Table seating is limited to 14 while additional seats will be available. We already have several who want to bring food so the turkey, sweet potato casserole and pumpkin pies are already taken. Please contact me with what you'd like to bring and BYO. PM me for directions at enjoythevillages. Larry
Bad news/Good news Larry,
I'm so sorry I can't join you for Thanksgiving. What a generous invitation.
I'm going home to Philly the day before Thanksgiving and can't wait to see my little grandchildren, family and friends. I won't return until April.
Enjoy the balmy FL weather over the winter because I'll be skidding around in the ice and snow. Ugh!
Happy Thanksgiving to all and have a wonderful Holiday Season!
Trudy

Hi Larry. I would enjoy spending Thanksgiving with a group of single people, rather than watching Planes, Trains and Automobiles. I don't know if I am sending this privately, but no matter. If there's room available, please let me know, okay? I can bring whatever you suggest. Thank you.

photoglady, you sent it publicly. I am still not sure of my plans, but I hope to meet you if not at Larry's then later....
Larry is a great guy and this one is sure to be a warm and wonderful event.

Larry, can you give us a recap of who's coming and what's being brought? Also, are you still open for more guests? I have several chairs I could bring so seating won't be a problem..
you're a winner for hosting,
Kitty

Hi Kitty,
Here's a list of who's coming thus far and what they are bringing. Several asked me what to bring and I told them I would get back to them. Yes, I'm open to more friends attending. I have a large home that could accommodate 25-30. I would need additional chairs if there are more than 20 attending. Today there are 13 coming. They are:

Ronneye -- 2 Turkeys and stuffing
Diane -- Sweet Potato Casserole
Sandra --- Vegetable Dish
Marla -- Green Bean Caserole
Janice -- Salad
Photoglady --
Ken -- 2 Pumpkin Pies
Gary -- 2 Bottles Wine
Larry --
Tom --
Joe -- Rolls
Bill --
Brayton--

Here's what I think we still need: Mashed Potatoes, Cranberry Dish, Baked Oyster Casserole, Ice Cream for the Pumpkin Pie.

If you are out there and by yourself on Thanksgiving drop me a note and we'll see that you share it with friends.

Larry

How many people are coming) If it is a small gathering, I can bring the mashed potato's, (ready made, store bought in addition to the dinner rolls).

Let me, know.

Thanks for the offer on the potatoes Joe, I'm not sure we'll have an accurate count for another week or so. I'll let you know what's going on a little later. Larry

Hi Larry,

I'm still not sure how or where to respond to a post. I'm guessing at this area because that's what appeared on my screen.

What I like to bring to functions is a camera. Do you have an over- abundance of photographers? I'm really good at napkins and paper plates, too.

But, here's the problem: I don't know where you live.
