Just save a seat at the table for me and the wife, please. It would be worth the drive. What kind of wine or beer do you drink?

I'll bring desert...
Sounds like a wonderful meal, Pappy!

Toffee (making Wed night), Turkey salad sandwiches (with whatever leftovers there are) and whatever my wife puts in front of me.  This is her picnic, not mine.
