Hi, Cousins, How about March 15 as a new party date? That should not be so far away we'll forget about it, but not so close that people won't be back online, I hope. What do you think? This is the list I have compiled from cousins who responded to early party plans. I hope I haven't left anyone out...please let me know if I have. Doreen Baxter in Scotland...we were going to end our traveling party with her and she was making some Scottish desserts. Shirley A. sent a recipe for Apple Chicken Salad. Jan A. from El Paso was going to treat us to authentic Mexican food and sent a recipe for stacked enchilada casserole. Mary (Litmar@aol.com), GA, from whom we've not heard for awhile, was going to keep track of recipes and Connie Pilato from Jamestown, NY offered to do the same. Pattie Kramer from Northern CA was going to attend and so was Patti Armstrong. Pat Tatom from No. CA was coming and bringing her potato salad. Jill Johnston had a wide range of activities planned at her home in Washington state and was making divinity cookies. Fount A. from Florida was going to be in charge of barbecue and moonshine. Edie from Tasmania, where the party was going to start, was contributing healthful recipes. Kathleen Grone, Nebraska was going to participate and make her French Toast Bake. Also accepting the opportunity to party were: Anna Claxton Linda Heaberlin Mema Jacquie Sheldon Vicki Showers? and, I hope, John D. will come and bring some of his homemade wine. And I'll be there, of course...let me provide the real maple syrup treats and maybe some lobster if I can afford it. Any other party folks? I can't believe that only Fount and John D. are the only male cousins who are crazy. Let me know what you think of the date.
