Jacob is a neighbor down the street from me. He's invited 'Sal'
(Salin?). Both are 2-3 generations USA folks. Laugh with me though as
one is jewish and the other from muslim background. We will all be
breaking bread together Thursday. Don't worry, Jacob knew we are good
for extras. Art next door normally comes if his kids can't pick him up
but his DIL Thersa is expected this year. If not, we add another plate.

In fact, if add the extenders to the table, I can fit 14 here at the
main table and 8 more at the Japanese low table. For now though, we
put the big table in the living room that fits 8 easily without the
extenders. Jacob's walker doesn't do the little 'sit on the floor'
Japan table well so this year, not planning to use it.

I guess you will have a lovely party) Enjoy)
