this is from Cheri at the Hamptons's
"Good morning ladies. After my recent trip out of state to see my Orthopedic Surgeon I am sorry to say that I must cancel hosting Pinkstock at my home next year. I am very dissapointed but I have had alot of health issues this year and have a surgery penciled in for Jan. 17th '08. I know there is so much 'leg work' involved and had some tentative plans that I believe all would have enjoyed. I was trying to hang on until after the Holidays to see how my health was holding up but there is now no need for any further delay. I am truly sorry and certainly had every intention of hosting it when I volunteered.
So....Pinkstock is up for grabs!! "
I know its early But I think the turn out may be greater in 2008...so let's start early...
If you are interested , I can give you Lots of information
If there are no takers I can do it again in 2008

I would love to do it here, Kentucky is kind of a central location for a lot of you, but I don't have any property. We could look into "borrowing" some from one of my friends if anyone is interested in coming here. Sheri

If you guys are interested in Virginia, the Fairystone State Park is right near me and has a beautiful park with big lake and 2-bedroom cabins for rent and swimming and all kinds of facilities. I can check into it if you like. Nearby airports are Greensboro and Roanoke. I can provide the links for you guys to check it out. Let me know if any are interested. I think the cabin rates are about $100 per night for a 2-bedroom. So, if we double up, it shouldn't cost too much. They also have camping facilities there and places for motorhomes. Also, a boat dock and stuff like that. There are also nearby motels on the Fairystone Pkwy. Let me know. Love, Brenda in VA aka Bren |

Hi Shel, So all we'd have to do is get to Detroit? And I'd have a coffee pot accessible? And hot running water? I'm in. Girls ... just please don't make me camp out. I'm too old for sleeping out with the bugs and stuff anymore. |

Denise, 2.5 acres would be plenty. In order to do it in the summer (kids off school) it would almost have to be in the north someplace. the confused user

I was thinking the same thing about the South. Nobody wants to be outside in August in the south. A bunch of women having hot flashes in 105 temps is not a good thing. Amy |

I agree, it can get pretty hot and humid here in August. It looks like there are some good possibilities. How about near the beach? We could take over a campground or something. My offer is always open, but I'm flexible. Sheri

Amy - Amen sister on the thought of us "hot women" getting together in the south during summer. We could accidently cause wild fires. When your heart speaks, take good notes.

How much room does Wild/Jan have in OK? Bet she loves me volunteering her place!! I still like the idea of Fairy Stone State park here in VA. The cabins are all 2 bedrooms and go for about $100 a night. They have camping facilities, lakes, hiking, and all kinds of stuff. |
