Default "Road Trip"

Hi Gang,
I know Ron hasn't said anything yet but he is heading to West Virginia to see Gary (Ashbys} next week. He is flying into Baltimore and Garry is picking him up there. I am taking four days out of my busy schedule to drive down and meet with Ron at Garry's. I know I should be visiting with some of you along the way such as Coffeeman, Deborah Call and others but it is a long road trip in itself just to get there. I plan on being in WV by about 5 o'clock Friday night if everything goes ok. You never know with boarder crossings and me taking the wrong turn off or something but I am sure I will get there sooner or later. We plan on doing some carving and just kicking back and visiting should be a a great time. As we speak I am in the middle of a huge maple tree carving. Sorry I forgot to take my camera with me today but I promise I will take it tomorrow and get some pictures. Then I have two more commissions to finish up by next Friday not counting the maple tree so I guess I will be busy. I am really looking forward to meeting Ron we talk on the phone and email all the time. I have met with Garry and Goody before and we are hoping we can get Ron to see Goody as well. I have asked Garry how far away Susan Irish is I would love to meet with her as well. Just thought I would update you that this is going to happen.
Colin

Sorry you won't be able to stop by Colin, but I do understand....if things change, give me a couple hours notice and I'll make you another pot roast.....less notice and Ben could grill up a couple steaks.....not that I'm trying to tempt you or anything!!

Have a safe trip, say "Hi!" to everyone for me! Deborah

I am looking forward to this trip also. I have been planning on a way to meet Colin and Garry and I appreciate them taking time out of their busy schedules to get together with me. Garry and I talk on the phone almost weekly and email. I appreciate his invitation for the visit as many of you know Garry puts my patterns on my wood for me with his laser system. I will only be there for the weekend so it's kind of a short trip my schedule is also kind of busy. I hope to also meet Goody and I would really like to meet Susan Irish because she is where most of my patterns come from. Susan and I talk every once in awhile on the phone and she is a big influence on me. So Susan if you are lurking give me as call so we all can meet next weekend. See you next week Garry, Colin & Goody, Anna and maybe Susan.
Ron
