It's that time of year again to start thinking about:
Midwest Mom 2014
Taking place August 21st - August 24th! All sorts of activities and menu to be announce. Guaranteed to be a great time. Recommended by all of have been to one.
Only two months to go till the grand event. Cainanite, Paolo, and I already have our motel rooms reserved. I reserved the only one in the place with a full kitchen. (It was formerly the owners' apartment.) Breakfast for all of the clan who decide to stay there - so long as you're up to diabetic-friendly foods.
I plan to ship at least a couple of cases of California wines ahead so that there will be plenty for the BBQ at the Convent (Kristoff's backyard) and for the gathering at the Mother Ship (Talula's house).
I believe I have properly made room reservations for this year's MoM.
I plan to get to an Interstate rest area Friday night, one close enough to the new MoM location that it will be easy to wake up and drive from the rest area to the MoM well before the start of breakfast on Saturday morning.
I made arrangements to park my truck and travel trailer for one night on the street near the MoM, for Saturday night.
I plan to be back at the same rest area for Sunday night.
On Monday night, I have a campground reservation in a Wisconsin State Park, and plan on having a vacation, with my wife, there, for much of the rest of the week after the MoM.
Work projects seem to have ruled out my arriving prior to early Saturday morning.
The menu is still not printed in stone but I was thinking along the same lines as last year. A lot of little things through out the day. Some BBQ ribs. Chicken from the stand down the way. Stuff like that there.
