Eric's Home

Wednesday October 22 Eric returned home from his mission. Here are some pictures -

Well that didn't work out very Well!

Perhaps I can explain the map a bit. When you get to Mack's Inn you will continue driving over the river and turn right at the first road. Take the fork to the right (Ruby Lane) and follow it to (probably) Buffalo and turn left. Heading North take the fork to the right that should be Mulberry Lane. The cabin is at the end of the lane. There is a large open entrance to the cabin. There are 2 other cabins to the east of our cabin.

Walker Family Reunion July 22nd - 26th

I meant to have this out to everyone on Monday and I had it all ready to paste into the blog on Monday but there was an emergency at Rod's Mother's house. His sister Kandee had passed away in her sleep. Sooooooo . . . . I'm here at work at10:00 on Tuesday night getting one thing off of my check list. I will put a map to the cabin next week. It is across the river north of Mack's Inn.
I will also update this message after I remember all the things I forgot to include.

Walker Family Reunion

The time is almost here so we thought we better get some information out to you.

Cabin information - everyone staying in the cabin needs to bring bedding for their beds (1 king, 4 queens, 3 twins & 1 fouton) Sleeping bags would probably be easiest.
The have cooking stuff but if you need something special for your meals, please bring the necessary utensils.

We have come up with some games but would like to have some more choices and also come fun crafts for the kids. Marie this is right up your alley isn't it. Would you mind thinking up a couple crafts for the kids to do?

Perhaps you have been wondering why there hasn't been an update since we returned from Germany . . . . . time, time, time! If you would like to look at pictures that were taken during the trip go to flickr.com/photos/provoimages/collections and you will be able to see hundreds of photos taken by our group.

The first thing that I would like to say about the trip is that "we were treated like kings and queens." Our hosts did everything humanly possible to make sure we had everything and did everything we wanted. The only problem with that was, that they had us so busy that we didn't have any time to ourselves. We wanted to shop in Meissen but when we had a few minutes of free time it was in the evening and the stores all close at 6:00. We wanted to shop in Goerlitz but our host had a full schedule for us and we only got to glance at the street fair as we walked by. However, we did jump into a Christmas store and get some local made items. Needless to say, not many purchased items came home with us. That is so sad because they had some wonderful stuff.

I'm going to try to finish the draft I started and get it posted ASAP!
