Here are some more details about our get together this Saturday, specifically the food part. Here's what I know:

 

I'll have donuts waiting here for you. Duck is bringing some coffee and homemade cookies. He's getting the coffee at DD, and mentioned bringing decaf and regular. I'll have cups on hand, I'll try to figure out the cream/sugar part. Does anyone need artificial sweetener?

 

I'll have soft drinks (probably diet and regular Coke) and water to drink.

 

I'll provide (most) lunch. I'll have fried chicken, potato wedges, mac N cheese, plates, tableware, napkins. Keith has mentioned bringing cole slaw. I'll also have a fruit bowl(apples/bananas). If the melon gods are smiling, I'll have some cantaloupe. My melons are up there with the best we've ever had, but that also makes them popular our kids and the local rodents. No promises on the melon, but we'll try.

 

Should I get chips or something for the afternoon? Not planning to do so at the moment, but can adjust.

 

What did I forget?

Pie????

You've gone all out, Fred. It sounds like a great time to be had by all. Wish I lived a tad...well several tads...closer.

What time are we starting?   Expected number of attendees?  Thanks for organizing

 

Black coffee for me.  Half-caff unless you want me running to the john all afternoon.

10:00 ish. or when ever you get here. Lunch at noon. A the moment we expect to have 7.

 

Well, I lied. It looks like Irishwoodcarver and his wife plan to be here, so that's 9

hammocks for our nap time

Need potato salad?

I'll leave the potato salad up to the group, I'm pretty sure I'll stuffed with what we have so far...even so, I do love potato salad.

 

As for the hammock, I have one that I haven't had time to hang (not sure I have a place, either) but if a couple of folks hold it, the other could take turns with a nap.

 

Gene mentioned "pie", and I can get a couple of store bought pies, then we can all have a piece and toast him from afar.

No need to go to any extra trouble buying pies for us. Just a drumstick or wing salute will suffice for us guys too far away to participate.

If I can steal some of Fred’s WiFi, we could FaceTime folks from afar 

Sounds like a great menu! I wish a lived several furlongs closer.
