Cousinsclub

The decorating theme has been changed from beachy to patriotic red white and blue... AND the female sibs are dressing alike!! AND getting their spouses hats to match.... So if you feel inclined to dress with that theme in mind, please do! 

Ray has suggested that we all get matching hats, Johnny, has suggested Ray keep his mouth shut (Yeah, I'm laughing :o) ).I'd just as soon have us all wear our own hats, with a patriotic theme. Maybe we can  have a most manly, silliest, prettiest, etc., hat contest? Might be fun. 

Also, as part of the decorations I got these cute little soda jerk paper hats....just for fun. :o)

I'm planning to bring meat like brisket or chicken or ham depending on what others do. I can decide late in the game. I think that Ruth is making a turkey - she was, are you still? Did we decide that sisters here would do the main meats? Whatever is needed at the end of the menu planning, I can bring or contribute to. Aunt Anna

Please list what you plan on bringing in the comments. I really don't know how to do this other than this way. Then I'll post your comment in the main entry,

**Rockport aunts are bringing the meats. Anna is doing brisket and maybe chicken, or ham, Ruth is doing a turkey, I don't yet know what Kathy is doing, and don't know if NeNe was told(!).  Anyone who wants to can bring a meat dish too, of course. And for heavens sake don't take anything I say as gospel!!  We're going with the flow here!**

**Updated again to say** I think we're pretty well covered at this point. There will be some odds and ends that are needed at the last minute, but that will get done. So all in all I think we're good to go. Looking forward to seeing everyone!

Eileen said she would bring plates, napkins, cutlery and cups. (She's got us covered for the whole day.) Also said she'd bring a big ole platter of cookies.

Teresa - I'll do a large side and a dessert. I'm shooting at green beans and blueberry cobbler, but that is subject to change. ;o)

Janine - I will do a large marinated vegetable salad and a dessert or two.

Patty - I may do a giant trifle thingy. Maybe some coleslaw.
I'll do some food stuffs. I've got a big cake pan. Hum???

Ruth - Hmmm... no one has signed up for the vermicelli. I am volunteering potato salad and dessert of some sort. Also have large crock pot for use by anyone, and a large oven I can bring to keep meats hot. All this can be worked out by those of us who live in town.
Kim -  Hi all! I'll bring a homemade mac and cheese and a dessert or two. See ya there,

Kathy - I will bring at least two pounds of cooked pinto beans plus some kind of dessert and whatever else is needed.

Aaron - Fruit tray, coz that's how I roll. (for breakfast) 

Edith - I can put my name in the hat for breakfast stuff. Naturally it will be oatmeal and fruit.
No, it will be stuff other people eat.

Paula -  I"ll do a big ol' corn casserole and uhhh...how about...cookies!! Can't go wrong with cookies! :)

Judy T. R. - I will bring watermelon(s)

Eric 'n Kelly sent the following - We can bring drinks of the malty variety and perhaps from the vine, too. I think we'll pitch in with whatever needs getting when we get there! So, we're open to suggestions.

Geoff & Aimee - will bring a big fat Greek salad, a box of red wine and maybe a dessert.

John & Stephanie - will bring deviled eggs.

Hi all!

Here's the agenda for the reunion. There may be some minor changes, but if there are, we'll let you know.

Holler back if you see a problem. (One that has already been dealt with is that we have the pavilion for 12 hours only, additional cost of $30 an hour. Ray and I think that the cousins can come up with the extra sixty to have it from 8:30am to 10:30pm.)

**UPDATE**  I've made an executive, oldest cousin decision - the talent show will be held inside the pavilion.

Still trying to figure out how to get everyone signed up/registered here. I'll be emailing too.

Love to all.
Teresa

Bej has tried to sign and has been unsuccessful so I tried for her and seems all is lost. If this does not go through then I assume we have missed a step in the sign in. Janine

Members Present:  Teresa, Cindy, Dickie, Geoffrey, Susan, Ramon

Looks like vermicelli.

Anna and I talked this morning and we decided we would have POT LUCK. Entrees will be provided, probably brisket, baked turkey, and ham. We will do more on that decision later. Cobbler, pies, cakes and other goodies will be either purchased or made by the participants to be determined. Maybe some home made ice cream, too. I have volunteered potato salad. Probably will find something besides that I want to bring. We will have beans, should they be baked beans or pintos? AND vermicelli. Who thinks they can do it exactly like GRANDMOTHER's? Maybe we should have a contest on that one. If you have something special you want to bring, let us know. I think this can be a really great gathering. And great Torres eating binge, oops meant to say opportunity! ;D
