girls!) We'll play some fun 'shopping' games that day too!
I'll make a reservation for us to all have lunch at Lucy Tucker's on Friday .. so be here as close to 10 a.m. FAST (Eastern) time as you can! That will give us an extra hour .. because Greensburg runs on 'slow' (central) time!
if you want to bring a 'treat' to share while we are up talking all night .. you can do that too if you wish.
robin is bringing a big potta' chili .. i'll have cornbread and salad to go with it. pleeeeeeze let me know if you have any 'dietary' restrictions! (most meals we'll eat out .. but some here).
any questions, jus' let me know. i promise lots of fun and friendship! xo, frannie

Hiya'll
Looking forward to the gathering and wondering about a coupla things. You probably posted it this info but my brain is addled by legal nonsense and I've forgotten. What are the sleeping arrangements for Friday and Saturday? Are we pooling to Bardstown and around Greensburg? I love the idea of buying little gifts for each other since I won't have time to do much before I get there. I'll bring something but likely not homemade...
O btw I got an email confirmation but no ticket. I understand we are on a list.
Was there any damage to Greensburg and Bardstown in the storms? I'm in a non media zone mostly and only get news by phone. Hope everyone is okay.

Luna darlin' .. there are 'three beds' in the tiny upstairs STRANGER ROOM .. they are YOURS, AMY's and JOY's. you'll be 'cozy' (uhhhhhhhhh .. CRAMPED) up there .. but it's jus' for sleeping .. Robin and her sister and friend will sleep on the 'cots' kinda' spread out here and there downstairs. ONE guest bathroom to share .. i've got lots of towels and lotions and potions .. jus' bring your toothbrush and scivvies! No dressers or closet upstairs for hangin' stuff .. you kids will have to live outta' your suitcase ... but the gurlz never seem to mind that. (did i mention the room is small?) (hey .. i'll take a pic of the 'stranger room' to show you ahead of time!)
Robin offered for her and friends to stay at the 'cabins in town' .. i wouldn't hear of it .. gosh .. i've had a DOZEN girls stay here and we jus' flopped where we found a spot and had a BALL!
I don't think we need 'tickets' .. jus' reservations .. and we definitely have those! (i'm on the arts council and have had a hand in pulling parts of this event together .. decorated our Historic Jeremiah Abell Log Cabin .. and will be the 'guide' on Friday night (can't do their Saturday night .. cuzzzzzzzzzz .. yes! we will be spending our WINTER BLUES shoppin' day mostly in BARDSTOWN. Saturday morning, we're going to our local little Country Club .. nooooo .. don't get EXCITED .. nuthin' FANCY .. jus' good 'home cooked breakfast'! THEN .. we'll amble up to Campbellsville to our own Pamela's BEHIND THYME shoppe which she has recently re-done! you're gonna' love her .. she has a little special surprize planned JUST FOR US!! (even I don't know what it is!) THEN .. we'll drive the back-roads through Lebanon to historic BARDSTOWN .. where our first stop will be SUGARBUCKET's ... again .. you're gonna' LOVE kathy and her shoppe .. SURPRIZE there too! (gosh .. i have such great friends here!!) .. oh .. and did i mention that on FRIDAY when we go to that darling Cathy Murray's Cobblestone Farms .. she, toooooooooo .. has a 'surprize' planned for all of us!
After visiting at SUGARBUCKET'S on Saturday .. we'll roam the streets and shop the shops. At that time .. i'll let you all know some 'options' we can do in Bardstown .. and we'll have a fun day touring the town's pioneer log cabin village and My Olde Kentucky Home if you wish to. I 'think' Kathy told me that the MUSEUMS are closed for renovation right now. HA! an excuse for you to come back again! There is a trolly town tour to the famous Heaven Hll Bourbon distillery .. that is an option too .. but not my personal fav. There are a couple DARLING children's stores in Bardstown if you wish to pick up something precious for a little one!
DINNER .. i haven't decided about yet! We can eat in Bardstown (lots of GREAT restaurants there) .. we can amble back to Campbellsville for dinner at a yummy mexican restaurant .. buffet style (what honey hunk and i refer to as 'dollar gobble' restaurants .. chinese restaurant .. we can all go to a movie that evening .. OR .. (and my FAV option) is to get back home in time for dinner and to attend: THE LINCOLN JAMOBOREE .. in Hodgenville, KY (next town over from me) and the town where Abraham Lincoln was born!!! here's a little info about Lincoln Jamboree .. and i don't think there is much a 'better' representation of 'kentucky' than this! (WE LOVE TO GO THERE!!)
The Lincoln Jamboree
The Lincoln Jamboree, 2579 Lincoln Farm Road , Hodgenville , KY 42748 , (270) 358-3545. Joel Ray Sprowls, owner, producer and emcee (I SWANEE .. I THINK JOEL RAY IS ABOUT 207 YEARS OLD!!!) has been bringing family entertainment to the area for 51 years! Billed as "Hodgenville's own Grand Ol' Opry," the entertainment takes place every Saturday night year-round, with local and regional performers topping the bill. All seats are reserved at $8, with showtime at 8 p.m. each Saturday. Joel Ray's Restaurant is adjacent to the Jamboree.
SUNDAY mornin' .. we'll all get up and cook breakfast together (unless you like BURNT BREAKFAST!) .. take a morning walk in the woods (weather and 'bodies' willing). Then .. we'll have a fun little 'dolly-making' class (i'm conjuring up the dolly bodies right now!)
We'll have pb&j sammies (can't BURN those!) for lunch before our fond hugs and kisses farewell .. until we meet again.
There was no noticeable damage that you will see. Some buildings were flattened or blown away .. but off the beaten path. I think Bardstown was spared completely.
I have a van that seats 7 or 8 .. sooo .. i'll be your 'limousine' for your entire visit here! (gosh .. better get all the antiques outta' the back of it a-fore you kids get here .. or you'll be sittin' in a rockin' chair on your ride!)
You might want to let loved ones know my address and phone number in case they wanna' reach you. If you don't know it .. e-mail me.
Feel free to bring a little sumpthin' for everyone if you wish (there are 7 of us) .. but definitely not necessary!
I 'hope' to conjure up an 'unburnt' cake and cookies and valentine candies in case you have a 'sweet tooth'.
Any more questions .. jus' let me know. Most of all .. we're jus' gonna' have FUN and FRIENDSHIP!!

