Family Dinner

[marnanightingale]

So, this week has been ... difficult. Very.

So here's the deal: we very much want to see you people tomorrow. Our community, we needs it right now, very badly. But we're all sort of worn, torn, beat, battered, bruised, confused and generally not at our exact best.

None of us has the spoons to plan or cook.

So here's the deal: we'll provide the space. I will even try to get down there and, you know, tidy it up some.

But this week, we're counting on you guys to bring the food. We'll provide coffee, tea, plates, cutlery, and places to sit.

I know that there is a general Granola-Wide spoon shortage right now; if you just can't, don't. Pick up some fruit or something on your way over or just show up. But do please show up. We want to see you. We can always order pizza and pass the hat.

I have had a terrible week myself and would love to..... 'feel community' sounds just wrong, somehow.... visit.  

I don't have any vegetarian makings but can come with turkey soup and coleslaw.

That would be awesome!

So sorry you're having such a bad week!!

I'd bring in pizza. And spoons. And forks. And sporks. But the pizza would be quite cold by the time I'd get there.

My best wishes to you for better weeks.

Is there anyone who is going to family dinner tonight who has a car and can pick me up? I want to make Lemon Merginue Pie and bring it but can't use vrtucar tonight (I'll be getting another car this evening and I can't drive two cars at once) and I fail to see how I can get such an item there intact if I take the bus. (forgive the cross posting).

I can check with E and E?

That would be great.

I am envious of your family dinners, and sad that you have had such a bad week. Hope things get better for you guys. I only know you through John and Frances, but you are much admired and deserve better.

I am told you are local. Want to come tonight? We'd be delighted to have you if you're fairly chaos-friendly. Email me at marna at marna dot ca for details.

Aww! I would love to, and I thank you heartily for the invitation, but I am currently home sick with something rotten. I would feel awful if I came only to infect you. That would be a terrible first impression. ;)

We do it most Thursdays, possibly not next week but in general yes. When you are recovered we shall recruit you. :-)

You must come try them. They tend to be a highlight of my week and help keep me from going crazy with school.

I'm sorry that this week has been so difficult and I wish I could be there, but I _really_ have to fix some major stuff on my side... :(

I send you my warmest thoughts; I miss you all...

*Big bold hugs*

I admire your ability to know what you need.

*rueful grin* Let's just say I'm learning, sort of.

*hugs* Regrets that I couldn't stop by... I had prior and inescapable plans last night.

Sympathies to you and the whole family that the times are rough, and hopefully we can get together soon.
