We may be foolish or full of faith. Today we ordered 12 trailers delivered to the ranch in October, 2013, to be used by friends and relatives when they attend our 55th anniversary celebration. For all I know, no one will come, except our children and their family, and of course our friends Robbie and Joyce who live across the road. And my brother and sister in law always appear. But I don't really know for sure, so I am going on faith, that friends and relatives will join us for the weekend of the festivities, and that they would prefer to stay at the ranch in a trailer rather than drive to a Motel in Fredericksburg.
Trying to determine the numbers of guests is always difficult, especially since seldom do people respond to an invitation. I once heard a party planner who said that in DC, half the people who said yes actually appear, and in Los Angeles, double appear than said yes. Once you know, you can plan for it. I have always found in Bethesda that of those who probably will come, only 2/3 ever attend. Even in Nova Scotia, where people were flying, several cancelled at the last moment, for no apparent reasons.
We are just guessing, but at least we will be ready!!
