The LJ Picnic is fast approaching (Sunday, July 15th) and I’m getting excited!
Rick and I are looking forward to our little event. So far I’ve been told by a few people (including John, Extreme Birdhouses) that they will be stopping by.
I noticed that we have a few Jocks in Ontario now, some within driving distance of me and so this is an invitation to join me. The picnic will be taking place in a small town about half way between London and Toronto.
If you get the itch and want to join us, send me a private message and I’ll give you more information.
I hope to see you there.

Here is my geography stupidity showing, “half way between London and Toronto.” Isn’t that somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic? Shall I bring scuba gear?

lol phew.. Glad I had put ONTARIO in the heading.
Clarification: half way between London, Ontario and Toronto, Ontario :)
and that would put you in the middle of nowhere :) Good ol’ rural Ontario.

A little to far for me to travel from NL. next year I will try to get my employer to send me up for work so I could possibly combine it with a picnic. :-0

Sorry I can’t make it I’d like to go home for a visit. I was born about 100 miles up the road.
I’m having my own little LJ picnic Three familys (my children) all LJ’s being here. And then the following week the Mason-Dixon Woodworkers club picnic and i think a couple of Delaware and Maryland LJ’s are going to make it there. Greg3G is one of them coming next week so I’ll get to check out his broken wing.

well, when you DO pop home… I’ll give you directions. 2 turns off of a 400 highway. Can’t get much easier than that.
Sounds like some good times coming for you!!!
Sweet.

I once drove the TCH from the upper peninsula of Michigan USA through Sault Ste Marie to Montreal, so I knew what you were talking about. Have a great time. Wish I had gotten my T-Shirt. Maybe I will go buy a woodworking tool on Sunday the 15th. Does that count?

Ah. Although it would probably be more interesting to go the other side of the lake. I used to live in the UP of Michigan.

So close, yet so far :(. I’m going to my niece’s wedding in Peterborough on the 12th, which is pretty close, but the whole weekend is scheduled with family. I’ll be in Kitchener the next week so if you send me an address, perhaps I could make arrangements to drop in then?
BTW, my studio is open for inspection any time :).
