4lbs of Tannerite vs. 55 Gallon Barrel

The boys blew this barrel up in the woods earlier today. It shook the house!

Shawn's white elephant apron and lotion! Andy took it soon after, haha.

Corn hole champs!

The potatoes are back on, per Steve.   The Kettle is at Steve's and the wood is piled up.  Even if you don't do mornings, it will be an experience to sit around the applebutter kettle and drink your coffee with the smell of breakfast coming out of the kitchen.  If any of you have the means to video, would you please come prepared to make some short clips?  Vonda, David, Timmy and Daniel would really like to see some of the activities/people throughout the weekend.  Trish, can you video on your ipad?  I know...but you see...I'm not tech saavy.

~Rita~

Unfortunately Tim and Cindy will be unable to join us Labor Day.  Cindy's sister suffered a heart attack at the end of June and a stroke last Tuesday.  Shen then had surgery on her carotoid artery on Friday.  She is still in CCU at the hospital and after she is stable, they are moving her back to the nursing home.  Please include her in your prayers.

On Sunday, we will be eating our main meal between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m.

I am bringing the August 20 post forward:

Below are several lists relative to Labor Day.  I will keep these lists updated as people give me their information.  It is imperative that we know who is coming and for how long since it will be going on for two days, because we will need to have enough food to eat.

Steve will be cooking breakfast on Saturday and on Sunday for anyone who wants to come.  We will need sausage and eggs for those meals.  (We decided to scrap the potatoes, to make it easier on all the cooks).  We will also need to know who plans to come to those meals.

We will be eating our main meal on Sunday between 1:30 and 2:00 p.m.

We do NOT need disposable plates, cups and plastic utensils.  Trish is providing those.

We will be making applebutter on Saturday beginning around 5:30 a.m.  We will NOT be peeling apples since there was no apple crop this year.  Instead I will be bringing Mommy's canned applesauce (which she canned in half gallon jars) which I took when we cleaned out the cellar.  There will be NO charge for the applebutter.  Therefore, we will have to divide up what we make to make sure everyone who wants it gets some.  A family member has covered that cost.

Also, you do NOT have to bring drinks.  The same family member is covering that cost also.

All the chicken is taken care of.

DON'T FORGET YOUR WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT FOR SUNDAY!

Bobbie:

We will NOT be peeling apples.  The apple crop didn't cooperate.  I will be bringing Mommy's canned apples that she canned in half gallon jars which I took home with me when we cleaned out the cellar in anticipation of making applebutter.  So, all we have to do is put it on and keep it stirred all day.  Yeah!

Everyone:

Please read the blog and refer to my August 20 posting as some things (such as peeling apples) have changed and I am trying to keep track of everything on that posting!

So where do we start! Do we start peeling and peel until we have the kettle full.  We can't be gathering apples at 5:30 in the morning so will Steve have us some to get started on?

I love the look...that should get everyone in the mood for food and fun.  Just wanted to remind you that the Applebutter Making will start early (around 5:30 am) on Saturday if you want to all get in on that =)  If not, there will be a few of us "early morning people" to get it (and the coffee) on...You can stir when you get there!! 

Trish:  Love the blog's new look!  I have updated the list for the weekend on August 20.  If you have not committed yet on food, please check it to see what we still lack.

We will be making applebutter on Saturday, and there will be NO cost for the applebutter.  Therefore, we will have to divide it so everyone who wants some will get some.  And you do NOT have to bring drinks.  A family member has made a donation to cover both those things.

Don't forget the white elephant gift exchange.  We will be having that on Sunday.

Janet, I am fixing 2 dozen deviled eggs for Sunday.  If you think we need more you can make some more :)

The four of us in and out as we will be trying to attend three reunions this weekend.  I will make the hotdog chilli for Saturday evening.  I will bring pr send spinach dip and deviled eggs for Lunch Saturday and on Sunday I will bring Parmesan Potatoes, maybe brocc cheese casserole and deviled eggs unless Monica is making eggs, then I will bring something else. 

