Ärende: Picnic 2011 Proposal
============================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> I got more detailed information from my friend that rents out the
 NB> cottage(s) at Boyd Pond where I have my camp.  So, I'm ready to fly
 NB> the proposal now...  ;)  She normally rents from Sun-Sun, so that
 NB> influenced setting the dates...

 NB> The tentative date for the picnic would be August 7-14 (or some

Not really good, too close to when school starts. I know, we made a fast
trip to NY in August this year the week before school started but that
was for a family emergency.  BTW, my MIL had her heart cathaterization
proceedure; a 20% blockage was found but she was told that's normal for
her age range.  She continues to improve but still has trouble with
remembering names.

 NB> portion thereof).  If that isn't a good time, the following week is
 NB> also
 NB> available, Aug 14-21.  Her rates are $100 per person for the week, and

Definately out; classes start the 18th of August.  Sorry, but school is
too intense to miss even a day of class if at all possible.

 NB> she needs a minimum of $700 for the cottage for the week.  The cottage
 NB> sleeps 11, it has 3 bedrooms (1 with 2 twin beds, the other 2 each
 NB> have a double bed), a sleeper in the living room, and a sleeper and a
 NB> daybed on the screened porch.  I can take some overflow in my camp, 4

Sounds roomy enough; it would have held all of this year's gathering
with room left over.

 NB> There is a bathroom with a shower, the kitchen is fully equipped and

One bathroom for a crowd could get interesting. (G)

 NB> she has some larger pans and baking pans that she'd make available for
 NB> us if we request them.  There's a gas stove and a large refrigerator.

If we could make it, I generally try to bring a lot of my own stuff,
especially if I know it's needed. If it's not needed, there's no
problem.

 NB> The
 NB> table has leaves to make it seat more... plenty of room for us.
 NB> Outside, there are 2 gas grills, 3 picnic tables, an outdoor fire pit
 NB> with wood supplied.  There are plenty of lawn chairs, a rowboat with
 NB> electric motor, a dock, a floating dock.  Fishing licenses probably
 NB> not needed as it is considered private property.

Sounds like it would be fun, especially if the weather is nice. Just got
the weekly letter from my parents; they had quite a bit of rain in the
Catskills last Thursday & Friday.  Some flooding but they weren't
affected.

 NB> and people could just stick around as they wish...  (Only 2 picnics
 NB> actual
 NB> experience, and know of a third, so I'm not sure what might be
 NB> "normal"?)

Normal is only a setting on the clothes dryer with this group; you
haven't figured that out yet? (G)

 NB> I'll need to let her know if we have enough people to make it a go.
 NB> For now, she is holding those dates for me.  Any interest?

Interest, yes.  Ability to make it, very doubtful to not at all. :(
