On Saturday, we all got up & headed for the Stamp Store & Archivers. We had discount coupons for BOTH!! Chelsea, Angie, Kim, Sherri & I were on the Fast Track. Quick hits, lunch & back to the hotel to play! Jan, Cheryl, Cheryl, Amy & Nancy were also on the fast track but they seemed to want to look around alot more at the first store so we left 'em. Daylights burning!!!
We leave this store & head for Achivers. But, won't it save us time if we stop for lunch. We have lunch at chilis; it was Yummy!! Then,
across the street to the mall & Archivers. But wait, what's that?? It's a cow limo! A Cow Limo??? Yes, it was!!! Scary! And too funny for words. We just about wet our pants (and laughed even when Chelsea got clotheslined by a tree branch).
So, we get to Archivers & miss Jan & Co by minutes but run into Robyn & her sister (who's name I have totally forgotten!). We do our Archiver's shopping & get ready to leave Ft. Wayne but Chels needs gas. On the way to the gas station, we see a Dairy Queen. We fill up w/gas & then got BACK to the DQ for ice cream for everyone (but Kim). We FINALLY make it back to the hotel 5 hours later??? How is that the fast track. And Jan & Co? They are back like 2 hours before us. But, I wouldn't trade ONE SECOND of the time we were gone. These girls are too much fun! And, how often will you EVER see a cow limo??????
(BTW, my camera battery died after the pic at the LSS. So no more pics for Suzi except for what her friends share with her :( The cow limo is from Chelesea's cell phone!)

So, the first full day of 'palooza, I get up early to go jog the nature trails. It's so wonderful being out, one with nature. The morning sun, the birds, the gnats/mosquitoes, THE SNAKES???? ACK!! Oh, snakes are just one of joys of the outdoors & one of God's creatures.
! I have never seen so much stuff in one place. Maybe Archivers but they are better organized. LOL But, can you believe, with all this stuff, NO ONE had a AI tool??? Nancy was going to teach me about AI but no one had a tool. Poor Robyn went home & got hers & brought it back but I still never learned AI.
8 hours in a car (I drive the whole way & don't fall asleep!! woohoo!) we make it to Pokagon State Park in Angola, IN and to the Potawatomi Inn. The inn is fabulous, like the on in Dirty Dancing but w/o Patrick Swayze! We have the cutest rooms and the grounds are FABULOUS!!! The crop room was the GREATEST!! Plenty of room for us all! And the goodies!! Chocolate & note pads & pencils & chocolate & placemats & bags & chocolate. YUMMM!!! And to put faces & personalities w/names!!! I have to say, I was totally overwhelmed and could not figure out who was who, even after they introduced themselves. But, it didn't take long before they were my best friends. This weekend's gonna ROCK!!
My bags are all packed, I'm just waiting for cheryl to get here. She's gonna spend the night & then we'll get up and head for Indiana!! Scott, being the nice guy he is, suggested instead of cooking or even fend for self (which would require someone to clean up after) we'd just do the fast food thing. Of course, I'll be eating fast food for the next four days but, that's ok!! LOL
