Why is the caravan rocking??? ;) ;)

I have recently found out I will be in Perth presenting at a conference the days preceding our weekend get together.  So hopefully will be driving down from Perth on Friday morning if any one else needs a lift.

How old is he, Uni?  Sometimes the young just see the adventure and the excitement.  It's not until they get to our age and have kids of their own that they begin to realise what we were on about . . .It'll be a huge learning curve for him ;)  So glad he's ok . . and he'll be showing that photo to his grandkids .. . . and probably issuing stern warnings!!
Title: Re: WA Retreat Car Pooling

Hopefully everyone will see this.

Does anyone have any problems with the fact that I would like to give each driver a list of their passengers email addresses and 'real' names? I would also like to give the passengers their drivers email address and 'real' name.
If no one minds I'll get it done by the end of the week. Then people can email each other and work out times, places etc for the pick ups.
Title: Re: WA Retreat Car Pooling
Post by: judydawn on June 24, 2012, 04:27:32 am
Good idea Cookie - it will be nice to know I am driving down there with 
a real person and not a cookie  ;D  Perhaps put a copy in the retreat thread too just in case some miss it ;)
Title: Re: WA Retreat Car Pooling
Post by: gertbysea on June 24, 2012, 06:20:37 am
None at all cookie 1. Most everyone going  is a real person I guess. Cecilia outed herself As Ros  but what happened to that thread I don't know. HOUGH is still a mystery having joined the forum and the retreat all on the same day but since he/ she is coming will surely let us know who they are. We have the + people but surely they will not want to remain anonymous unless they are afraid of Grace finding out they are coming to a place where Tenina is . In any case the photos eventually will reveal all.  Anyone  wanting to remain a secret from HO should raise  their hand and declare they do not want their pic taken and anyone  reporting back to Grace might want to rethink  coming at all.

I think we are all adult enough to be trusted with our names and email addresses  amongst ourselves. After all this is  a meet and get to know each other in an informal setting where we can share our stories. Strangers we are not or what is the point?

It is all about fun so let us get the  minutiae out of the way.

My name is Gretchen Fitch And I am a Thermomix fan.  Ok I know bad rhyming last name but so apt.

Daughter to 9 year old grand daughter, " Ma is going to meet up with all the people she talks to on the Internet".  GD thinks for a moment,  then says.  "Mum,  I think that is a very good idea, as they might all have buck teeth and zits, ( pimples)."

Ma is me, Bess Schubert and DH is Ral Schubert.   So looking forward to catching up with all you lovely people with zits and buck teeth.

"Mum,  I think that is a very good idea, as they might all have buck teeth and zits, ( pimples)."

Whoa that would be scary in the eyes of a kid. I'm conjuring up some pretty radical images now.
Back in the day...I remember when those teeth would fit all the way around your top teeth, and now they only go across the front four. (Hmn in retrospect perhaps I have a big mouth)
