May 7 and 8

I don't know why this has a place for me to select a font and size when it just does what it wants to anyway.

As of TODAY we are planning a moonlight picnic down at my parent's branch for Friday, May 7. We'll do chickens on the grill and contact local people to bring sides, and everyone can bring drinks for his own family. Saturday, May 8, at Dale's we have a social hour starting at six and we'll order dinner at seven. We're trying to find some sort of favor...koozies, mugs or something. Cost will be $30 per person...that's dinner for two nights, whatever favor we come up with, and THE PLEASURE OF OUR COMPANY!

Directions to the branch...From Hwy 72, go south on Belview Road (county road 31), across from Outpost 72 (did y'all know that's Johnny Allen's baby sister's place?). Take the first right, which is county road 171. My parents live in the first house on the right in the curve. Pull SLOWLY into the driveway...we have kids and dogs all over the place. If you are in a truck or car, drive straight down the dirt road instead of curving right up the driveway. If you are driving a showroom Corvette or a 2004 Lexus SUV (this has happened), pull into the yard and call 710-1177 and someone with a more practical ride will come up and get you. If you don't have a cell phone, go into the house and call. We have a great place set up down there with tables and grills and it's beautiful at night. Several of us will be there all afternoon, so come early or late. It's negotiable.

In case of rain? It's not going to rain.

On my way to Robbie's...he's found pictures of you in first, second and third grades. You know the ones...everyone sitting at his desk with hands neatly folded on the desktop. I'll post them later. Unless AOL goes on vacation again.
