Let me know when you're having the Marine do the mingling. We can have a Hobbit Hole knife (we actually have quite a lineup now), waiting. The kids don't have to see it, although Marines and knives do go together.
That would be wonderful, Rick...thank you!
He is actually going to NC the week after we are going to have the card-making...his family doesn't want to move to NC though, so he is actually offering to go to Iraq so his family can stay here. Homeschooling laws are very friendly here and it's why they (and we) want to stay here.
Anyway, he's scheduled to leave for NC but that may change.
