Third week in April would work for me, just as long as it's after Easter, working as a church secretary I never can get time away during Easter week.
I'm really excited about the chance to come see you and your lovely home! |

I can make it the 3rd weekend; in fact I can make it any weekend except Easter, of course. Don't worry about a bed for me. I can sleep on the floor in a sleeping bag.

i've decided to wait for SUMMER VACATION when my grandson's are out of school for them to meet ... sooooooo .. i've checked my April calendar .. and here are the dates i came up with for a CABIN CREEK KENTUCKY FARMGIRLS GATHERING:
FRIDAY, APRIL 21 - MONDAY, APRIL 24. (if there are some travelling dates .. and most especially if you are coming to Louisville Airport (which is a two hour round-trip from me) .. i can pick everyone up at the airport ONCE on Thursday, April 20 .. and do a ONE-TIME trip to take you all back to the airport on Tuesday, April 25 ... sooooooo .. all you 'flyers' will have to try and figure out how to get to the airport at about the same time.
When i lived in Maryland, we were only 15 minutes from the airport .. so i could do lots of back and forth trips .. in the 'country' .. more planning-ahead has to be done.
Friday morning after breakfast .. we can head for town to shoppe in our sweet Glovers' Station Antique Mall .. visit our historic Courthouse and go by city hall and 'meet the mayor'! we can have lunch at the adorable tea room in town: Lucy Tuckers!
then we can wander over to our beautiful green river lake. have a darling shoppe to take you to (Beehind Thyme) .. and there is a fabulous historic log home by the lake too! AND .. we have a 'beach' .. so you can 'dip your toes' into the freezing water!
And Friday evening ... we'll go to our fun "Jammin' on the Square" .. where we all gather at the town square to hear local musicians pickin' and grinnin'!
On Saturday ... after breakfast .. our town is having a Home and Garden Show which would be fun to attend .. and then we can visit Lincoln's birth cabin on the way to Glendale (about 25 miles away) .. cute antiquing town!! and FABULOUS QUAINT COUNTRY restaurants (2 to choose from!) .. and Saturday night .. we can all go to the Lincoln Jamboree! (our local .. 'not as grande' Grande Ole Opry .. but i swear . i've been to the big'gun in Tennessee and i like ours even better!) Abraham Lincoln's BIRTH CABIN is about half a mile from the Jamboree too! Talk about foot-stompin' music! We love the Lincoln Jamboree!!!
Sunday can be our 'day of rest' ... We can hang out at the cabins .. take walks in the woods .. lay in the hammock (if it's warm enough) .. eat, craft, talk and giggle all day and night long!
Remember .. i have only have one teeeeeensy guest room with three single beds ... (check out the pictures of the twin log beds in the "Cabin Creek Farm - Kentucky .. under A Farm of My Own") .. and a king size bed that a couple of you can snuggle into .. and i think i have a cot or two around here somewhere . that we can set up in the lower cabin (it's a very tiny room too!) or if the weather is great .. out on the porch!
sooooooo .. if you think you can join us .. let us know by posting here .. and also, please E-mail me.
cookin' .. i'm a lousy cook .. so ya'll better be good ones! it might be fun if we take turns preparing any meals we might have here ... a 'cast-iron' cookout in the firepit might be fun .. it could even be breakfast one morning!
i figure if we go to the events listed above .. the 'meals' we might be having here would be Friday breakfast .. then we'll take off for the day and probably have lunch and dinner 'out'. Saturday breakfast .. then again .. lunch and dinner out. Sunday breakfast lunch and dinner if we stay put!
I have a 'van' that seats about 8 ... snuggly! (and that includes me!)
i'll try and do this again this autumn .. so if you can't make it this time .. maybe next time. I think about SIX of us would be a 'comfy' number .. also .. this is a good number of friends to get together so we can all get to know each other better.
We do have some really cute cabins by the river in town .. they rent pretty cheap .. i think $45. to $65 dollars a night ... the $45. is for two and the $65 i think sleep four .. soooo .. if you want to come and bring a buncha' friends who could share expenses ... this would be a fun way to include more ... and we could all be together except for bedtime.
IF you think you want to come and stay at the cabins .. let me know right away .. cuz' i'll have to put a 'reservation' on them for those dates.
OH .. and we could go 'canoeing' on the Green River if it isn't too cold!! There is SOOOO much to do in this area .. you are gonna' LOVE it and want to move here!!!!
I'll conjure up fun games for our weekend too.
One thing that i would love to do is for us to plant a small FarmGirls Gathering Garden .. soooooo .. bring some flower seeds or plantlings to put in the earth for me to remember you all by! And oh yes! we will have to 'DIG' that garden too .. just a small little piece of land!
I'll conjure up a 'kit' for us all to make something .. i'm thinking of a sewing 'make-do' pincushion .. the kind that sit atop candlesticks.
We'll have a fun 'treasure hunt' on our antiquing day with games and prizes! Oh .. i am soooooooo looking forward to this time with you!!!
xo, frannie

I can come, Frannie (I also emailed you), if you still have room. I'm going to check mapquest again. I'll be driving, and I think it was about a 6 hr drive.

Frannie, I forgot to say that I'll be coming from Missouri. I don't know if the airport would be on my way, but if there's any way I can help with the pick-up from the airport, I'll be glad to do it. I have to leave Sunday afternoon -- school Monday.

well chilluns .. so far we have EIGHT confirmed girls coming: Patti, Ashley, Ivy, Twigs and her mom and friend and Jeanne and a friend from Maryland. So far, the only two that i know who are FLYING in are Jeanne and friend. They will arrive at Louisville Airport mid-afternoon on Thursday, April 20th .. anyone else who will be flying in .. please try to arrive around the same time .. so no one has to sit at the airport for hours and hours.
return trip to the airport will be about noon .. cuz' of the long drive there .. soooooo .. please make your return flights for about 2 p.m. or later. xo
anyone else comin'? i think we're going to have to try and rent some of those cabins though. there is only one guest room with three beds .. jeanne and her friend will share the king bed .. and i can put up a couple cots in the lower cabin. it will be snuggly .. but fun!

Frannie, I'll be leaving Missouri around 4:30, so my arrival will be around 10:00. Will coming in that late be an inconvenience for you? Please let me know and I can see if I can get off work an hour or so early.