p.s. if the girls prefer .. after all the 'activities' .. we can come back to freedom valley farm .. and order pizza .. cook up some spaghetti .. get in our jammies .. and sit and sew (we can get a jump on those dollies .. OR .. if i get my buttinski to gear .. and pull together some kits .. we can make some pin cushion make-do's. i'll let you kids decide. xo

amy .. will your honey-man deliver you there before heading for Nashville? you know .. we have some very nice 'cabins' in the town of Greensburg if he decides he wants to hang in the area. he can stay here too .. HA! if he dares!!
i'll give you my cell phone number .. and everywhere we go will be within a two block radius on friday .. we'll start at the big antiques mall .. BIG building right across from the olde courthouse .. you CAN'T miss it (called the Woodson-Lewis building .. but it has GLOVERS STATION ANTIQUES on it .. remember .. it's just a two block town! Next, we'll probably head for Plaid Peacock (one block from Glovers Station .. and then to Lucy Tucker's for lunch .. right next door to Plaid Peacock. We'll always tell the ladies in the shoppes where we are going NEXT .. so you jus' have to say you're hunting down Frannie and Friends. They will find me. HA! they have before!! Such sweet ladies ...
a sweet story about the sweet ladies! The first year i was living in Kentucky .. before honey hunk moved here .. we had an evening event in town .. my sugars dropped low and everyone was real worried about me .. i slurred: CHOCOLATE!! GIMME CHOCOLATE!! Well, within moments i was up and hoppin' about as if nuthin' had happened. The gurlfrenz continued to worry about me .. knowing that i was living alone down in the 'holler' .. and they called me the next day ... there was no answer .. they started all calling all around town to see if anyone had seen me or heard from me. soon they had lotsa' people looking for me. when they couldn't find me .. two of the Plaid Peacock ladies, Mimi and Peggy Jones .. put a 'GONE HUNTIN' sign on their door .. locked it .. and drove the 25 mile round trip to and from my home .. trying doors and windows of the cabins and trying to rouse me. By the time they got back to town .. THERE I WAS!!!! smilin' and all happy! (i'd had an early morning meeting with the Homemaker's Extension Service .. and we'd left real early for another county.) And the neighbors up the hill from us (precious Glen and Mary) ALWAYS called me EVERY morning for that entire year before our house sold in maryland and hank moved here .. to check to make sure i was o.k.)
you gurlz are gonna' love the lovey-pies here!
p.s. i think the lady who was going to e-mail you .. her computer is constantly on the 'fritz' . you didn't get an e-mail confirmation .. cuz' .. i told her she needn't contact you all because i would let you know we all had our reservations.
HA! the other night at the Rotary Club .. our MAYOR said to me: 'Frannie .. i'm hearing that ladies keep calling for reservations to our One Man's Lincoln .. and they are all saying "we're with Frannie"! Sooo ... even the MAYOR knows you have reservations! not to worry darlin'!

Frannie....honey-man Tim will be dropping me off, then he will go straight to Nashville from there and will stay w/ a couple of his buddies. Maybe next time, I can get him to stay <wink>
;-)
I do have your cell # and your home #(and address)....I would just need the numbers for the other places....yeah, I am sure that I will not miss ya, be really easy to find.
Thanks for letting me know on the confirmation thing...even though I knew I was good to go after we talked (your one message/e-mail).....watchin' out for us :-)
That will be the common phrase when we are down there...."We are w/ Frannie"
Workin' on more crafty goodness today. And I am looking into making a MJ Chillover treat...have to find a way to make it cooler friendly for the 5-6 hour trip to your place....I may just make something else, will see.
