What time do we show up for dinner?

What do you want me to bring?

Supposed to be mid-90's here, can I bring my swimsuit?

Will pitch a tent in your yard...

Hope you had a great vacation. We were all worried about you guys. You seem like you have your hands full the next few days. Enjoy your company.

Enjoy your gathering Cindy, and yes save time for yourself. Your company now sounds like my family when we get together at my moms house. My immediate family consists of 42 people, big Italian roudy and fun people.
