Well I wrote a long post and lost it.....so I'll make this a shorter answer! Sure you can come to where I live providing I have time to unpack and get my furniture back in place and/or sold! Kinda crowded and not so clean with the way things are right now! Would love to have ya all, but wouldn't be able to have beds enough for everyone nor cook.for very many...cause Ma's cooking now would probably make ya sick or kill ya anyway!
There are lots of parks, motels, hotels and even camping grounds in the surrounding areas, and since I live near I-270, I-55, Highway 21 and fairly close to I-44, it wouldn't be too difficult to get anywhere in a fairly short time! Crondelet Park is a very old park (off I-55) and close to me, if they don't have a crowd gathering there at the same time as we would have the Forum Hunt we could gather and detect there next year! It would give me time to start doing what I need to get done or most of it anyway to be presentable for company! Also, would depend on how my health is through the winter and into Spring! The forum hunt would have to be either in the Springtime or in the Fall, as it is way too hot and humid most any other time! Lots of picnic shelters, (would probably have to reserve one) for bar-b-quing and gathering! Some restaurants and fast food places have room for a gathering, but would depend on how many others were there at the same time, but I guess it could be arranged ahead of time! I'm not one for planning things like that, but I guess I can try and make arrangements the best I can...depending on if I'm still living and able to do so by then! Anyway we can try and start planning early in 2011 for our next Forum Hunt at Mike's, my place or somewhere else?!
I also have a big open Common Ground area right next to my back yard and we could gather out there, to talk, sing and tell tales (good ones) but wouldn't be any good for hunting! I have bathrooms to use and A/C to cool off with now and then ( it better be working for my sake)

Well, like Porky Pig says: Ttttthats Allll FOLKS!

May God Bless! Amen!

Ma Betty
Now, I have given you many choice and what ifs, so up to ya all now whether ya come to see ole Ma (heading for 76 next July) providing I make it and by God's will, I shall!
Gonna miss ya all this year though, so I'll try for next year if the creeks (MIssissppi) don't rise and it's the Lord's will we meet on Earth, but soon we may meet and be together in His Heavenly Kingdom! May God Bless! Amen!

Ma Betty
