Looking forward to a great trip and seeing old friends again and meeting lots of new ones!
For bluebonnets this time of year, that's a tall order, but I'll bet she's covered up with some kind of flowers!
I came out to see you!
It's your turn to come out to see me!
And I want some Brownies!
Have a great time TC! Tell us all about it when you get back from your adventures. And the next time I see you I will give you five hugs to make up for it! ;}
hehe ! Maybe a gunrack in the top of the windshield ?? :^)
Very well. I sent you a Freepmail with an email addy to use to get the details/signup.I plan on going too.
Thank you ! :^)
Gimme a hollar if'n you want on or off.
Thanks for the ping uglybiker. Please tell me we can all come together & show the Robinsons a good time in AZ! I can supply a venue in Scottsdale...It would be an honor.
Bump !!
Coming to Texas to see you gets strong consideration -- However, sharin mu brownies is absolutely out a duh question. Period. :>) - sheesh! boy! never saw anyone so audacious.
Okay, I will consider myself invited. I will warn you though I have a trailer and I like to travel. So one of these days (years) I will FReepmailing you to let you know when we will be in the neighborhood.
Who knows, I may even let LadyinRed come with me.
Chocolate is deadly for mutts like you!
I, on the other hand, thrive on chocolate brownies!
Now that would be a treat!
Too bad you can't swing through Sierra Vista, AZ and Ft. Huachuca. Maybe next time.
.
And I'm sure all the FReepers they meet along the way will be taking lots of pictures, too. I know we will.
Ping!
Well, I have Arkansas covered. Had Oklahoma at one point, but it got toasted when my hard drive got nuked.
Is this really a problem in Utah? ROTFL!

God bless you on your trip. Be careful and safe.
basil, y'all have fun.
I'm going to be in Dallas that week for the Christian Medical and Dental Association and their Bioethics course (in conjunction with Trinity International University) so I'll miss the HOT meet, but visit the Dallas Freepers meet.
