Well, in about 2 weeks time, the party will be starting in Timmins. It has become a yearly avent for some of us as this will be our 6th convention. I have considered us all close family members but there is always room for more.

I am arriving in Timmins on August 1st. I will probably stop at the STC on my way through but I know if I even go near the door where at the important stuff us, Tracy will kick my butt. RIGHT TRACY????????

Can't wait to see you all. See you all real soon!

WE look forward to seeing you Marja.... tell me before you get here.. how do you pronounce our name....

Does the J sound like an H... so Marha....

Does the J sound like a J so Marja

or does the J sound like an I so Maria.....

help us out...

Ren

_________________

Hai Ren,

The second one is correct. It's the same J as in Jamie
And if it's to difficult you can call me Maria
(That's my first baptism name )

See you soon,

Marja

Wow, that was easy. I wonder if Marja can simplify how to pronounce George's name as well.

Hrek - ah.

_________________

I've got a very easy way to pronounce it. But:

A) I don't want to get shot.

B) It's not the preferred version.

Well, I am finally here. Got here about 11:30am this morning. It feels like I am back home. Drop by the center to say hello. Just missed seeing Tracy. Don't worry Tracy, I didn't dare go to the back. I didn't want to get my butt kicked.

Anyway, can't wait to see you all. Will be waiting with opened arms.

Tom got in last night and Bonnie is now there too ! The fans are starting to arrive !!!

Up! Up! Up! Can only go Up! from here !!!

I must have just missed you by a few minutes Bonnie... Tracy and I were going over some convention plans and talking about the surprise....

_________________

We arrive late on Tuesday nite. We will be at the Centre when it opens on Wednesday!!!! And yes, we know the rules as to where in the Centre we can go until the convention actually starts. Seems to me either last year or the year before Bonnie snuck in the forbidden area early...before the convention started! I believe Tracy almost kicked Bonnie's butt that year...so here is everyones warning....If you get to the Centre before the convention actually starts and/or before Tracy says you can go beyond the little silver gate...don't even think about going beyond that gate!!!!!!! Tracy has been known to have a slight temper.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IN JUST A COUPLE DAYS!!!
