Let's try this one more time and hope the weather gods look favorably upon us this time. The Potluck Meetup is rescheduled for the 18th at our home in Spicewood on Lake Travis. The weather for the 18th as of Monday night looks nice and clear so let's try ringing in the fall again with all that good food and good company. For those who have never been to a potluck at our house, we have large fenced acreage on the lake with lots of trees for shade. Potlucks begin at 11:00 and last all afternoon. So here's the scoop for those of you who are new. We'll provide coolers with water and ice, and serve hot dogs with all the fixin's. You bring beverages of your choice and a side dish such as salads/casseroles, appetizers or desserts to share. If you want to bring other meats to grill, please feel free to do so. We will also provide poop bags and ask that you pick up after your pet or anyone else's you see. You must RSVP to this meetup one way or the other since this is at our home. We also ask when you RSVP, please list in your RSVP comments what food you will bring so everyone knows what food we'll have and we can have a variety and avoid duplicate dishes.

OTHER ITEMS YOU'LL NEED TO BRING: lawn/beach chairs so there will be enough seating, beverages of your choice.

CHECK YOUR EMAILS AND THE MESSAGE BOARD FRIDAY NIGHT FOR A REMINDER AND WEATHER UPDATE. I WILL ALSO SEND OUT AN EMAIL BY 8:30 ON SUNDAY MORNING AND POST ON THE MESSAGE BOARD IN CASE THERE IS A CHANCE OF RAIN.

DIRECTIONS: Head west on Hwy 71 about 18 miles past the intersection of Hwy 620 and Hwy 71. Look for the Mueller Metals Building with the orange roof. As you pass that you will see a blinking yellow light and Exxon/Spicewood General Store on the corner. Turn right at blinking ligt on SPUR 191. Go about 1 mile and cross over Cypress Creek. You will see a sign for County Road 410 straight ahead. Continue on that about 2 miles. CR 410 makes a large curve to the right and then a large curve to the left. After the left curve, go about 3/10 of a mile & you'll see a red fire hydrant and the sign for County Road 421. You can only turn right onto 421. Go one mile down and we are on the left - green stucco/stone home with bronze metal roof. Look for the unique gates. Please park along the street rather than on the property. Call 512-784-7399, 512-796-6650 (cells) or 830-693-0274 (home) if you get lost but we will have signs. Once you take that first turn off Hwy 71, it is exactly 4 miles to our house. Check the message board and calendar link frequently for reminders/updates and to see what all the potluck dishes will be.