Hey I just wanted to let you know I got another large can of cheese, 4 bags of chips, 3 dozen eggs for breakfast on Sunday I,m also going to make cupcakes, brownies, and green beans for Sunday.  I was going to get a couple of boxes of sausage but Walmart was out.

I just wanted to remind everyone about the air show Sept. 7-9  :)  Hope to see ya!!

Me, tanner, And Jacob will be there for all the meals I guess. I will do Mac and cheese and hopefully corn on the cob and some tomatoes if they are ripe. I will probably fix potatoes some way  and dessert.

I made a yard sale purchase this morning that really thrilled me.  I do not know what I will do with it, but I bought an awl for 50 cents.  Do any of you remember Mommy (probably more often Daddy) sewing with theirs?  Does someone have it?  I remember they used to keep it (if my memory is correct) in the flat grey box on the dresser.  When you get old, it doesn't take much to thrill a body, huh!

Zac and I will be in by Friday evening but I'm not sure about what we will be bringing yet for Saturday or Sunday. I will think about it and let you know.

Hi Everyone, We won't be able to make it. I hope everyone has a wonderful time. Please keep us in your prayers.
Love and Prayers

Please refer to my post on August 20, which is where I am keeping the list of who is coming, what days they will be there, and what foods they will be providing Labor Day.  Those of you who have not weighed in on attendance and food, please do so ASAP so we will know whether we will have enough food.

For Sunday, I will make Pumpkin Bread, Tailgate sandwiches (ham and cheese on Hawaiian rolls) and roasted veggies on skewers.

I will bring 2 packs of hot dogs and buns for Saturday evening, 1 box graham crackers, and reese cups and marshamallows to make enough smores out of the box of graham crackers (not sure how many it will make).  Still deciding about what else for Sunday :) 

I will bring two pkg sausage  and 2 doz. eggs for Saturday Breakfast.  I will bring two pkgs hotdogs with buns for Saturday wiener roast with a watermelon.  I will do two desserts for Sunday Dinner

How much do you think the applebutter might cost per jar?  I was thinking of getting some for my Sunday School class for Christmas :)  Since I don't buy it I don't know what it would cost.  Can you give an estimated price?

I'll take 10 pints of applebutter :)

Yes, I'll be there! Yes, I want applebutter!  You have the 80 pints already?  Should we bring all our little paring knives?  Food wise, tell me what you need and what time are we beginning on Saturday?

Happy Belated Birthday Chandler!  Looks like you really know how to have a party!!

Monica, Thanks for your enthusiasm!  Will this be a "Trophy" we can pass around from year to year?  We will be compiling a list of things we need from each of you, once we know who all is coming.  Please...We need you to find out from your families and let us know.  About the Applebutter...we will need to know from you all, who will be wanting to purchase it because, a kettle will make around 80 pints.  If we don't have enough interest in buying it, then we can't make it.  What would we do with all of it?  (It makes great Christmas gifts)  I personally don't need applebutter,  I still have it from the last Applebutterfest.   No, we will not be making it on the stove...If it rains, we will need a canopy of some sort.

We need to know if you are coming so we can plan for food.  

~Rita~

Happy Birthday Chandler!!  :)

I was wondering if someone needs to pitch in and help get stuff for the nachos, wiener roast and s'mores on Saturday or has that already been taken care of?

I will do deviled eggs for Sunday (how many, would 2 dozen be enough or more) and I'll come up with something else and let you know in the next day or two.  I'll also bring some kiddie drinks for the weekend :)

We can take care of the Cornhole trophy and I'll get Mark to come up with a tournament roster as well.  It would be nice if we could get some of Teresa's neighbors to play as well :)  We can bring our boards and if Steve will let us use his boards we can have 2 games going at the same time!!

Mom and I were discussing weather.  If it rains, how will we do apple butter?  Will we be able to make it on the stove?  Let's all pray for beautiful weather and we won't have to bother with alternate plans :P
