Indeed! The food was great — definitely not on my regular diet, either, with meat at every dinner. Oy! And the company was fantastic, thanks to the five little girls running around causing chaos and creating so much simple joy.

Great shots of the girls in their aprons. Miss you guys already. Can we do this next week???!!!!

SO, somehow this got really messed up. After an off-blog email, we have come to this conclusion:

Saturday night: Pizza/salad night
Sunday night: Doug: flank steak, corn, salad
Monday night: Mom: Lasagna
Tuesday night: Gene: Greek (or Wed night)
Wednesday night: Doug/Gene: Tacos (or Tues night)
Thursday Night: TBD
Friday night: Hamburgers!

Ok then, we’ll do tacos on Sunday. Let’s see what we have in the way of leftovers on Tuesday. If we need eats, we’ll do Greek Vegas night, complete with gambling and uozo.

I talked to Mary this morning and she agreed that while she and Sue had offered to make a meal they were quite willing to let others take over that task on the two nights they will be with us. Therefore, I am offering to make lasagna with sauce that I can make and freeze at home in advance and simply assemble at Carp. I told them that they could make salad that night (Monday — the “big” night”) if they felt like it. Since that IS the “big” night, I would be very happy if someone would take on the dessert part. I figure there will be 11 adults and 7 kids =18. Ice cream and osmetlhing seems like a good solution. I will ask the valley crew to bring some pre-dinner snacks.

Marianne, please pick a night to make dinner, instead of, you know, not making dinner at all. Love, your brother Doug. Kisses and hugs, too.

We will have lyrics for all these songs, sing if you like, no one will be forced to sing. And no one will grill you in front of the American public even if you are little “pitchy”…
