Just thinkin' - June holiday

So, Laura and the gang are considering 2-3 nights. Frederick's school year ends 11 June - a Friday. Katie is the only one so affected. Perhaps we could have a Flag Day extended weekend - starting the evening of 11 June through to Tuesday morning, 15 June. Can't travel on Flag Day, you know, its sort of a rule I just made up. For those among us who are happily ignorant, Flag Day, 14 June, is Jim's birth anniversary, and since it is a Monday, the holiday is on the actual date this year.
Now, I am not proposing that Jim and Deann and Will and Jacob need to come to the farm to celebrate, though one could make a day trip or just a single overnight,
In early June, the nights will still be cool, and noxious insects in short supply.

June Trip to The Farm!

So, Ricky will be home on leave in June. I would love to set a date and have a family farm gathering during that time. I can make arrangements for someone to handle the heavy lifting - getting my father in and out of bed, cleaned, and so on so Greg and Mary and Andrew and I can go. I want to set a date early so those who actually work for a living can get vacation time.
