Birthday Weekend

Here are the plans for the weekend, incorporating (I hope!) what each of you has volunteered (and/or been drafted) to do. You can either comment here, or email me, if you want to change any of this, or offer a suggestion or two.
Thursday, 2/24:
Bob, Nancy and Ann drive up from Florida. Supper (for 5) at Lullwater Estate 54. Happy Birthday, George!

Friday, 2/25:

Up to the mountains! The Blue Fish Lodge will house Robert and Georgia, and Bob and Nancy. The Berry Lodge will house Ann, Susan, and Susie and Dave. The two places are about six miles apart. The trip up takes about 2 hours.

Cocktails at Berry Lodge, at 6pm. BYOB.

Ann is coordinating supper (for 7): Smoked salmon appetizer, Tenderloin of Beef, Baked Potatoes with oodles of stuffing and a huge Salad with a scrumptious Birthday Cake. Ann will handle the salmon and beef; Susie and Dave will handle the potatoes and salad. Susan will bring the birthday cake.

Entertainment: Reverse charades: We each come with our favorite "Georgia" moment and act it out for her to guess....many of us could come up with "thousands" of ideas...what do you think? There should be some sort of penalty if she can't guess it!

Saturday, 2/26:

Breakfast: each cabin on its own.

Kids arrive on Saturday. Andrew and Hillary bunk at the Blue Fish Lodge; Laura, Jake and Taylor at the Berry Lodge.

Lunch (for 12): Bob's in charge, with black beans and rice, and smoked turkey sandwiches. In the boathouse, assuming weather's good.

Afternoon excursion/hike: TBA (and depends on weather). Maybe Rabun Bald (highest point in Rabun County), north of Clayton.

Supper (for 12): Gumbo (Ann's recipe), salad, dessert.
