Is it too early to start thinking about Mother's Day 2017?

[Blue Streak]

It will be here before you know it.

 

[Philpug]

Never. @Tricia will get the ball rolling soon.

 

[Monique]

I'd like to be there. But I'm not sure you'll find me on that one run ...

 

[Kneale Brownson]

Maybe you should get back on that horse, Monique, after you're totally whole again.

I'm sure I will. Maybe not at *quite* that speed ...

 

[James]

Yes/No/Maybe.
Abasin in May is where you go to find the winter that left the rest of the country.

 

[Jilly]

Hmmmm...someone should do some arm twisting when we're in WB!! I'll check the point total before then.

Mother's Day is almost a week later this year than last, so you ought to arrive early rather than leaving late.

Or ... do both?

Good point!
I heard they renamed Lenawee Face to .... Monique's Dive?

 

[Old boot]

I'm sure I will. Maybe not at *quite* that speed ...

Is that why they call it "Break neck speed"?

 

[Old boot]

Its on mine and LS's calendar. I'll let her know when I see her next

 

[Monique]

=/

It was NOT a dive! Perhaps they could call it "Bounce. Swoosh. Cartwheel" ... I would also accept "Monique's Folly"!

Is that why they call it "Break neck speed"?

Good thing it wasn't that! From how it felt and how others reported it - I'm probably lucky my head is all in one piece.

Friday the 12th will be my 40th birthday. I plan to celebrate entering my fuck it forties with good friends and on skis. I'll likely need a DD.

BUMP

Given how late mother's day falls this year...I'm afraid that Pali on the 14th is a very risky bet. The 7th sounds much better

Are you suggesting that the Mother's Day gathering be moved to a different day? I suspect you'll meet much resistance on that idea. Me included. I literally plan my work schedule, including travel, around the knowledge of this gathering. Mother's Day at Abasin has been held on Mother's Day for 10 years running now. The only exception was the year it was closed and even then people gathered for good times. There are often people (including @Philpug and @Tricia) around for skiing in the couple weeks leading up to it and often for several days/weeks after as well.

Wow, do I remember your 30th at ABasin? Is that when we met? I can't decide if that seems like a long time ago, or just yesterday.

My first Mother's Day at Abasin was 2008 which would have been my 31st that Monday. Our first meet up in person was earlier that year when @Tricia came to Copper. But, I agree, I can't decide whether that feels like yesterday or forever ago.

I need to start looking at lodging for that week. I've been buried in planning for some work trips and completely forgot about doing that.

30, 31, whatever, to me, that's all so long ago....

Hey, it was 25% of my life ago for me!
