Dear John--

I just read this on a nurse bulletin board, thought it would make you smile:

"You remember that horrible song "Where have all the cowboys gone"? They have all become nurses, that's where."

LOL

I'd love love love to do a dude ranch!!

I would sooooo save to do this and even better I'd meet you guys too!!

LOVE that idea too! I'm actually planning to take riding lessons again, so that I'll be fit for Alberta (or wherever you plan the big gathering!).

HOw did Central Park morph into a dude ranch in Alberta!?! But, anyway, there will be brokie meetings in 3 places in the U.S. this weekend. Latjoreme (Katherine) and I (Lee) will have a Rocky Mountain high meeting on Saturday at high noon, and we'll raise a toast to you guys in SF and NY. For you who are meeting in NY, please wave to my daughter (dubbed Front-Ranger Jr. by Will) who will be passing over about that time on her way to Ireland for her graduation celebration tour and vacation. Thanks!!

LOL--that's what I was thinking Lee! ;D ;D

But hey, I'm glad we are talking about this finally. Me and Becky have been dreaming about Alberta next summer and her parents even agreed to change their travel plans to come in JULY instead of AUGUST since Aug is an unhappy month in our BBM calendar--if that ain't love, what is? So I am still pulling for a Canadian meeting next July, but I love the direction this thread is going nevertheless!

Now as for the Central Park meeting, it might just be me and the high priestess! Meryl, we could get down to some ceremonial business but it would be a little lonely  :'(

Maybe a kay-yote will come to keep us company.  ;)

I want a full and I mean FULL report when you come back. And pictures, lots of them!

But hey, I'm glad we are talking about this finally. Me and Becky have been dreaming about Alberta next summer and her parents even agreed to change their travel plans to come in JULY instead of AUGUST since Aug is an unhappy month in our BBM calendar--if that ain't love, what is?

Yep that meant alot of begging on my part but they eventually agreed on July. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it for the rodeo as I am still doing exams at that time(exams or trying to spot potential Jack's...I know which one I would prefer) but I have scheduled our holiday so that I don't miss my exams(wouldn't want to do that now, would I?), we are there long enough(although 2weeks doesn't seem long enough to me) and I am back in time to collect my results. We may not be in kananaskis when there is a full moon 30th July, but if you want I can try and jiggle it about a bit.

Anyway sorry I am interupting this thread again, please continue.

Elle and Becky, thanks for the good wishes!   :-*

Jenny and I just talked, and we're going to visit John in the hospital this afternoon.  We'll raise a glass or cup of something non-alcoholic to the Brokies out west and all over the world, and to Jack and Ennis, and to the full moon.   8)

We're going to postpone the picnic, however, til John is well enough to join us and we can hopefully get a few more Brokies to come.  Maybe in July, if the army don't get us.  ;)

So from the High Priestess, here's a solemn Yeehaw and three S'alright's for tonight's Feast of the Consummation.  Go ye and have fun!  :D

Excellent ideas forming on this thread ... who knows what could come of it.  I was thinking about inviting everyone to watch BBM projected drive-in movie style on the 40 foot wall of a barn I own near Niagara Falls, but I just found out that the foundation is rotted and the whole building has to come down (UGH, nightmare).   Anyone else have a really big wall?  Picture us around campfires, drinkin' whiskey or whatever, cheering for our heroes .... could happen!  Cheers to all.
