Right. I ordered the veggie trays, fruit trays, cheese trays, and sandwich trays this afternoon. We’ll have that in the afternoon-lunch thing. I’m thinking we’ll be having 15-20 people in the evening. Should we grill or what? ---

I’d think grilling would be fun! (And if enough beer has flowed by then, it should be exciting, too. . .) ---

We have an appointment to see a property in Spencer, WV, at 11AM. According to Mapquest, Spencer is about an hour from Marietta. So, I’d put us there 1:30 or thereabouts. ---

That’s OK. I got the president of the Chamber of Commerce coming. No one’s going to bust her. ---

Sure, if they get along with people and other dogs. We’ve got two greyhounds. ---

> [@Jonathan Chance](#): > > Sure, if they get along with people and other dogs. We’ve got two greyhounds. They’re both incredibly friendly. Bailey (the female, on the right) is a bit coy, while Guinness (the male, on the left) is far more social. They both go out of their way to get attention from kids. ---

Their are probably going to be more than a few kids of pre-literate age. Make sure the dogs don’t scare them and everyone’s happy. ---

I’m still in the “undecided” camp. (I know, you were all holding your breath. 😉 ) If I can get someone to cover my shift, I’ll probably be up in the late afternoon if that’s okay. If I can sleep in Mr. Chance’s yard or living room floor or in my car in his driveway if I DO make it, that’d be really great. ---

I definitely won’t make it. We are finally getting the materials we need for the 2 months of backlogged orders, so overtime has started up. And since I am going on vacation the next weekend for 2 weeks, I really need the overtime. 🙂 Have fun. Lok ---

Can someone send me a suggested driving route from Northern VA? (Someone who has driven it before and isn’t just relying on MapQuest?) ---

Did someone call my name? _poof_ I appear. The easiest way to to get to Route 81 north. From where you are I think that’s due north of you at Winchester but I could be wrong. From there get off Route 81N at Route 70W. Take Route 70W to Route 68W. Take that to Morgantown, WV. and get on Route 71S. Take Route 71S to Route 50W. Take Route 50W to Route 77N towards Marietta, OH. Get off Route 77 right after you cross the Ohio River on Route 7W. Take Route 7 (known as ‘Pike Street’ around here) to 3rd Street. Turn right onto 3rd street. Turn left onto Wooster St. We’re at the address on the evite. ---

**Nate** , unfortunately, I’ve somehow misplaced the evite. Could you either re-send it, or email me your address? Thanks. ---
