Q: What does one bring
Posted on August 20th, 2006 at 11:32 amwhen they plan to be locked in a hotel room in the (middle of nowhere) Ft. Smith, Arkansas with little kids and no car for a week.
A: The following…
1. books
2. toys
3. puzzles
4. PS2
Of course.
5. HP and the Philosopher’s Stone for bedtime reading.
6. The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Chess
7. a chessboard
In other words, geeky stuff.
9. Castle Sampler (it’s Justin’s)
10. Jamie’s unfinished sweater
11. sock for Cian
12. Branching Out that they’ve been working on here and there for their Grandma, but had not posted yet.
13. Peacock that is too big to spread out enough to get a good picture of.
and most importantly…
14. their whole stinkin’ desktop because they hate the laptop that is available.
Leaving tomorrow for Ft. Smith, as you may have surmised. I obviously shall have access to email and stuff.

Uh by the way, you’ll actually be 50 miles shy of the EXACT middle of nowhere. I know this because I live RIGHT in the middle here in Heavener LOL

really, there’s nothing else but being locked up in the hotel room? Well, sounds like you’ve prepared really well for it! Look forward to seeing your knitting progress on your return!

Well, if you can break away on Thursday night 6-8PM there is a stitch n bitch at Sweet Bay Coffee on Rogers Ave next to Creekmore Park here in Ft. Smith, which I assure you isn’t anywhere near the middle of nowhere. I think that’s somewhere up in Kansas. Drive from Denver, CO to Tulsa, OK sometime and you’ll see what I mean.
