Ärende: picnic? 492
===================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> but we're going on  RH>> a day to day basis there.
 ML> Would it be possible to piggyback on those dates - that way
 ML> you could be, assuming we are in the northeast, within striking
 ML> distance of your father.

 RH> We're planning on heading north before then to visit family in NY so
 RH> could do a mid July or mid August picnic. If it were July, we'd do the
 RH> picnic, visit family, then go to VT. If a mid August picnic were the
 RH> plan, we'd visit family, go to VT, next, the picnic and then home.

 NB> Just before I left for my trip last week, I got a callback from Linda.
 NB> She is still renting out the cottage... and happens to have the 3rd
 NB> week of August (16-23) still open...  So I told her to pencil us in to
 NB> hold
 NB> it while I checked back here to see if that would work out for us...

Sounds like it would be ideal for us. We finish our work in VT some time
Friday, not sure if it's after breakfast or lunch, so would head that
way by early afternoon at the latest. We'd have to find a place to hang
out Friday night and Saturday/night before the official gathering; it
would be a bit too far to go to M'ville.

 NB> Boyd Pond is not all that far from VT, generally people with major
 NB> medical crises get sent to Burlington (rather than Syracuse, for
 NB> example), so it might make an easy trip over...

We'll be in Waterbury--want us to bring some Ben & Jerrry's ice cream?



 NB>  DS>> Time for Boyd pond again?
 NB>  ML>> Now that's something. Of course, we'd all have to chip in
 NB>  ML>> a reasonable amount, if indeed your neighbor is still renting.

 RH> We missed the first one but would enjoy being part of a redo.

 NB> I saw that, and that was part of why I followed up with checking with
 NB> Linda...  I'm sure you'd enjoy the Pond..  :)   The price remains the
 NB> same as last time, $600 for the week (divisible by the number of
 NB> people for the per person cost), rental generally goes Sunday to
 NB> Sunday, but
 NB> that doesn't mean you have to be there for the entire time... If we
 NB> have more than 6 people, I'm presuming that it would be the
 NB> $100/person
 NB> additional, like she quoted before... I forgot to ask her that

We'll see how things play out as we get closer to the date but it does
sound like a fun time. Steve is already thinking of one thing he wants
to make, to get opinions from this group how he's doing on developing
his gluten free, dairy free cooking.

 NB> specific question when we talked.  :)  The loft apartment over the
 NB> garage across the road is probably also available, under separate
 NB> terms.

 ML> For me, everything has to be done before 8/25.

 RH> Mid July or mid August might work best, if the place is available.

 NB> Looks like the availabilities may dovetail nicely, then...  :)

Seems that way, at least for now.
