New England BBers: Ready for another Klatch?

[memartha]

Hi New England BBers... I'd like to propose another "Koffee Klatch" before the summer ends. Anyone interested in getting together at my house on Sat., Aug. 2 for a drop-in lunch? Let me know and maybe we can pull something together. Martha

[Kristilyn1]

I'd love to, schedule permitting.......I've never attended one.

Kristi

[Lauren]

Hey Martha!

I would love to see you and the other local BB'ers. The date sounds OK, let me double check the calender though. Thanks for picking a Saturday. :)

[Mamasue]

Martha......It sounds good to me but I will check with DH just in case. Tell me what I can bring. Yipee! :D

[HejazSunKat]

Martha I'd love to come and see everybody again but unfortunately I'll be out of town on the 2nd. Hope you all have a great time (that's fairly certain!) and see you at the next one! :D

[beejayw1]

I'd love to come; not sure about the 2nd, however...

Put me as a definite maybe, and I'll get back to you on the date in about 2 weeks!

Meanwhile, want me to bring some tea sandwiches? If I can come?

[ccooney]

Martha,
Sounds great...count me in!:cool:
My folks are staying at my place that night following a wedding they're attending on the seacoast, but I should be able to come for lunch.
Let me know what I can bring.
Connie

[syzygy]

It's on my calendar! :)

Looking forward to seeing you and all the others again, (and those who couldn't make it to Mamasue's) and spending a little more time this time getting to know you all...

Please let me know what I can bring.

[KathrynY]

Martha, thank you so much for the invitation. I will be away on vacation on August 2nd, but look forward to seeing you and everyone else at the next gathering. Have a great time! :)

[memartha]

OK, let's plan on Aug. 2 for lunch (12-3 pm - I can't kick DH and kids out for the entire day. They'd revoke my computer priviledges or something). I'm sorry for those who cannot make it, but I understand summer schedules can be busy with vacations.

Hoping a few more people will see this now that I've bumped it up. Martha

[valchemist]

if I can get DH to stay with Julia, then I am in. thanks for the invitation!

[pilgrim719]

Thanks for offering to host another klatch, Martha! I'd like to come, but I'm not sure yet if I can. My mother may be visiting at that time and I don't want to ditch her for an afternoon when she doesn't know this area that well. I hope I can go, they're always so much fun! :)

Kari

[knunes]

Martha,
I would like to come and think I can. This time I'll try to arrange for DD to have a playdate for the afternoon.
Katie

[memartha]

I'm glad to see so many people can make it. Hopefully we will pick up a few more as the weeks go on! I will PM you with directions closer to the date. Looking forward to seeing you all again! Martha

[CindyWeightWatcher]

Can I let you know at the last minute? I would
love to do a klatch too!

[memartha]

Last minute is just fine! Hope you can make it. Martha

[Mamasue]

bumping up! :D

[memartha]

bumping again. I'll be sending out directions this weekend to all who indicated they'd like to come. The more the merrier!

Details, in case you missed them:

Koffee Klatch/Luncheon
Martha's House
Sat. Aug. 2
12 - 3

Hope you can come!

[valchemist]

argh. not going to be able to make it this time. dh just found out today that he has to go to tiajuana on business and he was going to be my babysitter. oh well. hope you all have a great time.

[beejayw1]

I will be able to come! I'll bring tea sandwiches (hope they'll be enough!) and am psyched about meeting everyone!

[CindyWeightWatcher]

Memartha, I was unsure before, now I know I can
make it. Val, bring beautiful Julia, she was an
angel although I know you said she needed a nap!
Our supper club is meeting on Friday, at my
place (the only one who can't make it is knunes so I'll ask
her later)so I'll see if anyone can make it
on August 2nd.

[knunes]

Martha,
I can definitely make it on Aug. 2nd and DD has been asked to be a "mother's helper" for the time that I'm gone at the home of a friend with a 2 year old. I will make a lightened version of the Pampered Chef "Clubhouse Chicken Squares". See you then!

[CindyWeightWatcher]

OK, great Katie, do you want me to drive?

[memartha]

Diana, Cindy and Katie, I'm so glad you can make it! And Val, you know you're welcome to bring Julia but I understand if you don't want to make the trip. I have a digital camera now so if someone can just clue me in on how to post pictures (maybe at the Klatch), you can feel like you're here!

Your contributions are gratefully accepted and sound delicious! I'm working with the great menu planner, Kari (Pilgrim719) to try to figure out what I'm making!

[Gracie]

Martha, I've delayed responding since I wanted to be able to be definite and was trying to switch around some plans. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it this time.

I got your PM and I'm happy to tell you that I chose the same Hay Day cookbook that you have (by accident!!). It was only $3 (shipping was $4 :rolleyes: ) so I'm excited to go through it. I didn't realize there were different ones, but I'm glad I chose the "right" one!

I know everyone will have a wonderful time and wonderful food!

Loren

[Lauren]

Martha,

I can make it too! What would you like me to make? Not sure what you need. Looking forward to seeing you again! :D

[ccooney]

Martha,
Yippeeee! I can make it. I will bring snickerdoodles. Is there anything else you'd like me to bring? Also, I will only have access to the internet until Monday morning. Can you please PM me directions from Concord, NH before then?
Can't wait to see you all in MA!!
Connie

[CindyWeightWatcher]

Hi Martha,
I think myself, Lauren, Cindy and Katie are coming
together. What should I bring? I'm looking forward
to it!

[memartha]

Cindy and Connie,

I will PM directions to you (and everyone else). Can't wait to see you all!

[pwrmom]

Hey Martha,
Just caught your coffee klatch offer and wanted to let you know that although I'd love to drive down, my youngest and I are spending a bonding day together as oldest daughter is away @ camp and Dad and son are going to a baseball game so I promised her some quality Mom time! Hopefully when the cherubs are all back in school I'll be able to attend one of these klatches! Have fun......looking forward to the pictures!

[memartha]

Linda, I'm sorry you won't be able to make it. I hope you have a great day with your daughter. Are you having a good summer? We are having a lot of fun. Hope to see you soon. Martha

[memartha]

Katie,

The list is not complete!

Please add: Memartha, MamaSue, Beckms, Slknight and Kari's Mom!

Can't wait to see you tomorrow.

[pilgrim719]

Thanks for remembering my mom, Martha! She arrived yesterday and is looking forward to meeting everyone tomorrow. How nice of Mother Nature to not disappoint me and show my mother what NE weather is really like! :rolleyes:

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone again, and meeting those that I have yet to meet! :)

Kari

[HRJ]

Hi Martha and everyone!

I'm going to add myself and Victor to the list -- assuming he's up to handling a car ride and some social activity tomorrow, but he's doing really well with meeting new people, and usually falls asleep in the car, anyway.

Can't wait to see everyone!

Val, will you be there with Julia?

Helene

[CindyWeightWatcher]

OMG, I get to meet Victor! I can hardly wait!!!

[beejayw1]

I'm going to assemble the tea sandwich spreads tonight, and then make the sandwiches just before heading out. If I have time, I might try to make a Black Plum Tart that I saw in an old Christmas issue of Victoria magazine. We'll see.

See you all then! :D

[valchemist]

I mentioned earlier in the thread that I wouldn't be able to make it. :( sorry.

I know you will all have a great time!
