Hi everyone - sorry I haven't been around much lately - too many other things going on.

But, Slick is all set with reservations, and I have a return phone call into Sara to make some final plans...............AND I am excited.

pnance, I haven't p/m'd you, but I thought you might be in touch with Sara for directions and timing. But let me know if I can help.

I think there are others coming for sure - but I will leave that up to Sara to share.

Sara is right - this is a party state - there is always something going on.

And Sara - if you are BBQing in the back yard - why are you calling it a picnic? Are we taking the food someplace else? Or have you invited ants and just wanted to warn us? Just an opportunity to tease you that I couldn't pass up!

Oh, Barbara, and Debbie and everyone, how I wish that we were closer so that we could be planning these more often.

P.S. Slick, Rusty and Ginger will be verrryyy happy that you are coming to visit.
