After the wonderful experience of meeting Nicole and Shane, I am getting excited about the July 20th barbecue.

I know that all of us are sorry that Lut and her family will not be able to visit this year. I hope that after her surgery she will be pain free and we can look forward to a visit next year.

But I wanted everyone to know that I am still planning on having the barbecue on July 20th!

Richard, I will p/m you back - thanks for your generous offer!

Kelly and David, I will be in touch with you too.

Laurie, I can pick you up from the airport, train station, however you would like to plan your trip.

I have a guest room with a queen hide-a-bed (a comfortable one)
and the first person who speaks up - gets it!

I hope as many people as possible are able to come......just look how much fun everyone had in Ohio!

Karen and Paul, aren't you guys just the best for giving us all so many new friends?
