6 more days!

Thanks to Lori for tracking who's coming (and going) while I was RAGBRAI-distracted. Looks like a great group!

We'll finish with the last minute preparations here. We are planning on Pete's Friday night. We can decide if we want to eat at the house or go there. Don't forget to bring a munchie to share Fri night & your beverage of choice. And for the #1 question- yes, it can contain alcohol as long as we are discreet :). (But it's still a dry house.)

We have a breakfast "strata" ordered from Simpson catering for 8:30 Sat am. Teresa Johnson Lagomarcino is doing some shopping Friday for things to round out breakfast Sat am. We'll pick up pastries for Sunday am.

We've set up a housecleaner for the next week although hope it's minimal clean up. We want to be sure to leave things as we found them so we can do this again!

If you have not sent a check, you can give it to me when you arrive. Any balance will go to the house for utilities and the new sprinkler system. If you are not staying over but would like to contribute or want to make a direct contribution, we'll have a basket in the living room. I know they'll appreciate our help. The sprinklers were necessary but really expensive.

Last minute reminders- remember to bring a sleeping bag or linens, toiletries, towel, camera & bag chair. If you are ballooning, old clothes. Am I forgetting anything? Oh yeah. Bar money.

The house will open at 5 pm Friday & close at noon on Sunday.

Can't wait!
