What to Pack:
Your yellow "Joanfest" t-shirt if you can find it. A different yellow shirt is fine for Sat night or Sunday morning to welcome Joan
Jonesenfelder kid entourage and Sam: Sleeping bags and air mattresses. See next line.
Boston Joneses: your tent, if Jonesenfelders request it. Your air mattresses if Jonesenfelders request them.
BOY 7 Siblings- Have space in your luggage to take HOME certain things gathered from mom, including large photo sets of soccer team photos, ceramics you made as a kid, nire pinewood derby cars... I'm bringing a load of mom stuff.
Room allocations--
Steve/Deneen are confirmed for Lee's; Ken's family is confirmed for Comforts. THANKS!
Upstairs MBR: (Liz, Farg and Maddy and Jen if she wants to join us... as a lovely foursome. Jen see below.)
Blue room upstairs: Joan for Sat - Wed early am. to provide easy escape to lie down. Farg or Liz might get it after that.
Blue Hole downstairs: DaNadia's family. Farg's air mattress to be used for Dan on the floor. Other rooms really don't have much floor space!
Black Hole: It has only a single bed. Jen gets this room if she prefers it or if she wants to offer it to any of her entourage, and she provides it to her children as a "changing room" since they are bedding down in more public places. I might have Maddy and Sam and myself and anyone else who wants to bid for it draw straws for after that. Hmmmm. Email me if you want to be in the lottery for it.
Downstairs Family room: 4-5 Boston Joneses. (Plus, for Sunday, Mon. Tuesday, Sam parks his luggage here and uses this space as a changing room. He can use Farg's room after that.)
Tent and/or Porch or living room floor: Alex/Elizabeth, Hannah/Patrick, Sam, Matt and any younger cousins who want to sleep in there. They will draw straws or take turns for sleeping on the porch swing. Important update: if Jonesenfelder kids WANT the tent, they should contact Pete because he's willing to bring it, but it's not exactly worth it if it's not going to be used. What say you?
Living Room Futon: likely to be used by Liz, Farg and Maddy and possibly Jen as the spill-over space from the MBR after lights go out. Farg likely to be kicked TO this space because she snores. But after Wednesday, it is entirely possible that the futon is available to Sam and Alex's generation if they can work out a schedule.
Is anyone missing the Barracks? Is Hannah's generation motivated to re-paint it? Just kidding. Only sorta.
Arrivals and Departures and Menu Planning
If I don't have them yet, please supply at the linked form where it will ask you...
1) arrival/departure times for meal planning
2) meal you want to cook. We're still WIDE OPEN FOR BBQs and could do a couple of them.
3) flight numbers and times and whether or not you need airport pickup so that we have one place to see all the info at once.
4) space to add info, such as a requested change in anything above or below.
Bachelorette Frontrunners as of 7/23: Bad Boy Jordan is clear leader; Luke and Robby have votes, too. But make your vote count on the form above! Jonesenfelder votes could definitely tip the scales!
By the numbers for office use:
Calendar-- arrivals, departures. Airport pickups in Green. Dinner prep and dish duty in RED.
