Memorial Day 2012 - Findlay, OH - ???

[shais_mom]

Just a thought but would Monday (or Saturday) be better with people's work schedules?

oh Anna - what bas+@rds!
Saturday would work for me but Monday my nephew has baseball games. But the question is - would the pavilion be open?

So sorry we won't be making it this time, but as well as my own issues (I feel all better, but have another week before follow-up with the surgeon) and Paul's health, the Turtle (our green Honda CRV) is aging, and has started burning oil, so a 12+hour drive is not advisable at this point! I mean, it does have over 143,000 miles on it ...

I definately want to see everyone, but especially that beautiful Lauren
I already know I'll be working Saturday night & all day Monday so neither
of those would work for me. Yes Kim, being an adult sometimes stinks.
I'm still working hard to get my Sunday covered!

[Smiley lulu]

I definitely wanna come next year!!! It is on my calendar.

[shais_mom]

I may have to leave a bit earlier b/c I have a graduation party I really should make an appearance at. (if I know what's good for me! )

[4 Dog Mother]

So if I have this right there will be for sure:

Amy, Ralph & Lauren,
Carl & Diana
Staci
Ashley
And maybe Anna?

Robin, how about you?
Gretchen, what are you and Doug doing this weekend?
Liz (lbaker) feel like a car ride?
Monica, too many plans or too hot for mommy to be?
Christy, haven't heard what your plans are for this weekend.

Anybody else? It will make a difference in how much food and drink we need so please sign up soon if you are coming. It probably won't be a real long day since Staci does have to leave earlier and the baby probably won't like being out all day (but maybe, who knows?). And of course, Granny here needs her nap about 3 or 3:30 - the sun and heat will be my excuse this time.

[shais_mom]

Since it will be a small group any requests for food dishes?

[shais_mom]

well crap - I see the graduation party I have to go to is now 12 to 4 instead of 3 to 7! so I will just go early and come a little later to the park but will still have to leave for work.
I'll bring something that people can eat later.. Maybe pasta salad or something.

[anna_66]

I got someone to pick up my shift, so me and the dogs will be there :-) Although since it's going to be so hot I don't think we'll be staying for more than a few hours. What time is everyone going to be there?

Since there will only be a handful of people are we still going to cook or would sandwiches be better? So far for food I see Diana is bringing potato salad & brownies, so how about I bring some chips and stuff for sandwiches (if that's ok with you all) and we all just bring whatever we want to drink?

[shais_mom]

that would be fine with me Anna - YAY!
I'm going to bring Pasta Salad.

[Cincy'sMom]

Staci- what time do you think you would be there? Maybe we just plan a later day, say 2-4 ish? Then we wuld could do the sandwichs, or even just snacky things and not have a real big meal. We can be there whenever, I just don't know how long we will stay, so I want to be sure we get there when everyone else is there and it soundsl ike Staci has the most time restrictions.

[shais_mom]

lol yes for someone who "never does anything" I'm sure busy that flippin day!
lol well I was going to plan on being there by 1ish - so 1 to 4 would work for me. But I don't have the drive time like Anna and Amy have so whatever is fine.

[anna_66]

1-4 sounds good to me.

[shais_mom]

if we are just going to do snacks/finger foods - I'll make tortilla wraps.

[Karen]

We will be thinking of you all that day, and missing everyone!
