Just talked to Basil on site in Crawford, Texas. Currently there are about 100 folks there helping to set up. They have not received word about the caravan arrival in Waco yet. JimRob is riding with the caravan. She thinks it might get to Crawford around 1:00 p.m.
Basil says the stage is set up, the sound system is excellent and they have hung the most beautiful banners overnighted by W04Man on the stage. A big thanks for the banners, they are much appreciated!
Someone arrived early and hung yellow ribbons everywhere.
They have an American flag that is about 50 feet by 40 feet. Children of military personnel serving in the Middle East have written notes to their parents on the stripes of this flag. A very touching thing to behold.
The HOT Chapter booth is being unloaded right now. The will sell buttons made by Angelwood to help off set costs.
Someone rented the Community Center for our use so there is access to AC. However, they also have 10 tents set up. And there is a Moonwalk for the kiddos.
To top everything else there is BBQ on the grill! Basil is the official taster and says it is great!
That is all the news I have at the moment. It is hard to get a cell phone connection to Crawford but when I hear more I will try to update everyone.
LOL. They wish.
LOL, I'm confused, too! Apparently FR TV is top-secret, people in the know only talk about through Freepmail. But "Tuesday" is always mentioned. I don't know if they mean this Tuesday or what, but I'm mighty curious! :)
Did it work? : D
"yummy and cute, but I'm too old for that kind of thing!"
Honey, we are never too OLD for that kind of thing! lol, at least I hope not.
Thank you for the offer. I stayed up extra late last night, working on them, so I'm doing OK with the project.
starting to sound like a bunch of high schoolers....sheesh..
"Heck I'll even watch Geraldo's show tonight if he has a decent report from Crawford. For me that is HUGH!"
If he does it would be; however, I suspect he'll be standing in FL or LA w his hair blowing in the wind covering Katrina or he'll be in Aruba to cover the bros getting arrested. You know Geraldo, he only goes where he thinks the action is (too bad he and others didn't realize the action was in Crawford this weekend).
I like the idea, but would still keep it mixed with the traditional yellow ribbon...I've got yellows all over my tree...
Never to old for that kind of thing...just too old to say it out loud.
Well now I'm curious too. Anything that is so clandestine to only be mentioned in FReepmail has my interest piqued. I want to know how to become a part of that secret society.
On another thread, Mo1 posted a schedule of the bus tour(s) that Cindy's group is going on between next Friday and sometime in Sept....
So, if you are in one of Cindy's destination cities, try to get it freeped!
Ok, you know where to find me if need be!
I have no idea what "Tuesday" means either, but it's been mentioned by Brad's Gramma and STARWISE (shrug) I wish someone would tell me.
Finally an Aruba update on FNC! Geeze I've been on the edge of my seat waiting for that. /s
LOL! Okay, what I should have said, "I'm much too old for HIM." Also, if he is a democrat, I'm not interested anyway. :o)
