I certainly plan to be there. I'd hate to miss a MoM. They're such great fun. I'm in need of all the hugs from good friends.

Count on the Friday afternoon wine-and-cheese social at the same time and place as always. (For those who haven't been to the Midwest MoM before, you'll get the information in plenty of time.) I expect we'll all eat at the Hog Trough on Friday night, as usual.

More proof that the real purpose of this is all food related...

The MoMs are all great social gatherings. A little food and wine always helps to lubricate the event.

The wine-and-cheese (and nonalcoholic for those who prefer) is a place where people can trickle in over the afternoon. Some arrive early, some later. We then adjourn to dinner.

We've always had the back room at the Hog Trough where we can continue the social aspects over LOTS of food. Last year they allowed some family groups in the room with us. The children wanted to join us for the fun. The adults kept inching further away as Paolo Vader and the Red Nun shot foam darts about and waved light sabers. (One of my favorite MoM photographs is of Fearless Leader IE with foam darts stuck on his bald head.) We've always had children peering in the door to see who's having so much fun.

Saturday and Sunday are at Talula's and Riverwind's places (and the yard in between where the neighbor escapes our festivities early and allows us to use his space).

I will certainly be there. After missing last year's festivities, I can't wait to see all of you again.

I'll be arriving on Thursday afternoon and staying until Sunday morning.

Good! Looking forward to martinis. And don't forget, dinner at the convent on Thursday evening!
