She has a regular (comes every year) there the first week in August, so
that week wasn't available.  I knew that you guys were away in July...
if she has anything still open the last week or so of July, is that any
better?  Or we could schedule the picnic proper for earlier in the
August week, and whoever wanted to could just stay out the week?
