February: 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, 2/22

Hi all! I'm posting late because February really snuck up on me. One month closer to spring! Although, historically we have been snowed out as late as February, so I guess it's still anyone's guess as to what to expect.

I started a Facebook group to help us communicate more effectively between weeks. Text threads work great, but Facebook is another great way to leave a message for everyone. Let me know if you haven't been added yet - likely we are not Friends. (And if you don't have Facebook, let me know and I'll keep you informed as to what is happening!)

The Facebook group is still in beta version - let's see how it works and then decide if we want to stick with it. I'll make a post weekly with the plan for that Thursday, and you can comment there whether you're coming and what you want to bring.

2/1:
This week we are meeting all together at our house at 6:00, and we will be having a taco/burrito bar. We will provide the taco meat, as well as a non-meat version unless a true herbivore wants to bring a favorite version.

2/8:
The ladies will be meeting separately this week, while the men hang at our house. I'll confirm the location via the Facebook group (or can text you if you'd like). Let's talk this coming week about what we want to plan for the meal.

2/15:
We are meeting all together again at our house at 6:00. One year ago on this date, we had an "iron chef" type meal where we had an ingredient as the theme. Are you up for trying this again? We did lemon last time, and ended up with some lemon noodles, a lemon chicken, a lemon dessert... In the end there weren't as many lemon options as I had thought, so this time let's do a broader theme. BUT I don't want to be singlehandedly responsible if this fails so let's take a vote! Again I'll post in the Facebook group (or text you) what we decide.

2/22:
The men are going to meet separately this week (again, location TBD). Ladies, we will be responsible for any kids at our house - last time we even got a little conversation in! Maybe we can plan on doing a salad bar this week... let me know your thoughts.

See you soon!
