I think we're about ready for the big event! The menu and shopping are done, beds are ready all over the house :-) and dinner is ready for tonight and now it's just waiting for all the arrivals.
Ann and John are flying in from different directions, Ann from CA and John from NY where he's been the last two weeks working. They both get in around 4:30--he's on the same flight we had when we came back last week. They're renting and car and then driving out. Gretchen and Mason are also coming today and she hopes to get away around 3 so all should get here around 6:30 or so.
Everybody arrived safely and we had a good dinner and conversation. Colin stayed up and joined us. It was great to finally meet Jon...a really great guy. Great start to the week!
