Yes! We love to have them and will be deputizing our 7 (age 6 -21) to help your feel welcome. If you need a babysitter, let me know and I'll put the word out!
Hard to say and keep your fingers crossed that it's not another brutal fire season, meaning air quality issues. The 10-year average for 9/1 is 80 degrees. Nights start being cooler and longer, so there is more refreshment factor.
Garden party dressy. Posy will be wearing a short dress and flat shoes and Howard, a suit. Part of the party will be on grass, lots of stairs, so you might want to leave your spike-y heels at home.
If you want to explore the area, you'll want a rental car. If you don't want to rent, please let us know way in advance so we can arrange pick up/car pool for you.
Howard and I would love to have you here as long as you're willing to come. We're pretty disorganized at the moment, but there will be plenty to do, if you like projects and lots of great people to meet. We will be hanging around for the week following, before taking off on our honeymoon. Grass Valley is about an hour and a half from the Sacramento airport.
