We'll be gathering at the park in my folk's neighborhood at 1pm on Sunday, March 22nd. There are grills, beautiful fields of green grass, and lake access (Let my mom know ASAP if you've got a boat/jet ski/etc. you'd like to bring). So come one, come all, and feel free to bring a friend.
My mom has picked up the tab for the hall, which gives us some air conditioning and bathrooms, but NOTHING ELSE IS PROVIDED. We'll call this pot luck. If you're so inclined, you can post a comment with what you'll be bringing- drinks, coolers with ice, paper products, charcoal, chips, meat, etc.- or just show up with whatever suits you. Just don't do the thing where you bring one bag of chips and eat 4 hamburgers and drink 3 beers. That's just not cool. Don't be that guy.
Oh, wait. Ivan, you get no choice. You bring ribs. I've heard you've gotten a new recipe, and Jen and I have huddled together on many a cold lonely night with only thoughts of your ribs to provide some small measure of comfort.
Ok, that's crap. But still. Bring ribs.
Few other points:
- I became an honorary uncle repeatedly over the last year. I'd better see my new nephews.
- We're not doing a Facebook or Myspace event. I just don't want to deal with it. You can invite folks, pass the word, etc. but this is a low stress event. Whoever shows up, great.
- We will need help with clean up. I'm not stressing because we've always had plenty of people willing to, but please keep it in mind here.
- Yes, beer, wine, and spirits are fine.
- Yes, this is a family friendly event.
I've got another post coming soon detailing our Australian adventures. Don't have the time to do it now, but I'll give you a
SIGN TIME!!! as a sneak preview.
I love it. I love it I love it I love it I love it.
But no, I didn't act aggressively. It was too early in the day to hear the words "escort you off the property," even with the cool accent.See ya (next) Sunday!

Love the the new pic!! I've got a lot to say, but I'll save it for later. Godspeed.
Oh! Also, there is a full kitchen in the clubhouse. If anyone would like/need to use it. There are a lot of people we have not seen in too long, including "those 2". Really looking forward to seeing everyone!
Hey Bub,
I'll bring some beer and a god 10 pounds of some sort of meat. See you then!!
I meant a good 10 pounds. Sorry.
I'll bring the Hurricanes and some stuff to throw on the grill.
I'll bring some kind of corn casserole side dish thing and a cobbler. Oh, Dave's trying his darndest to get the time off!! (a little short notice for him, but he's doing his best for you two) And I guess I'll bring your nephew..... Goodess, I feel like a kid, my friends are coming home!!!
This last sign was the best one yet!!!

Jeff will be bringing a keg, & Dan will bring a sound system!
I love the fact that my husband has already answered for us... lol... and made it sound like he honestly has a "say" in it! lol
But, I just happen to agree with him... this one time. We'll bring a batch of hurricanes, along with some beer or something (in a big cooler full of ice). And, we'll bring some stuff for the grill (+ buns and fixin's). And, if you're really nice, I might just make some other fun munchies to snack on. ;o)
=P @ Kristen
I will push you down the stairs woman! =)
