I'm sure CLAMS will be on the menu...and I've put in an order for good weather - hopefully I have an in with the weather GODS! Please share this link with any family members I might have left out - I don't know Dakota's e-mail and don't know if Cheryl has one, so feel free to pass it along!
We wouldn't miss it for the world, very excited to be able to have all 4 of my grandkids there for this years event. Giffy and I and the 2 gifford grandkids are planning on arriving Friday morning as are Steve, Michele, and the wyckoff grandkids. Loretta will be coming up for the day on Saturday and I believe her and kids and Michele, Steve and kids are leaving on Saturday.. So I'll have some catching up with ya'all at the campfire for Saturday nite... Hope you can handle that, I know I'm up for it.... Sis are we doing the fried Turkey again or do ya have something else up your sleeve??
Hi Sue and Ed, just came home from camp-lots of emails to answer. We will be thrilled to come-PLEASE, what can we bring? I also want to send some money towards the clams and other food. I see Snuffy has put in an order for clams! LOL Have a great day! Hugs, Rooty
Mom can't even figure out how to email!! We are coming on Friday..after we check out at NorthHampton Beach! Gonna be pretty cranky..Um kids might be, too!
Why would you be cranky?? After a week or so of camping you should be really chilled out and totally relaxed. Have heard you like something called Mikes or Ikes wicked lemonade or is it cider??? We could have some on ice for your arrival if you'd like maybe that would chill you out so you won't be cranky.. Let me know if this is what is needed and see ya at Plunder Bay.. Tell my beautiful niece-goddaughter I'll see her next week... We are going to learn the bunny-hop (instructor...Grammy) Love to all.. Aunt Bev
Glad to see we have something going on here! I think everyone likes the fried turkey, so we will keep that on the menu - it has been suggested that we get some strips to cut up into steaks to do on the grill to go along with the turkey - what's everyone's thoughts I that - if we go that route I will probably do some chix breasts too - maybe using Brookes BBQ recipe. I have received 11 yeses - 3 maybes (don't know who they are) and one NO....but I don't think she meant it!!
Sissy, That sounds good to me, might not even need the chicken!! Just maybe some dogs for little ones???? I think I'm gonna do the baked bean recipe with a few minor changes. The 4 of us are still doing same as last year you keep track and we will split, if you want some $$ up front let me know or maybe I'll just pop a check in the mail Monday. Hope your back is on the mend I plan on You and Giffy taking the twist contest prize at the reunion, It will give you practice for Tonys' wedding so you can sweep for the championships. Love ya, Little sis
