If you call Sarah about what you want to bring, we will have a more balanced selection. Every one please bring their own plates, cups, and utensils for this event since the kitchen is not organized as yet. Also bring your lawn chairs and we will eat outside in the shade of the walnut trees. We have not been together at the cabin for over a year and so this is a special occasion for that reason also.
