Hi Lucy, Thanks for inviting me to your birthday picnic. I'd love to come on Sunday. I know the lake, so I can meet you at the gate at one o'clock. I'll bring some cheese sandwiches and a chocolate cake. My sister wants to help me make it on Saturday. Could you tell me if we need to bring our own plates? I have some picnic plates at home. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone! See you on Sunday, Anna
