Family Weekend!

As we are all aware, Julie is leaving for the Peace Corp early this summer. She would like us to have family weekend before she leaves, so let's get planning. May looks like the right month, but Memorial Day weekend is out because Gail is working and Nicole will be in China, and it is a little close to Julies departure. Let us know what your availability is both Mothers Days weekend (May 10-11th) and the following weekend(May 17-18th).

Obviously it will be too cold to take Mimere to Vermont - and let's face it, as much as I love you guys, it might be a little small to be holed up together in Vermont if the weather is bad. Paula has a few suggestions
  • pitch tournament
  • nice meal on Saturday evening
  • brunch on Sunday (possibly at Jericho following noon mass)
  • Young ones can go to a bar on Friday if they insist (Tina and Paula volunteer to join us!)
  • We could have our own bar - Peter makes a great raspberry martini

Throw out any other suggestions you might have - let's get together and have some fun! As Paula said, "All ideas are welcomed...now it is important that everyone get in on this conversation so be sure to talk with those who do not check the blog..."

Even if a whole family weekend doesn't work out, I want to have a party before I go so I can say goodbye to everyone, so you all better at least one night work

btw, I leave in 4 months, holy crap that's soon!
