Laura's New Address
I moved this weekend! My camera is under the weather, and Mom apparently didn't think it all that exciting, so there are no pictures. Letters, boxes of cookies, unemployment checks and anything else not banned by the post office can be sent to:

Who Is Ready To PARTY!?!
The party weekend is almost here! Who's ready for it!?!
I've talked to a few of you and you have expressed interest in coming to Avon on Friday evening and camping out (since we never camped this summer) - It looks as though the weather is going to cooperate - Joe plans to put the meat on around midnight, which means it should be ready around noon on Saturday and we'll eat all day!
Who plans to come Friday night? The pizza bar will be open - suggestions for pizza toppings? Need some idea of attendance so we know how much dough to make!
Throw your lawn chairs in your car in case we need more seating.
ACCOMMODATIONS:
We have one large tent, one Lightning McQueen tent, four sleeping bags, and 3 bedrooms available. Bring anything else you may need!
FOOD:
Lisa is bringing meatballs, chicken salad croissants, lots of desserts, plates, forks, and decorations
Joe is planning to have the pizza bar open Friday evening. He is making ribs and pork shoulders for Saturday's feast. I will make the slaw for the pork butt.
Karen, are you still planning to bring salads, cups?
Angela, are you still planning to bring some desserts? You may not need to bring desserts - check with Lisa.
DRINKS:
What do we want to do about this???
ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE:
Swimming
Cornhole
Horseshoes (someone bring the rules!)
Movies
Wii
Library
Fishing Lakes
Bike Paths
Walking Trails

Open house
Anyone who would like to visit Eric earlier than the 22nd is more than welcome to come to the open house tomorrow (8/16). The food will not be nearly as good as at the Riley's, but I did not cook a lot of it so it should be edible.
