SEPN Summer Get together

[Starlady]

So, I count 12?

Me, Lilburner, Farside, Florida44 & Chief, tlwagg & 2, Abigayle & Thor, RWS & wife.

Elandil and 8GB as possibles.

I need to know how many eggs to make, lol.

[RWS]

I always get left out.  Starlady add 2 for RWS & wife.  We will bring that 4th of July dip I put the link to earlier and a blueberry delight.  I also want to set up a tonic water tasting station with various flavors of fruit juice.

[Starlady]

I'm sorry!

[RWS]

I'm sorry!

No problem.  I plan to come whether or not my name is on the list.  I need to get rid of some blueberries and don't want to miss a seed exchange.

[Abigayle]

I forgot to ask if we are going to use social distance?  Thor and I are still being very careful.  We still want to be able to visit... Thoughts everyone?

[Starlady]

I hope we are, I'll have a mask off and on depending on what we're doing and will pass on the hugs this time around.

Handshakes/holds are fine, we can sanitize, lol!

[tlwagg]

There may me 4 of us coming! My son needs to see if he has the time.

[florida44]

We are not sure we will make it. I have my 2 little cousins visiting me from Warner Robins this week and we need to take them home on Saturday. If we can get out early enough we might make it just not sure as there was a ton of construction traffic down that way last week, it took us 4 hours to make a 2 hour trip.

Will definitely be in VA.

[Abigayle]

You will be missed, safe travels.... all you Beans...
I think I am bringing a yellow squash, stuffing, bacon, sour cream casserole.  Will it be inside the room we had for the Christmas party?

[Lilburner]

I'll be bringing drinks as always, but bottled drinks due to anticipated light turnout and less communal handling.

There was some talk of providing individual condiment packets, but it proved to be unfeasible. Hand sanitizer at the end of the food line looks to be the better bet.

Can anyone share a "pump" style sanitizer? I'm happy to share mine, but it's unwieldy in "liquor" bottles and too liquid so you wind up pouring it all over everywhere.

I understand one member is bringing me some Clorox/Lysol wipes that I've been in short supply of, and I'm happy to share.

Any other safety concerns we should address?

[tlwagg]

Hubby just had tooth extracted and tomorrow he will have the implant so he's a maybe.

[Starlady]

I've made a bunch of hand sanitizer, I can bring a 16 oz pump bottle of it.  It's almost 70% alcohol, so it'll work.

[Abigayle]

This will be our first outing in a very long time and we are really looking forward to it, even though we will have to be social distancing.  No choice in the matter.  Sorry it will be a very small group, but happy to re-connect with those who are going..Had we known, at the Christmas party, that this would be happening into July, we could have stayed longer, like partied into the night.

[RWS]

The wife & I are planning to come.  We plan to stop and see Ravenwood1950 and drop off a sweet shrub, then visit Magical Stitches but still plan to be there early.  Early to set up an appetizer table and Tonic Water tasting station.  We will also have a table set up with a door prize.  Does it sound like we want to unload some blueberries??
