elizabeth says she'll consider it but feels we can probably make it, unless, of course, something better comes up.

Charlie, Jim and Bill,

Thanks for getting back.

Charlie, I was counting on your proposed trip to NJ and PA.

Jim, yes I was aware that I was extending the invitation to a large group. More the merrier...
Rich considering - as in getting input from everyone as to the suitability of the date. He is not allowed to withdraw the invitation. What more, he has even agreed to be on his best behavior during dinner, with a designated area and time set aside for discussing volatile topics.

Bill, I am glad that Elizabeth has given a nod. Can't wait to give her a kiss, a squeeze and lift her high up in the air….

All, I sure can use some suggestions as to the menu, especially if it is to replace Easter dinner.

Talk to you soon.

Nanda, I would surely like to be at this dinner, but I will be away in California that weekend attending my nephew's wedding.However I certainly do not expect you to change the date based on one person's ( or two because Jim may go to wedding as well) inability to come. Its just an abundence of family fun all on one weekend. I am curious as to where the designated area will be for the discussion of volatile topics. Will it be cordoned off like a boxing ring? I really do not want to miss this.

Oh Marg,

I was looking forward to meeting you. However I understand that you need to be in California.

I hope to meet you really soon at Rich's place and I'll cook something, just to your liking.

****i where the designated area will be for the discussion of volatile topics. Will it be cordoned off like a boxing ring? I really do not want to miss this. ****

That's funny. May be we will tape it for future viewing and reference. (just kidding)

Talk to you soon.

Nanda dear, we met at Bill and Laura's Christmas party. I am looking forward to some of your cooking in the future.

Marg,

I realized it right away that I typed - 'looking forward to meeting' when I meant 'looking forward to meeting again'

I distinctly remember you from that party and also remember the dessert you had brought.

But I couldn't find a way to edit the comment, except to delete it completely and rewrite. I had to run to a meeting, so couldn't do that right away and now you already saw it...

;-(((

Oh well. I'll be more proactive in future...

Where is everyone going to sit at Rich's? Last time I was there a very large room with no where to sit. Does everyone need to bring a fold out chair? (I'm new to the family but like Jim, just being a wise-ass.

I dont know at this time if we can make it, I think we are heading to Shauna's wedding, but I have no idea as to the itenarary, I'll check with Sara.

OK - very valid point Dave.

But hopefully there is some furniture on the way. :-)
Some curtains are up. New dishes are already in the cabinets.. the furniture can’t lag that behind.
Any day now...

I hope that both of you can make it. I promise acceptable seating, good food, entertainment, amusement, thought provoking conversation, mind boggling discussions and more… Out of which I am responsible for the food part. I am depending on Rich and all of you to contribute to everything else… :-)

Hope to see you guys soon.

I think its great that Nanda wants to do all that is involved in getting ready for a dinner/party,and in making a house a home. The ballroom would be ideal for dancing! Squeak on Rickie!

Dear Jim and Marg,

Thanks for your comments. Made me feel good. And Marg, your comment - 'Making a house a home' particularly hit home. All these years I have owned a house, while craving for a home. It feels very soothing that Rich has opened up his house and encourages me to do whatever that I fancy. And all of you – his sons, his brothers, their families all have made me feel welcomed and at ease. I am grateful for that.

By all, do you really mean all? I am thinking you mean the bros, but then I see 86 people... so I am checking about cousins. Don't want to assume anything but don't want to ignore either. A dilemma! And really, Nanda, either way is fine.

Of course Tica, you are invited.

Looking forward to meeting you.

Sorry, I was gone yesterday - thanks so much, both of you, for this great invite. What fun! What can Tad and I bring? And by the way, you certainly haven't offended me, with the Bushisms - I agree that it would be funny if it weren't so frightening. And pathetic.
