Gracie and Killi's "Tour de Lit!"

[sphynx's dragon]

Don't worry, you and TS can educate me on all the best movie quotes on Saturday.

Then everyone will think I'm smrt!

If ya want to be ready, watch Monty first. We love Monty.

 

[Killishandra]

If ya want to be ready, watch Monty first. We love Monty.

Eh, I gotta work tonight and tomorrow so I probably won't get time to re-watch it... But I saw it a couple years ago. I'll try to remember when the time comes up.

 

[Xelebes]

Ok, so we have Oregon, Arizona, Florida (for malcah) . . . . forgive me but where in Canada do we need to go?

Take the ferry from Port Angeles, Washington (near Olympia) to Victoria to see Shadowsdream and then take the ferry to Vancouver to see Ms_Lilith. Then take Highway 1 to Kamloops to say hello to Aeroil and then take the Yellowhead Highway through Jasper to Edmonton to see me. Then go south to Calgary on Highway 2 and turn east on Highway 1 to go to Regina and see the CanadianCutie. And then head further east to Winnipeg to see the 'Peg Krew. Then head south because the gas taxes will embezzle most of your travel funds there.

 

[Xelebes]

Suspended . . . ooooooooooh.

Oh, and we mustn't forget DVS in Missouri, and KC in Minnesota.

And isn't ADR in Nevada? Gotta go see ADR. We'll visit her while we're in the warm states.

Ok, after you visit the 'Peg Krew, go south to Minnesota where KC lives and then head to Missouri to head down south to Louisiana. You'll go through Texas when you come back from New England and heading towards the West Coast once again.

 

[DVS]

Wow. How on earth did I forget about Kudzu? And spanish moss? Is Memphis too far North for spanish moss?

A word to the wise. Don't go smokin' any of that Spanish moss. You're just gonna have to trust me on that one.

[snowy ciara]

Ok, who's in Minnesota that I'm thinking about?

I believe the lovely leather lady herself, the incomparable Netzach mentioned Minneapolis once...

 

[snowy ciara]

Everybody's pickin' up on that feline beat,
'cause everything else is obsolete.

Everybody, everybody, everybody wants to BE a cat!

MeOW!

I have to go see Aeroil? But . . . but . . . but . . . he'll steal my cookies!

Well, ok. But I'm not bringing any cookies.

 

[graceanne]

I believe the lovely leather lady herself, the incomparable Netzach mentioned Minneapolis once...

Oooooooooh, I think you're right. Well then we are DEFINATELY having to go to Minnesota. Can't miss Netzach.

I sometimes correct myself from doing it. Maybe because I've read alot of British authors? I'll write "colour" or something similar and then have to go back, catch myself, and take out the "u."

I live in Hawaii, so it's GOT to be a habit picked up from reading.

I started out learning British English. Then I spent a year in the US, thus getting used to the American way of writing. Going back in school here, reading British authors, writing (exams and such) for my rather old and not very flexible teacher I sort of went back to British. Now I'm very confused about how to write things, or say things...

 

[snowy ciara]

One of my classes had 6 kids with strong Brit spelling tendencies; and they were trying to get us to take all extra "u"s and such out and save them for kids in the US who didn't have enough "u"s to well, use. Finally my teacher decreed that we could spell like a Brit or like a Canadian, and it didn't matter which as long as we were consistent throughout the piece of writing!

 

[chris9]

I have to go see Aeroil? But . . . but . . . but . . . he'll steal my cookies!

Well, ok. But I'm not bringing any cookies.

If you don't take any, you can eat all of his!

 

[snowy ciara]

and we'll be sure there's lots of cookies at the next stop.

 

[Sir_Winston54]

and we'll be sure there's lots of cookies at the next stop.

{Mental note: Stock up on cookies of various types before the caravan gets to East Tennessee.}

 

[graceanne]

If you don't take any, you can eat all of his!

Ooooooh, true enough.

Ok, so we're gonna start in Oregon. Then we'll go north through Washington, and to Canada. We'll go to Victoria to Shadowsdreem , then we'll go to Vancouver to see Ms_Lilith. Then we'll go see Aeroil (the cookie theif), and then Xelebes. Then we go to see Regina and Canadian Cutie. Wait . . . when do we get to see BlueKat? Doesn't she live in eastern canada? If so . . .

then we'll head south to Vermont. From Vermont we'll go to Pennsylvania, and from Pennsylvania we'll go to Tenesee, and from Tennessee to Missouri (cause if I'm that close to my family and I don't stop to see them my ass is grass). From Missouri we'll go to Kansas, and then Minnesota. From Minnesota we'll just south, stopping to see DVS again, and go to Florida. Then from Florida we'll head west to New Mexico (yay! Betticus) (stopping at Texas - family) and over to Arizon, then California (where once again I'll have to stop to see family. *sigh*) Then to Nevada and back to Oregon. Am I missing anyone?

 

[Neomagalie]

.....

 

[graceanne]

Forgot Arctic Stranger and me in Alaska

You know the second I saw your name on the thread I thought. 'Crap. Alaska.'

So after Ms_Lilith we'll go see AS and Neo. Then we'll go see the cookie theif. (I wonder if Aeroils blue and fuzzy. hm)

 

[Neomagalie]

.....

 

[graceanne]

Its too hot to think.

IN ALASKA! You're weird.

 

[Neomagalie]

[graceanne]

Here's what we're gonna 'see' in Oregon.

The Saturday Market:

The Ape Caves

http://gorp.away.com/gorp/location/wa/cav_ape.htm

And The Oregon Coast. Just so that miss-warmwaterocean can get a taste of the cold water. *brr*

 

[graceanne]

Next Stop, Victoria, then Vancouver, then Arctic Stranger.

So AS and Neo . . . what is there to see in Alaska? (Other than snow - we can see that anywhere.)

 

[blue kat]

Ooooooh, true enough.
. Wait . . . when do we get to see BlueKat? Doesn't she live in eastern canada? If so . . .

I'm now the proud (or something) owner of a run down family farm in the Winterpeg area. Try to drop by around milking or harvest. I've got 5 open bedrooms in the house, a bunkhouse and I'm about 45 minutes from snowy's parents whom I'm sure would absolutely love to offer a few bedrooms.

Attractions wise, I have a milking machine I'd love to demo, a combine, a mill pond for swimming in... There's hot springs and fishing as well as hunting, and the Town That Kept Wal-mart Out.

As for the farm stuff - I spent most of my childhood on a farm. But I'm sure that Killi will enjoy it. lol
