June 5th Bash

I am so excited too. Christine, Denise, and myself will be going shopping soon to get the goody bag stuff and door prizes. We appreciate the help with that. We want it to be nice. Baked beans sounds good. I will post closer to the bash who all I have heard from so we will know how many we are preparing for. I hope we have an excellent turn out. Melissa

Rhonda my dear... You are doing so great!! You will be coming down 49S. Just get on 49S from Gulfport and come all the way down until you get to the 49/Hardy St Intersection. Its the red light just past Forrest General Hosp. You wont miss the hospital. It will be on your left. When you get to that red light beside Walgreens you will turn right going E on Hardy St. Its a couple of miles down that road and will be on your right. Go past the tennis courts and you will see the big pavilion just as you cross the bridge. Cant wait to see you there!

You havent forgotten anything... you are doing a great job!!

As for as I know it will be me and my 2 little ones. Jill is 6 and Jeremy is 9. I am bringing green beans and potato salad. I will try to get there as soon as I can around 11. If what i have listed isn't needed or a good idea let me know. I can fix most anything. I just need ideas. Chicken like stir fried is easy if we need meat. Just let me know. I am not tolerating food food well at all. I do well with liquids and stuff like broth and liqor from stuff. I started taking in stuff to my pouch just 2 weeks ago. do you think I should worry. I do fine otherwise. Just bored with my choices. I blended up soup yesterday and that was gross. Well I will stop rambling. Can't wait to see you. Jane

Glad you are going to make it. Green beans and potato salad sounds good to me. I think we will have plenty of meat. Becky is doing a turkey and I think I am going to do a ham. I am sure others will bring meat dishes too. I am going to do a ham and also a sugar free dessert or two. Depends on how much time I have as to how many desserts I bring. I will be helping decorate the pavilion that morning early. Then of course I have to get my two kids dressed and my cooking done. It will definitely be a full day and fun too. I am really excited about seeing everyone. I just can hardly wait. Melissa

Hi Melissa, I will be there with my kids, boy 13yrs, boy 9yrs, girl 8yrs, and boy 5yrs. My dear hubby will be out of town that day. I can bring hot dogs & buns with the condiments. How many people do you estimate will be there so far? I will bring alot of hot dogs, kids always love hot dogs. If that doesn't fit into the plan, just let me know and I'll do anything you ladies want. I appreciate all you work behind the scenes. I would like to order a T-shirt. Size Large, roomy I know but I am still uncomfortable ordering a medium even after all this time. Please let me know how/when to pay you. I would also like to contribute cash for the treat bags/door prizes/decorations. I can't imagine you and Christine having to finance the entire bash alone.

Elesha, Hey, I am glad you are coming. Hot dogs sounds great. Christine and I met the other day and thought we should have a big crock pot full of hot dogs for the kids. So if you do hot dogs and buns and such that will be great. Right along with what we were thinking. I have a 13 yr old son too. He will be glad to know he will have someone there to hang out with. I will get your T-shirt ordered. Melissa
