I've been wondering about what to bring as well. I know I'm pitching in on the b-day cake and bringing some ultra yummy dog treats but as far as people food goes I'd love to bring some yummy salad or the like BUT I'm driving from out of state & I'm also going to be away from home for 6-10 days as I'll be visiting some other areas while I'm out that way. I don't want anythign to spoil or get squished and I'm also not sure what stores or the like are in the area. I'm not one who usually brings some "genaric" snack to any gathering but this time I think I will have to. I guess It'll probably end up being some sort of chips & possibly some drinks too. Then though I am worried that many others from out of the area will bring the same items & we'll have too much of one thing & not enough of another.
