Thanks to everybody who hosted and cooked and ate at Tim and Lisa's the other weekend.

It was a wonderful time for everybody there -- and we sure missed you folks who couldn't make it.

Highlights of my list --

* Pulled pork and Italian beef!
* Matt's strength confirmed by haul of beer
* Grandma spellbound by show of 16,342 of her best slides, now on DVD
* Return of Linda's green jell-o thing -- and its secret recipe revealed. So anybody who's coming to visit the nation's capital, look out!
* Jim schooling me on how to grill corn

Photographic evidence of some of this attached.
Please share your photos -- here or Facebook or wherever. You can email the whole group at once: post@marquardts.posterous.com & attach photos if you like.

Big, huge thank-yous to --

* Karen for getting us organized at last
* Tim and Lisa for hosting so graciously
* Lisa for the all-you-can-ride wrist bands for the kids and earlybird grown-ups
* Everybody who cooked
* Everybody who ate
* Kaitlyn's friend Tyler who managed to photograph everyone with eyes open -- at the same time 

Then there's next year --

August 6, 2012 is the date. Rhinelander is the place.

* What should we do?- County Fair/Sawmill Museum?
* Pot-luck afterward?- Who wants to host?
- Volleyball?

Send ideas, photos, and wishes to everybody or to me .

And please send those photos!

Till next year!
