the most precious lil' guy!  He has personality plus!  Thanks again for all you did to make the weekend run smoothly!
Dale & Jake - It was so nice to meet such a nice young man as your son, Dale.  Jake was one of the best-behaved young men I've ever had the pleasure of having at the house.  He took all the ribbin' everyone gave him and was always there to help out whenever needed.  He would chauffeur mother back and forth to the house and she is still talking about him!  Thanks for all you do to make this Chapter the fun it is for all involved, I'm sure it is time consuming but it is so rewarding for all of us.
Tony & Anna - Not sure where to start with the two of you.  Always there helping out, without being asked.  Sharing your grandchildren with us, made my day!  I don't know how you keep up with them, but you better keep in training cuz from what I saw they are going to keep you running' for a long time!  They were such a joy to watch.  Thanks again for everything you did, we did appreciate it all!
LB & Sandy - I was so surprised to see you with all you have going on in your life right now!  It was such a pleasant surprise!!  I hope it didn't tax you too much and wish there had been more time to visit.  Gosh instead I just put Sandy to work!  Thanks for your help and for all the effort getting here!  Hugs.
Tom & Dawn - So glad you were able to make it and bring Collin along he was a total gem!  Your help with everything was very much appreciated.  Seems like you were always around when something needed to be done and that was invaluable.  You two really want to take charge of this motley crew? 
Ben & Shirley - I cannot wait to see your place.  It sounds like such a neat, cozy home with memories everywhere.  Those are the best ones!  When I worked in real estate so often I would work with people who wanted houses and then I had clients that wanted homes - there is a big difference!  I'm looking forward to the stories that go along with your priceless treasures.  Hoping Mickey Mouse let Shirley enjoy her vacation!
Louie - Seems I always save you for last and you are so appreciated for all you do, you should be in Capital Letters and First on any List!!  The way you are always there for any of us is amazing and this weekend is no exception - Hauling Peggy's camper so she could join the weekend activities, Bringing over the canopy and setting it up for us and then coming back to take it down and haul it back for storage - what can we say.  Might be a tad bit redundant to repeat it as many times as we should, to cover everything, but THANK YOU - AGAIN!!  My daughter is totally a Louie Fan and wants you back as often as possible! 
There were a few that couldn't join us for the entire weekend of camping, Ron & Jan, Don & Deb, Dan &

Where do I start?  You all were fantastic!  I couldn't thank you more for making this Labor Day Campout/Cookout such a successful weekend!  After all had left Mom, Artie, Stacey, Sparky and I were at the patio talking and the next thing I know, I woke up with Sparky on my lap and everyone else gone! 
I've never seen Sparky so quiet, I'm just wondering how long this is going to last?  Even this morning, as I leave a room he raises his head and looks at me, like are you coming right back in here or do I actually have to move??  We are definitely going to have to have play date days for the animals, they so enjoyed one another.
Please send me any pictures you may have taken over the weekend and we'll try and get them all gathered together for each that attended to have copies.  It's sad that pictures, while nice keepsakes, in no way touch the weekend experiences, as they really were - awesome!  Looking forward to receiving those photos and getting this disc ready for all!
Artie and I both want to thank all that helped make this Labor Day Campout/Cookout a success!  You are all the best - the card and collection was most appreciated - Thanks again for sharing this weekend with us!   
Peggy - Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for finding us the video projector that allowed us to have our Hillbilly Movies!  Also for finding the ice cream freezer, at a reasonable price, so we would have ice cream outside the door. 
Gordie & Ella May -- Thanks for coming down the night before all the activities began to help out - everywhere!  Even helping us get through the panic of NO electricity the day the gathering was to start!  Oh and also for showing my daughter how great this "biker" group really is!
Kim & Charlie - Thanks for going to Burlington and behavin' yourself with the town mascots! - (not like Brenda's Kim who about got us kicked out of Hodunk) Even doing my laundry - geesh - ty ty!
Trish & Bob - What a treat having you decide to stay and do your homework here and Lasagna to boot!  You're the best!
Brat & Chuck - That man deserves a medal!  (lovin' it - I can say whatever I want to here and she can't stop me!)  you were both so great and the labs, more fun than I ever thought.  Your help, wherever needed, throughout the weekend was greatly appreciated.  I now have the trip for washing romaine lettuce!  My daughter is ready to move you in!!
Brenda & Kim - Every time I turned around you were there helping out, even when I didn't know what it was I needed, you did and I was very grateful for all you did.  Now the Hodunk escapade - I must tell you in all honesty, I've lived around here all my life and never ever never, had so much fun in HODUNK!  ty ty
Jeanne' & Mark - Oh geesh the jokes - I'd never be able to spill 'em out like you do, even with a book opened in front of me!  ty Your lil' Rocky, is absolutely
