First topic message reminder :

Time 1PM

Menu:

BBQ chicken, NJ honey and sweet corn, NJ Tomotoes, Potatoe and Macaroni Salad, Hamburgers, Hot Dogs, Tossed Green Salad.

Desert: Lemon Poppyseed Cake, Chocolate, Chocolate Chip Cake

Adult Beverages: Margaritas, frozen and on the rocks, salt or no salt, beer and wine.

We will provide the volleyball, horseshoes and music. Please bring your favorite game, music and beverage. Bring the family and friends and have fun.

Hope you will all be able to join us online.

If you would like, bring your favorite dish as well.

Hope to "see" you all then.

Big hug,

mk

BTW, the menu will be made using recipes from the Unemployed Friends Cookbook. I bumped up the topic again.

Be well.

The beer is cold, the margaritas are made along with the ice tea, lemonade and sodas. Welcome! I am glad you all could make it. I have wanted to do this, really, welcome you all to our home, but as it's impossible to get everyone here, we'll do it this way.

The buffet is set up and ready for you. Enjoy!!

Desp, you saltless is poured, laine your salted is ready. Shawn, Amy, what can I get for you? I am thinking getthem will have a cold one.

salty margarita for me, thank you

Here you go laine, I was waiting for you. How's your day? Glad you could make it.

Nice cold lemonade for me. A really big glass!

Here you go nfpexec, glad you could make it, how has your holiday been? The buffet is set up right over here, help yourself.

Fine MaryKay...it's 106 here in Phoenix what is it like where you are?

We've been organizing the house since the move, please excuse our appearance, we still have some rearranging to do.

We're due for another storm, actually until Thursday. Just what we need, very humid but temp has dropped to about 82, we're only supposed to be in the 70's next week, which is really unusual for us. 106 is hot, hot. How are you holding up?

I'm hibernating..supposed to cool down soon I hope so because I'm so sick of hot weather

Wow I like BBQ anything but I probably should be watching what i eat since i cant see a doctor

I slept in since i was up very late doing homework so its nice to try and stay distracted today before the "routine" begins all over again. I'm going to try and relax this "labor" day. How ironic!

I hear you laine, most of the summer was close to 100 here, otherwise high 90's, July was brutal. It has moderated in the last two weeks, but we've had storm after storm, then an earthquake and a hurricane, so we've cooled considerably. Looking at the pictures in Louisiana now, those poor people. I guess I shouldn't complain.

Well, the bbq chicken and pulled pork shouldn't be to bad and we've got lots of good jersey tomatoes and corn. Help yourself.

I would love some rain..might get some tonight

Scarey, so many parts of the country under water while others would just kill for an hour or two. Hopefully you will get some. Where are you laine? I am in southern NJ.

I brought the clam bake!! whos game? LOL

Oh I am definitely, thank you S&T. Salt or no salt for your margarita?
How is your husband? Home safely?

Im not a margarita kind of girl, I will have a pina colada please! LOL

hubby is good and home safetly!! Not home for more than half an hour and he is already taking a nap...hes exhausted! He was a bit disappointed because they were told they would get paid today and they did not! He has to go all the way to the main office of the shop in Quincy tomorrow at 1 to get it. Oh well, we waited this long for something like this, another day wont hurt.

Here is your pina colada, enjoy. Glad he is home safely, will he go back or is this finished for now? Rich is up in his chair asleep as well, some co-host huh? He'll join us later, can't miss his nap.

btw, clambake is delish, haven't had this in a while. Thank you.

Stop you're making my mouth water. I'm from NY but my mother is from South Carolina so I grew up eating all the wrong foods.

Well, nfpex, it's a holiday, so enjoy. It's just one day, and we all won't be able to do it again for a while. mangia!!!!

We need some music, any suggestions?

Since I am close to the shore, it's tradition to have Springsteen for the holidays, we'll start with that. Sound good?
