Sorry we didn't invite you in time enough for you to come.
But we will graciously make a place for you if you come at nine p.m. with cake.
Oh, and whipped cream too.
Please.

I want to come! I'm already in my pjs and now am sorely tempted to get dressed again just so I can join you. The company sounds just as appealing as the whipped cream. :)
But 9pm is late for this girl... I will have to think about it.
I've enjoyed many dinners on the porch. They are wonderful. I'll take a rain check since I'm enjoying The Sagamore this week. We arrived last night. Had a great weekend of ministry time. We will be resting most of the day.
O.K. I am having a few negative thoughts: "If Nan has not assigned you a number, does that mean that you are not a friend"..."Is this one of those times when you should desire to be just a number"...But then Laura said she thinks one must request a number...But I said that knowing what a sweet, thoughtful friend Nan was, I would probably be number 498,264,932,107...and I would have trouble remembering my number...
Love you, Nan, and looking soooo forward to being together...realllll soon.

Just for the record, I think you owe your readers a night on the porch with cake and whipped cream just for tantalizing us so cruelly. I mean, you must agree that you phrased things rather cunningly! :)
Me?
CUNNING?
