The day of our party arrived, I ran down to the corner shop to buy ice to keep the beer and wine cool. Then a quick tidy up and we were ready. We had high expectations of who would turn up, and as alway, tried to cater for the number.
Although we asked our guests to bring a bottle I had bought a few to start things off, and pushed them deep into the ice.
Kelli had the Mac and cheese warming in the crock pot, and it was to prove popular.
The family were the first to arrive, but there was a little disappointment that several that we thought were positives didn’t make it.
I was pleased to see Tom Newhouse and his wife Jill and I spent time talking to them. The food selection that looked a bit light suddenly was more than sufficient. The wine was flowing, especially into my glass as I circled around talking to our friends. Then just as they arrived, they gradually left and the last die hards helped to pack away what was left of the food, and most of the drinks I had bought was still in the bucket.
It was the end of a fun day, both of us were exhausted, and crashed out for the evening.
