DBro and I spent 15 minutes on the phone planning the logistics for the family gathering tomorrow. I do believe we are driving DSis a bit crazy by leaving details unplanned so close to the event. These family gatherings always work out. They aren't perfect but it is about being together. We are expecting 40-50 to attend. ANYways, we now have the bare basics of a plan developed -
** We are meeting in DNephew shop building (40'x60').
** DBro will get 3 free standing propane heaters in the morning and the building should be toasty warm by afternoon (we hope).
** Chairs - I'll bring half dozen lawn chairs and put on FB family page to BYOC (bring your own chair)
** Food is potluck and we ALWAYS have way too much.
** Plates, bowls, napkins and silverware......I have all that on hand. I'll load it all up and bring it.
** Tables for food - There are 4 available. DBro will bring another one and I'll bring a couple more.
** Drinks - DBro and I will both bring a case of water. Most family members bring their own drinks (Yeti cups).
** I'll bring basketballs (there are inside basketball goals) to keep the kids busy.
