Most Honorable Scarab - I confess it is sort of loose and you have made some
excellent points. Right now, as far as I know, the plan is just to meet at
the pavilion at Riverbend Park and exchange and the Happy Homeschoolers are
bringing a HH basket. I am bringing tortilla wrap sandwiches, I assume others are
still bringing food.

weather.com says it'll start raining about noon and not get heavy till the
afternoon. If we need it, Tyson's food court would be a great back up.

Sounds excellent. Loose is good. Mostly I was offering plans in the
spirit of bringing an umbrella superstititiously assuring it won't
rain too soon.
