Big doings! Friends and family will be here. Every body brings a covered dish - more macaroni salad than you can shake a stick at! Last week I picked rapsberries and froze them - a tradition that I make raspberry custard pies for the dessert table. We have a pool that the kids will live, the horseshoe pit for the guys, lots of shade, a firepit to burn marshmallows and 2 hammocks! There will be water games - my daughter has 800 waterballoons. Some will camp out and we'll have pancakes and sausages for breakfast the next morning. A couple years ago my husband put an addition on the polebarn and whatever goes in there, he said it has to be moved easily. Three years ago, we had our daughter's wedding here on the farm and the caterer set up in there. Afterwards, they cranked up the tunes and there was dancing. The barn had worked out so well we started having picnics on the 4th that everyone shows up for. Maybe 50 this year?
