Hello gang! Have a walk this morning at 9 and then we are starting to put it together, the physical Veranda that is. I’ve been mowing and weed whacking and now we get to the fun stuff. My Rebecca and I are off to get tables. Have people coming to set up the outdoor kitchen.

Also setting up a welcome table. Need to have folks sign in and be shown where to park and etcetera. We made party favors and you are going to like those. That’s all part of welcome.

People are starting to show up to help. But folks from out of town are starting to come tomorrow. Well, we will just put them to work, that’s what I say.

On the topic of weather, the temps are high 60’s and low 70’s in the day and high 50’s at night. Mostly partial cloudy through the week and the up coming Veranda weekend. Might be a little rain Wednesday, the day after tomorrow. Well, I’ll take that, not too hot. Maybe you California folks might want to throw in an extra parka.

So, on the topic of meals the basic concept is that it will be a potluck situation overall. So, bring something to contribute. I plan on having some things here to fill in the gaps. And we will have corn and berries compliments of Mother Nature. And we will have condiments and coffee. That is a little sketchy way to operate but pilgrims can handle that. There will be the outdoor kitchen to prep things for the table.

OK, I am alternating between anxiety and tremendous confidence about this whole arrangement. But I have high hopes in you to help pull this together. Pilgrims are flexible, resourceful and charming. That’s what I am counting on.

OK, off to the morning walk.

flexible, resourceful and charming loves, Felipé.
