Boston Potluck Saturday, November 4

Deb and I are planning to be there.


Be kind to us - we are virgins at this event....

Mmmm, Giggy, virgins! Well, that will save us having to do The Lottery...you're automatically selected unless any other virgins declare themselves.

I am so hoping I can be there. I'll work on it and let you know.

Periwinkle,

Don't break my heart again. Fingers are crossed.

Oh. Very sad. A very good and wonderful friend is turning 40 and her husband is throwing a surprise party that same night. There is no way that I can miss this event.

I was really looking forward to catching up with everyone!

Potluck reminder

Just rolling this thread to the top, in case anyone hasn't noticed and would like to join in. Oh, and if you're bailing, let me know - Pat and I really don't want to eat leftovers for 2 weeks! I've got a head count of about 30.

I came up with a count of 36 people from this thread . . . we are still coming . . . 3 of us and let me know if there is something specific you'd like us to bring.

I'm brand new to VFTT and would like to get to know other VFTT'ers. Perhaps I can crash this party?

My cooking skills are limited, but I can make a mean salad or a big batch of homemade Chex Mix.

Audrey,

Is this event wheelchair friendly? There's a certain somebody that bailed on taking me for a ride today (Saturday 10.28) because of the rain, I used to think they were a serious hiker but I'm giving that second thoughts now.... I might be able to guilt them into it if they are still going....

Of course, if there is someone else in the area (Proctorsville, VT) that might be interested in helping out a handicapper.....sure would be nice to get out of the house and see some of you folks

If not I understand...this gathering appears to be made up of mostly people from MA and I'm way up in Southern, VT.

Wheelchair friendly

Hey, UFC. There is a very good chance that I will be in Rutland the evening of Nov. 3rd and driving to Lexington on the 4th for the potluck. You're welcome to ride along as well as anyone else in the area, Una Dogger? I can get you back home, too.

Oh, even if half of us didn't bring any food at all you'd have that many leftovers.

We're still going to be there, guilt-free.
*cough*

WOOO HOOO, now we're talkin! I got to thinkin that Una (wait, did I just divulge who I was referring to before ) is probably going to be spending the entire weekend down in MA with Michael J anyway....

I'll PM you with my tele, that would be great if it worked out Of course this is assuming that it's wheelchair friendly. It's (or should I say "I'm") really not a big hassle, I got a piggy back ride into my friends house last weekend and dumped into a lazy chair - moderation of fluid consumption and I was all set for over 5 hours. I'm assuming that there are people out their that are capable of carrying some weight on their back?

If not, it sounds like an opportunity for people to practice a 2 person first-aid carry...

We'll get you indoors somehow . . .
Actually it is a minimal number of stairs and I am sure we can carry you in . . .
Audrey, it is sounding like a big party

Hey Steve
No problems! One way or another we'll get you inside!
(and I promise not to push you down any big hills in your wheelchair!!)

I may be there in company with VFTTer's that are my neighbors Looking forward to meeting all of you and seeing friends!

In that case, you may find the potluck boring--Pat and Audrey's house is on a flat area.
