To the grands

Hi everyone! After finishing my nursing shift, I think it would be nice if the grandkids would call grandma & say hello. Her days can get pretty long & I know she'd enjoy hearing from you! Ph: 217-224-6681.

Love,
Aunt Leslie

Are we there yet?

I have a set of washers that I can bring. (save that money whenever you can)
I am so excited now that Sue and Sara have posted the plans. I was reading them to Tony this morning and he suggested maybe he should quit work so he could go on vacation. My response...........not..........maybe next year.
Anyway, thank you both for putting everything together!!
Love you all!!

Hi there Mom and Dad I sure miss all the relaxing I got last week!!! Let me know if you need me to come over again :-)

Directions to Lake from KC/ST L

My boss goes to Branson all the time and he gave me the following directions which are different from Mapquest, but don't send us on twisty windy roads. From KC/St L when you hit Springfield MO, Take Hwy 65 S. Stay on Hwy 65 until Hwy 465 @ Bull Creek. Follow 465 West to Hwy 76. Go West on Hwy 76 to the T @ Lakeview/Branson West. Take Hwy 13/265 South to turn left on DD which becomes Linden Dr. Turn Right on Coney Dr. Those coming from AK, Jerry says to avoid coming in through Branson 'cause it will add at least 1 - 2 hours to your drive. Mapquest will send you up to Springfield which seems to me that it's way out of your way....

Can't Wait

Gosh, isn't it time for vaca yet!!! The plans look good. David & Carolyn, I have plastic margareta glass that I'll bring for use... Mom & Dad, they still have those washer sets at Menards if you want another set. You know I always need an excuse to go in there. Things have been busy around here as we ramp up towards another piece of our big project at work being completed. That means more traveling, yeah (not). I really have no desire to go to Dallas during the summer... Grandma, I hear your getting much better. 55 hops on the walker way to go!

Supper Assignments

The time is getting closer (YEAH!!!) and Sara and I are working on meal assignments for the week. We were thinking that each family could be "in charge of" an evening meal. We chose some themes and you can build your menu around it. We also have some fun activities to go along with the evening meal. You can do it up however you like-I know Sara has been looking online for some neat decor to go along with ours. Have fun with it!! I know Val has purchased some chicken already-so anyone that needs that may want to contact her.
