Labor Day

Hey all
I am going to be the mouth for our Labor Day get together. Keep your comments to yourself.  You know Teresa ain't bossy enough!  First of all, we need to know who will be coming.  It is going to be a 2 day event.  We will be making Applebutter (for the young and old alike) over the weekend, outside.  Teresa says they have apples so we will be peeling on Saturday (bring your sharpest knife) and cooking on Sunday.  As of right now, I will furnish the supplies (Sugar, cinnamon candy, vinegar, cloves, jars, and lids) and we will price the jars when we are finished, to cover the cost of the supplies only.   Paul, we will be needing your kettle!  We are in the beginning stages of planning...and yes, we are off to a late start, but we can still "git 'er done"!   We are hoping to have Nachos on Saturday, desserts (if you provide them) and a Weiner Roast and S'mores on Saturday evening.  We would like to have a Cornhole Tournament, with a Trophy to be awarded.  Monica and Mark...if you are coming, we would like to put you in charge of that.  If not, we'll designate another vict...I mean lucky person.  We are hoping to have Redneck Horseshoes (Addy), maybe a hayride, pumpkin carving...and anything else you nieces and nephews can come up with.  Like I said, we are in the early stages of planning but if you want to have a good time, then we need you to help.  It will be what we make it.  We will be having a Treadway style dinner (bring your favorite dish) on Sunday (time to be decided later) so we will need to know before hand what you are bringing so if we need to make something else, we will have time.  We're thinkin' that maybe our main dish will be Fried Chicken from the Dawson Store or Walmart...if anyone would like to purchase some or all of it, it would save you from cooking.  Now you can't all do that.  I knew what you were thinkin'!  Teresa is inviting some of her neighbors so that would give you a chance to visit with them, as well.
As the time gets closer, we hope to post an agenda with approximate times.  Ruth, will you compile a list of the food like you did before, from everyone's posting.  We only have one week from today!!!  If you read the blog and your family doesn't, will you please pass this information along to them.  Thanks and look forward to seeing the blog come alive!  For those of you who can't come, we will try our best to share as much as we can on the blog!
