audrey .. i think about 30-some would do it! AND .. i'll be sure to gather an extra recipe from the other gurlz' snacks to send along to you too! you are so sweet and generous to send us cookies from New Mexico! what a sweetie pie! HA! the ones you sent me are LONG GONE!
p.s. gurlz .. you can never go wrong sending me COOKIES .. i tend to burn every batch i put in the oven!
AND .. if anyone wishes to bring along some extra FLOWER/HERB seeds for all the gurlz .. that would be swell too ... i will have little baggies of Freedom Valley Farm SUNFLOWER seeds for everyone!

from an e-mail i sent to the TRUE FRIENDS gurlz earlier today!
===================
A FEW OF THE GURLZ REQUESTED THE FOLLOWING INFO .. THEY JUS' DON'T WANNA' 'CAMP OUT'. SOOOO .. HERE T'IS GURLFRENZ:
HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS ..
Holiday Inn Express
102 Plantation Drive, Campbellsville - (270) 465-2727
YOU CAN GOOGLE "HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS, CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY .. . IF YOU WANT MORE INFO ON THIS HOTEL. IT'S ONLY A COUPLA' YEARS OLD. I'VE NEVER BEEN INSIDE IT .. BUT IT LOOKS NICE AND CLEAN .. VERY SAFE LOCATION (AS IS MOST OF KENTUCKY!) IT'S WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF A WALMART .. SMALL 'MALL' .. MOVIE THEATRE .. AND GOOD MEXICAN AND CHINESE RESTAURANTS AND SEVERAL FAST-FOOD PLACES TO EAT TOO.
IT IS TWENTY MILES FROM FREEDOM VALLEY FARM.
================================================
THE 'CABINS' IN GREENSBURG, KY. THESE ARE CUTE AND QUAINT .. UP THE HILL FROM THE GREEN RIVER .. SAFE, CLEAN .. I THINK TWO CABINS SLEEP TWO AND TWO CABINS SLEEP FOUR. I BELIEVE THEY HAVE A SMALL FRIDGE AND MICROWAVE .. BED AND BATH LINENS .. BUT DOOOO CHECK WITH CITY HALL (WHERE YOU RENT THEM) TO ASK ANY OTHER SPECIFIC QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE). THE NUMBER TO RENT THESE CABINS IS: Call Greensburg City Hall at 270-932-4298 (tell 'em: "FRANNIE SENT ME ... we're attending the Kentucky Gurlfrenz Gathering!")
THE CABINS ARE WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE OF OUR TINY LITTLE CHARMING TWO-BLOCK LONG 'CITY'. YOU CAN SHOPPE AT THE GREENSBURG ANTIQUE MALL (open until 4 p.m. Monday thruogh Saturday .. CLOSED SUNDAYS) .. OR THE DARLING 'PLAID PEACOCK' .. (CLOSED MONDAYS). SEE 'THE OLDEST COURTHOUSE WEST OF THE ALLEGHENY MOUNTAINS .. IT IS SOOOOOO DEAR!)
WALK AROUND 'OUT TOWN' .. IT IS QUAINT AND SWEET AND THE PEOPLE ARE FRIENDLY AND KIND.
=====
be sure to let me know if you will be staying at one of the above (i recommend the CABINS!!!!) and let me know what day you will be arriving
xo, frannie

I wish I could attend this one too, but that's the weekend that my inlaws are leaving to go back home. I hope you all have a great time. It sounds like a lot of fun.

