    Let's see, about the weekend ..
    
    It was definitely a blast!  Jeff, you were MUCH too noisy (NOT!!).(-:
    
    Started out with Spagetti on Friday  night ... and I did NOT allow Bob
    to cook the spagetti!!  Jenga was the highlight ... lots of fun, and
    how many times did you knock it over, >M<??
    
    Saturday was great going to North Conway to go shopping.  Too bad that
    Bob didn't feel well.  We thought about re-naming him "RALPH".. (-:
    
    Lunch was great ... Dianne, how about that cute guy?? (-:  And what
    about that Boston accent at the next table?!  
    
    Dinner ... boy, did we eat!  Except of course, >M<.  She had chicken,
    and ate like one!!  But she DID make up for things.. (-:  Lots of fun
    dancing/singing to Pat Benetar .. Playing rummy-cube (is that the name
    of the game???) and playing poker for tootsie-rolls (just HOW did those
    tootsie rolls get behind the couch?? (-:  
    
    My dear >M<, you MUST learn that a "shot" is not "half a cup"!!
    Sheesh!!  
    
    And remember, >M<, you didn't "blow it"!! (-:  
    
    Sunday was great ... a few people left early, but we still had a great
    time ... Played the guys against the women in "Taboo" and we wone!! (of
    course!!).  Bob never did replace that flower-pot (couldn't find one!!)
    
    All in all it was a GREAT weekend!  Bob and I discussed it, and we've
    decided to plan two trips this summer.  One in mid-june (10th-12th. 
    Not sure where yet), and one in mid august for the jazz festival in 
    Newport, RI.   
    
    Anyone wanna go camping now??
    
    Holly
     
    
199.7Can I go with you all???TFH::ANDERSONMMy MARLBORO man! AAAHHHhhTue Apr 19 1994 19:2120
    
    
    	I agree with you about Jeff..... VERY noisy!!!!  ;^)
    
    	Thank you for NOT letting Bob cook the spaghetti!  (I had some!)
    	mmmm, forgot about JENGA!!!!  And did *I* knock it over??? WOW!
    	And I thot it was SAT that I'd forget things!!!!!  hehehehe
    
    	And about "RALPH"  hehehe, at least he bought his own "doggie" bag
    	at the shops!!! hehehe
    
    	Hey, YOU my dear Holly, forgot the shot glass, so what was *I*
    	suppose to do??? mmmmmmm??
    
    	Hey, Diane:  What word am I thinking of:  "Wish I had a ......"
    	hahahaha (toooo funny!)  (NOT a word, HOLLY!!!!)  ;^)
    
    	Camping?  ME!!!!!
    
    	>M<

    And Dear >M<, what's that "regenerative condition"??? (-:
    
    And YOU said that YOU were going to bring the Shot glass!!  Don't go
    blaming ME for you making 1/2 cup of butterballs!!!  Sheesh!!
    
    So, where do we go camping in June?  White Mountains, Cape Cod, Mystic
    Seaport, or Narraghansett(SP?) bay?

    	HEY, I *WAS* using a glass. ...  just not a SHOT glass!!!! hehehehe
    	And I used the "TWO FINGER" method....O, you're not suppose to use
    	the pinky and the pointer?  mmmmmm, NOW I know what I did wrong!

    	Holly, John just reminded me....the only reason the "girls" won at
    	TABOO on Sunday (or whenever it was that we played????)  was because
    	we used the PINK side of the cards....hahahahaha  YA RITE!!!  WRONG!
    	We won because we're GOOD!!!! and we play TABOO pretty good too!
    	hehehehe
    
    	He also said that he's going to "educate" me this weekend.  Now
    	what DOES he mean by that????  ;^)
    
    	Hey, how many cases did we do THIS weekend?  Remember we had 1/2
    	of the amount of people from February!!! hehehehe
    
    	shhhhh, be berry, berry qwiet!

    Yes, we are DEFINITELY camping the weekend of June 10-12.  Not sure
    where yet.  I need suggestions from potential campers.  
    
    Where would you like to go?  I know of good campgrounds in the
    following places (ones that will take groups)...
    
    Ashaway, RI (near the ferry to Block Island)
    Cape Cod (lots of nice campgrounds there)
    White Mountains (near a river ... very nice)
    
    Not sure, but I think I might be able to find one at Mystic Seaport
    too.
    
    Let me know ... I'll have to make plans soon!

    Newport Island is in Rhode Island.  Beautiful place to go to.  And the
    Jazz Festival is wonderful!
    
    You won't need THAT Much time off!  Maybe Friday and Monday if you just
    want to stay a weekend.  Or, maybe stay for a week before or after so
    that lots of people can meet the two of you! (-:

    Ok, re: camping June 10-12 ...
    
    I've found two campgrounds in Connecticut .. here's the run down so far
    ...
    
    First of all, BOTH places accept groups!  That's tough to find lately!
    
    Campground #1 .. $25/night for two people.  I need to call tomorrow to
    talk to the owner, may possibly be able to get a group rate.  Haven't
    heard much about this place, but it's only 5-10 minutes from Mystic
    Seaport.  One person in the RV file said it's "clean".
    
    Campground #2 .. in Oneco, CT.  ~30-45 minutes away from Mystic
    Seaport.  A RAVE review in the RV file.  BIG sites.  $22/night for two
    people.  Can possibly get a lower rate if we use less sites (ie,
    putting 4 people on a site would only cost $34 for four people). 
    
    
    so, if we go to mystic seaport, do we want to be further away from the
    place, and get a campground that we KNOW is nice?  Or do we go for the
    closer one and take our chances on how nice it is?
    
    Looking for suggestions.  I also know of a beautiful campground in
    Ashaway, just near the beach, ~20 minutes from the ferry to Block
    Island.  We could do that too! (can't remember the rates).
