I hate when that happens too.hmm
Oh well, more for everyone else, right? Plus you can live on leftovers for a couple of days.
But I sure dont blame you for being disgrunted, my daughter does that kind of last minute thing constantly.

Two of them are Ken's nephews.  They got in a fighter on J's birthday and now Tim won't stay if J comes.  They are almost 30 years old.  GROW UP!  Or a pair.

You can ship me some ham Deb....  smile

Tell each of those 30 year old idiots that you adore the other one and that the other one will be staying for a bit after dinner....hopefully neither will show up at all.  gig

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body. but rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out and exhausted while shouting loudly "WOW! What a ride!"

Lure the 30 year old toddlers into a room and lock them inside for several hours--let them know that once they have "made up" the doors will be unlocked.  Drop the key off at a neighbor's with instructions for when to show up and unlock the doors, then head to the airport for a long vacation.  Pay the neighbors to chicken sit while youre gone.

We did have a very nice dinner and one of the two problem "children" didn;t show up.  Still had 11 people though.  And the ham glaze was AWESOME -  I am sure that has a little something to do with the nice honey I bought from Reinbeau.
