VCDL Richmond Picnic, Sunday 6/3/12 11AM - Pocahontas State Park

After checking repeatedly, I find that nobody has remembered that cookies are an integral part of any successful picnic. Whereas I am married to a beautiful woman that also just happens to be the World's Greatest Cookie Baker, I will be bringing them

Gr8legs (my definite better half) has offered her world famous Snicker-doodles again, and for that cranky old Santa look a like that doesn't appreciate those, Peanut butter!

I will also kick in 2 bags of ice and a cooler if needed.

Please add me as a definite and Gr8legs as a possible.

Would it be easier for someone else who is getting there sooner to pick up the plastic forks and knives? The we can pick up something else that can get there later?

I just checked my pantry and have a large box of plastic utensils. I'll throw those in - should be more than enough.

Don't know what to suggest for late arrivals, except to say bring your appetite with you. :lol:

You might call ahead as you near Chesterfield CH and see if we could use more ice - you have my number.

I'm sorry if I mislead anyone, were not bringing cookies. It was more of a joke about how to get my kids away from the Popsicles. Do I still need to bring plastic ware? I have the forks and spoons I had already bought. Or did you think you had enough Grapeshot? Either way is fine with me.

Adjusted menu.

Plastic utensils covered - see post #68

My name is absent from the list to bring anything and will remain. I have talked with the Grapeshot and have decided not to be reimbursed for the shelter cost. All that I ask is that my membership be made current since I did not pay my dues this year, but in my defense I still give to VCDL EVERY year in the jar at the gun-shows. Since VCDL needs funds and they are so graciously buying so many things for this event; if they can make the sacrifice I guess I can too.

I thought I'd wait and see what no one was bringing and get that, but it looks like everything's been spoken for. I'll pick up something as a special treat and bring it.:banghead:

You hesitate, you lose. :lol:

We're not bringing the bikes after all, so I can carry stuff....

Would anyone want a watermelon?
