Family Reunion - Looking Ahead

Hello, you all,
I have just scouted out our meeting place for the reunion. I think we lucked out big time. The house mother and father are outstanding. They didn't know I was spying out the territory, yet I was royally taken care of. One day Dan drove a carfull to the beach just before dinner time. We walked along a path directly above the sand area, smelled the salt air, felt the mild breeze, heard the ocean, and watched birds flying over the waves, and dolphins swimming in them. Next trip I expect to be watching a bunch of you enjoying the water.

Every morning I found freshly brewed coffee waiting for me. There was one morning when Kathy needed to be away for a while, so before I got downstairs she had gone to buy a paper for me to read while she was gone. She selected the Times, knowing my interests bent more in that paper's direction than the one she chooses to read. The height of thoughtfulness!

I fully expect that such services will be equally shared by all of us, not just the house mother and father, but you will find it easy to do because the house is already used to providing that sort of hospitality.

I also found there is a pin ball machine installed in a room upstairs. Learning that it can score for 4 different people, I started thinking about a team tournament, with 3 people on each team (you can see that multiplies nicely into about the number we expect, possibly omitting Everett, GGma, and anyone else who is more interested in Scrabble or the like.) Actually, I might want to opt for grand score keeper.

Cholada has promised faithfully to be in charge of Saturday night's dinner. (Get ready, you on the selected team.)I am counting on a Cranium evening. Matt is rooting for lawn darts, I believe, but first he had better look for a lawn. A water volley ball game has been mentioned. And here it is only April! Bocce ball and croquet have also been offered. Also some variations of them which seem to belong with the X game category.

Does any of this sound good to you? Let us hear from you.

Love,
GGma

I know, I know, I already e mailed this to all. BUT I was still waiting on instructions on how to use the family blog, until Matt told me tonight that it has been up and running, and there are a few comments on it. So I plan to switch to using it, and invite the rest of you who have not been asleep to use it too.
ALL ABOARD?
