all righty- Not too early is always good with me. Let's play it by ear. I will do what I can to clean out the fridge prior to the weekend. We'll make it work.
I'm not holding much hope for my drumming skills but I do enjoy the gifts of others.
As for fireworks...kind of iffy due to the piles of dead trees and dry grass around here. Could start a forest fire. Our fire department has good intentions but is volunteer. By the time they get to a fire, it tends to be almost over. I usually run a hose back to the fire pit just in case.

all righty then
what time on the 17th? whenever one can arrive? Not too early I hope. I have a new cake recipe I want to try .......
bug juice is a requirement at any such event, goes without saying. at anything outdoors as far as I am concerned. I swear the little blighters see me coming.
and almost everyone has at least 2 or 3 coolers so we can manage, we always do. if worse comes to worse we can make ice runs.
and drumming oh goodie
I love drumming and dancing. two classes, that will be fun.
Conir will bring his dumbek too. his hand is clearing up enough he thinks he can try drumming.
FIREWORKS. can we shoot them off at your place? if not, we can save them for July 4 at Lone Stone.

I can definitely teach you how to drum. I don't know anything (yet)
about bongos, but I always bring spare doumbeks along to events like
these.
In fact, I'm starting to plan not one but two drumming classes for
Memorial weekend. One for people who know a bit about drumming, the
other for people who know little to nothing about it. So get there
early - classes fill up fast! Oh who am I kidding? I'll probably have
a drum in my hands half the time and be more than willing to blather
about it to anyone who will listen.
Now, I'm off to look up bongo instructions...

> I am limited to just the one refrigerator but I have two or three coolers. I have the one coffee maker but do have another carafe to use while more is brewing so the urn is optional. How many people are we planning on??? A port-o-john was mentioned at one time.
> I hate to even mention this but, don't forget mosquito juice. They have already made an appearance here as soon as it warms up in the least. Blood thirsty beasts.

> if you have the kitchen, gas grill and cooking grate covered we should be good in the cooking department. we just need to know who wants to do what meal. I have 4 racks of ribs for at least part of one supper. since it is pork we will need another entree to go with them. and I can pick up a couple of boxes of homades too. How are you set for refrigeration?

> We have a big coffee urn if you need us to bring it. there are some hard core coffee addicts in the group, just in case you haven't figured that out yet.

> Hi Everyone-
> Memorial weekend is fast approaching. Eek. I would appreciate any help getting set up for the sale. Next weekend being mother's day has become filled with family stuff around here. But other than that my schedule is pretty flexible. If anyone has time during the week or weekends other than next weekend, just call me (262-642-3719 or 262-745-2069) and we'll do it. I think I have enough stickers/ tags. We could use some tables. I have some signs and can make some more. If you have things you would like to contribute, bring them (hopefully before the sale). I am thinking of starting the sale Friday if all is ready because the hard core rummagers are out even though the city- wide sale isn't official until Saturday. (I've been getting asked about it by neighbors etc. already). Can anybody lend a hand on Friday? Saturday morning is another busy time.
> As for camping- what do you need from me? Other than a kitchen, I have a gas grill, I have a grate that I use over the burning pit to cook. I have a tripod for over coals too (not a very good one though). I have cast iron for cooking over a fire too. What else?????????????

> to begin with, we will be participating in the East Troy city wide yard/rummage sale, many thanks to Kim for the idea and the use of her home and garage. We will need a few people to gather and help Kim with the pricing, arranging, etc. ( Plus to get first crack at the goodies ;-)) be thinking of what shift you want to "work" during the sale, because I know of at least two people who are planning on hitting some of the other sales areas.

> Kim if you would please let us know when would be the best time to do this. and how many people you think you will need to help.

> Secondly, food--anyone wishing to camp at Kim's be thinking of which meal you want to participate in/make/help prepare. be aware of food allergies please, we don't want to make any emergency room trips.---watermelon, cloves, mushrooms.
