Because we enjoy good company and good food.

So, it looks like it's Dave and I... This could be a little awkward. With 48 hot dogs and all...

Well, I know a few others said that they could come. Plus another family might (they don't post much though).

I just want to hear from them for sure, and what they're bringing.

Brenda and I will be there. I haven't missed one yet, which surprises me since I work weird hours.

Just have to get her to make up some baked beans. ;)

I apologize to everyone in advance: looks like it'll be a rainy crappy day all day. :cry: :oops:

I just wanted everyone to know an important rule for tomorrow:
please DO NOT let the cat outside. She's an indoor cat only. The dog is fine though.

And, don't worry about bringing any presents for the birthday girl. That's NOT a requirement. This is a DELOC meeting primarily. And remember to bring your weapon(s)!!

It looks like the RSVP list is thus:

dave_in_delaware - sodas, ice, water, hopefully a cake (if I find time to bake)
MrCoolDale +1 - hot dogs, rolls, potatoes
Wynder +3 - ??
stephpd +1 - baked beans
cappilot06 +2 - pies
Newark Mike +1 - paper plates, plastic cups, napkins

Sounds like a decent turn-out. I look forward to meeting some new people, and seeing the "old" regulars tomorrow!

I spent a little over two hours getting them done, but I got the Irish Potatoes done. Unfortunately the batch is a little smaller than I had hoped. One of my potatoes turned out to be no good. No worries though, I'll still have some.

OK guys, sounds great. But I must ask: WTF are you doing up so :censored: EARLY??!! :shock: :shock:

I don't think I'll have time to bake anything, so store-bought will have to do.

We'll plan on cooking (grilling) right away around 1:00pm. Menu:

Hamburgers
Hot Dogs
Irish Potatoes
Baked Beans
Chips + dip
Mac-n-cheese (if needed/wanted)
Cake
Pie
Soda
Water
Coffee

We also have Miller Light (in cans), a bottle of red wine, and 2 bottles of white zin wine. If you want something different, or your kids prefer juice, you'll have to bring it along. ;)

Please, leave your pets at home. We have plenty here for you to play with.

We'll see everyone soon! Gates open at 1:00pm!

Hey guys,
The girls and I are still planning on coming. We won't be able to get there until after naps, but are shooting for 2pm. Will bring pies with us for dessert!

See you then!

Well, our last guests left a little while ago, so it's time for a mini "range report."

WHAT AN AWESOME AND FUN DAY!

My fiancee and I had a blast hosting the meeting. We enjoyed meeting some new members (MrCoolDale and g/f, and Newark Mike), and seeing some of the regulars again! We had a great time chatting, laughing, and just "hanging" with all of you! Hopefully we can do it again sometime soon (before Meeting #11).

Thank you to everyone for bringing some goodies along! We had MORE than enough food for everyone.

And my fiancee wanted to thank everyone who wished her a happy birthday, and brought presents/cards. She loves her gifts!

We hope everyone had an enjoyable time, had enough to eat, and made it home safely!

Hey Dave!
Even though we couldn't stay too long, we had a blast! Toni said she's sorry she couldn't make it. And Happy Birthday again to Carmen! Thank you for having us all over. I'm glad I got to meet a couple new faces, and hopefully will get to see everyone again at our next get-together.

Thanks for a great Meeting #10!
