Here's what's going on so far as far as meals at our get together go.  As usual, we're going to order some pizzas (and one big bone for Jake) for Friday evening.  We'll see who shows up and order accordingly.
   
Going to throw this out there for Saturday evening.  I'd be willing to make a batch of venison chili for the group (and a big bone for Jake). We could have some cheese, crackers, bread, butter, etc.  I might have some pickled beets and pickles from the garden as well.  The other option would be to get bbq as in past years. If we go the bbq route we need to order ahead of time.   Either way we need to know approximately how many folks are planning to be there for Saturday's dinner at the motel.

Either way, nobody will go hungry!  You might have to fight Jake for a bone but if you win you won't go hungry :'(.  If Jake wins....oh well.

Disclaimer.....I've been told that I cook just like my mom did except my mom didn't poop in it  ;)

One other note on this.  Mike, Scott and I all feel that keeping this as informal as possible is the way to go. We have gotten a lot of positive feedback from a lot of you regarding this. 

Looking forward!..........Mike
