So the prep work for the picnic of the season continues here in the land of Pine Trees. I say the picnic of the season because of the mass attending it. We have people coming we haven't even invited - apparently word has gotten out and some people cant resist face painting and ponies.
Things are not going as smoothly as I would like. One of the major problems is me. I am not Martha Stewart. In fact I have as much in common with her as Darth Vadar has with Ghandi. I hate cleaning, organizing and I have never in my life made a napkin look like a swan. Unfortunately I doubt the guests want to play with the dust bunnies and although I do have lots of animals, I somehow doubt we'll be able to pass them off as Fluffy and the gang - so I guess I'd better get cleaning.
Another problem I see is Faye. Faye is one of those uninvited guests that we aren't really sure if she's going to be town for the day or not. She might just show up. Unlike some people coming she wont't bring dessert though, she'll bring rain and wind. Should Faye decide to appear - never fear - the party goes on. I will be running to the nearest dollar store to buy as many rain ponchos as I can. They will be distributed on a first come first serve basis so if you hear Faye might be here , come early to get one. I'm sorry no color choices are available.
Hopefully though , we have a nice bright sunny day so we can smell the Pony poop really well , we can get our faces painted , get a balloon monkey made and have a good time.
Look forward to seeing everyone - invited and not ( except Faye)

Don't worry Kelly, hopefully Faye won't be a thing by the time it gets up there. She will be here in the a.m hours and we'll get it the most tomorrow afternoon. At best, they say a tropical storm and it's right below us coming out of the Keys right now. Iit's not even raining or breezy yet and it's 11:30 pm. She'll dwindle down to nothing hopefully and you will have a nice day. Have a wonderful time. Sorry we couldn't be there. Tell everyone we said hello! :) Linda, Clark and the boys
The party was lots of fun! Hurricane Fay didn't hit, the ponies didn't run away and we all ate lots. I wish I had some more BBQ right now:)
