bunrab | whew, I think we're ready for tomorrow!

Let's see: large bowl of homemade potato salad, smaller bowl of homemade chickpea salad, bowl of homemade guacamole, two kinds of salsa, 4 kinds of chips, veggie burgers, turkey burgers, salmon patties, hot dogs for the kids, mustard, ketchup, relish, sweet corn, two kinds of homemade cobbler, couple gallons iced tea, couple quarts lemonade, couple bottles soda, 16-pound bag of ice. One purchased screen tent, 8 weird little outdoor folding chairs, another dozen indoor-type folding chairs that can be used in the basement or under the screen tent, the plastic folding table-and-benches-in-one we've had for ages, and the umbrella that goes in the middle of it. Three folding tables. One gas grill, 2 mini-bottles propane, burger-flipping tool, grill-cleaning tool. Toilet paper in the bathrooms. Clean towels. Clean basement family room, swept-up covered patio, screen tent on the deck. Pool toys in pool. We may actually pull it off!

Things I'll do last-minute tomorrow morning: clean guinea-pig cages and rabbit litter boxes.

Things we haven't accomplished, that relatives are just going to have to ignore:
clearing all the papers off the dining table and the sofa tables; finding someplace else besides the living room floor to store several of the musical instruments; uncluttering the living room in general.

Weather forecast: sunny, high of 89 degrees F (30-31 C), and lots of relatives!
