I dont know but when I bought this GPS I really thought I be able to go to more Places but NOoooooooooooooo, this thing tells me to go right and there isnt even a RD.

But we will see if the meeting is somewhere I know we go......I would bring my Boy & Daughter. Maybe even Hubby if he is home.

I love the Idea of a Potluck...or grilling ....I love Summer !!

no one can. or atleast they should not do it. keep eyes on road.
thats why GPS helps. that is if it is working like it should.

I would be interested in something like this. I for one need time in advance to request off from work. I am working every Saturday, Sunday. It's a little harder for me to get time off in 1 weeks notice.

I don't mind driving a little while. I have family in Georgia, and Alabama. So I'm used to it.

It looks like camping/canoe trip is leading the pack for the get together. Most likely spots would be farther north in michigan for that.

Soon as this divorce is final, everyone is more than welcome to come here to my house. That is if this doesn't happen to her head first and my boys in blue take me away. Just joking. I'm smarter than that.

No need for the "sorry's." It's easy when you catch people and they don't even know it yet.
