Please list what you plan on bringing in the comments. I really don't know how to do this other than this way. Then I'll post your comment in the main entry,
**Rockport aunts are bringing the meats. Anna is doing brisket and maybe chicken, or ham, Ruth is doing a turkey, I don't yet know what Kathy is doing, and don't know if NeNe was told(!). Anyone who wants to can bring a meat dish too, of course. And for heavens sake don't take anything I say as gospel!! We're going with the flow here!**
**Updated again to say** I think we're pretty well covered at this point. There will be some odds and ends that are needed at the last minute, but that will get done. So all in all I think we're good to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone!
Eileen said she would bring plates, napkins, cutlery and cups. (She's got us covered for the whole day.) Also said she'd bring a big ole platter of cookies.
Teresa -
I'll do a large side and a dessert. I'm shooting at green beans and
blueberry cobbler, but that is subject to change. ;o)
Janine - I will do a large marinated vegetable salad and a dessert or two.
Patty - I may do a giant trifle thingy. Maybe some coleslaw.
I'll do some food stuffs. I've got a big cake pan. Hum???
Ruth - Hmmm... no one has signed up for the vermicelli. I am volunteering
potato salad and dessert of some sort. Also have large crock pot for
use by anyone, and a large oven I can bring to keep meats hot. All this
can be worked out by those of us who live in town.
Kim - Hi all! I'll bring a homemade mac and cheese and a dessert or two. See ya there,
Kathy - I will bring at least two pounds of cooked pinto beans plus some kind of dessert and whatever else is needed.
Aaron - Fruit tray, coz that's how I roll. (for breakfast)
Edith - I can put my name in the hat for breakfast stuff. Naturally it will be oatmeal and fruit.
No, it will be stuff other people eat.
Paula - I"ll do a big ol' corn casserole and uhhh...how about...cookies!! Can't go wrong with cookies! :)
Judy T. R. - I will bring watermelon(s)
Eric 'n Kelly sent the following - We can bring drinks of the malty variety and perhaps from the vine,
too. I think we'll pitch in with whatever needs getting when we get
there! So, we're open to suggestions.
Geoff & Aimee - will bring a big fat Greek salad, a box of red wine and maybe a dessert.
John & Stephanie - will bring deviled eggs.
There have been a couple of request for a Talent show!
And a Story telling session!!
Aunt Anna is looking into the CD of a Historic Rockport tour.
Please add your ideas of what you'd like to see us do.
And let us know what activities you'd like to be a part of (Uncle Vic, I want you signed up for storytelling! Ditto the Reed guys!!)
Parents, sign up those lovely talented kiddos!
I've asked Mama, and she is going to talk to Anna, and then look in to the different options available on the meat. I told her, and am now letting the rest of you know, that I'd like to see more than just brisket. What about ham, turkey, and chicken? Around here there are a couple of places that I can take my meat to and have them cook it. I'm sure there are places in the Rockport area that will do the same. Or we can divy it up and cook it ourselves. (Using the local residents available ovens.)
