If someone is following this thread, and the other NE get together threads they are going to be convinced we have a very loose grasp on seasons and time. We were having Spring events in late Winter and Summer events in Spring, and now a mid-Summer event in the last few weeks of Summer. But the good news is a date set is a date we can make. See you there unless a family event or some work event has to interfere. Jim
