First picnic we got to was the 2007 one at the Shipps. We'd been in
either AZ or HI, time and money prohibiting us from attending any
before that. In September, 2006 we moved to Savannah so were able to
get to a few subsequent picnics, usually combining them with trips to visit our parents.

My first picnic was at Pat Stockett's in Hayneville, AL. Tossed my rig
for chilli cooking in the back of my little Mazda pickup and set out. Showed up at Pat's back door unanounced and was made welcome. Met
Michael Loo, Dr. Don Houston,and his Ukranian bride, Neysa Dormish and
her hubby The Shipps didn't attend as they were fueding with Neysa.
That was '98

We were still in AZ; that was the year Deborah graduated from high
school.

The next year the picnic was in Quebec and I took my sister,

Georgia. DD> We had a grand old time and on the way home she turned to
me and said DD> "We DD> could put one of these on. Couldn't YOU, big
brother?"

Thus was born the Y2K picnic. Wheeeeeeee

And we hosted the 2019 picnic, to date, the last one.

I was sorry to have missed that one. I don't remember if 'twas health
issues or work that got in the way. Probably health.

All of my regular "get together" groups have dwindled. My Thursday
Chilli Lunch group is down to just me. Same for the Sunday Breakfast
Bunch. And the oldest group - former users of Springfield's first
multi-line (dial up) BBS, Minnie - is down to just four regulars at
our monthly get-togethers. We used to have at least two "Minnie Fest"
deals a year with 30 or more attendees. Dad.

You couldn't serve this to Steve. But, I'd bet you have a non-desset pudding recipe you could substitute for the corn pudd.

Title: Peppered Beef Tip Roast & Corn Pudding [Oregon]
Categories: Beef, Vegetables, Chilies, Puddings
Yield: 10 Servings

Probably a good Yorkshire pudding would work; I've got recipies but not tried making it--yet.

Or something like this .....

Title: Caramelized Onion & Bacon Stuffing
Categories: Breads, Pork, Poultry, Herbs, Vegetables
Yield: 10 servings

HMMMMMMMMMMMMMM,

I agree.

Hi Dave,

I don't recall either but it was just us, Michael, the Shipps, Nancy
Bachus and Mark Lewis.

All of my regular "get together" groups have dwindled. My Thursday

Between Covid, old age, moves, etc, a lot of people we knew when we
first moved to WF are gone. Still a good number of folks we've known for
almost as long as we've been here, but, that's life. (G)