saturday is kathy's autumn garland in the morning .. and luna's felted pin cushion in the afternoon. (i might have to limit the girls to two or three classes. jo might be able to conjure up a kit for everyone .. gonna' contact her and ask if she has a class limit.
i'll sign people up on a 'first-come/first'served' basis .. and make sure that EVERYONE gets at least one .. maybe two .. hopefully three classes of their choice. LET ME KNOW the saturday classes you want!! knowing us .. it will be about 11 or 12 before we even start a class on sunday .. gonna' have a big breakfast for everyone .. and you know uz gurlz when we get to lolly-gaggin'! xo

i started conjuring up a list of things you gurlz might want to bring .. i thought of a FLASHLIGHT .. since we'll be sleeping about 100 steps or so from the cabins .. AND .. wouldn't it be fun to take a MIDNIGHT walk in the woods with the coyotes!!!
i'll add things as i think of them! xo

i've started conjuring up a little list of things you MIGHT want to bring along with you.
if you will be sleeping ON the 'tree house' .. it is about 100 steps from the cabins .. soooo .. you might want to bring a flashlight .. in case you gotta' pee in the middle of the night! you are surely welcome to hit the edge of the woods for that little job if you so choose! and ef'fen ya' gotta' POOP .. well .. go a little deeper into the woods!
AND .. wouldn't it be fun to take a MIDNIGHT walk through the forest with the coyotes!
===
doooo bring a SLEEPING BAG and pillow to sleep upon! if you want to bring a COT to get a little up offa' the floor .. i do believe we'll have room for them too!
=
i have extra towels and washcloths .. but it might be a good idea to bring one of those too! you can use my toothpaste and i have plenty of shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotions and potions! bring along your favs if you want to!
=
snacks .. if you wish to bring some to share .. please do so ... if you bake cookies or muffins 'er sumpthin' ... to share ... pleeeeeeeeeze bring a copy of the recipe .. for everyone .. might need 30 or 40 copies! i'm gettin' lots of requests for recipes!
=======
we have an OUTDOOR shower .. in front of
god .. the gurlz ..
the birds ... the squirrels!
we have two bathrooms inside .. (delicate potties!!! ... i've told honey-hunk that i want two brand new ones installed before our gathering) .. and remember .. there is always the woods!!!
you might want to re-think having to take a bath/shower .. cuz' i'm sure there won't be hot water for everyone .. we will all stand 'down-wind' of each other .. and we can jus' scrape the top layer of dirt off our bodies .. i have lots of BRILLO! (it's only ONE NIGHT!)
===
if you can think of anything else you think might be a good idea .. jus' let me know and i'll pass your advice along!
=
remember .. you are free to bring antiques and hand-dids for our Saturday afternoon TRUNK SHOW! (don't let that term scare you .. it's just stuff you bring in suitcases and/or a 'trunk' .. to set up your 'show' .. easy to transport it that way!) you surely don't need a suitcase or trunk to show it outta' though!
=====
well .. i'm offa' this computer contraption until i think of sumpthin' else!
i'm very excited about meeting lots of you new friends .. and seeing lots of you olde friends again!
OH .. bring your CAMERA and JOURNAL too if you wish!
xoxo

My sister and I were talking and we think that a midnight tromp through the woods would depend on if someone has gone "to the woods" yet or not. Perhaps a little utility flag to mark the spot would be a good idea. Coyotes are one thing, but, um, poop is a whole other story.
Just a thought, but if we each brought a travel pack (or two or three)of Charmin', that would save your supply. Forty women would amount to a lot of tp!
If I think of anything else, I'll post it here.

I have an idea on where you are at. So glad to know of another Ohio Farmgirl :-) I am about 1 hr half from ya. We would love to have you come along. I am sure we can figure out something...if you can get to Columbus and then back home again....you may ride with us. The only problem is we are going down early on Saturday morning and will have to leave Sunday at 12:00 or 1:00 at the very latest. So if you would like to join us, let me know  From Columbus to Frannies is about 6 hours down.

Frannie- I should have put a big LOL at the end of my post!! (Well, not the tp part.) I was on the phone with Dayna when I read your post to her and we were just cracking up.
Have a great time adventuring your way to Columbus.

Someone mentioned that 40 girls would add up to a lot of TP, and a lot of poo too! Garsh! I am completely excited about this...better than Christmas! Have to go back and see what classes will be on Sat so I can see what i wanna do. I'm okay with first come first serve....I just wanna BE there!
