In cahoots with some friends, we hired a mutual friend who is a singer/songwriter that has some mad guitar-playing skills to come be our entertainment. We invited a small group of friends and family to come join us for a bring-your-own-meat-and-beverage potluck on our front porch.
I got to pull out the large collection of thrifted dinner and dessert plates that I've been accumulating for a few years now for just such an occasion, as well as all the cloth napkins and table cloths that I made for my 40th birthday BUNCO party. The Farmboy thought we should use paper goods, but even though it took me two days to do all the dishes, I will never regret the decision and fully intend to do it again! Sometimes its the little touches that make an event just *that* much more special.
Chris Stewart's performance was spot-on and thoroughly enjoyed by all. The kids ran and played and behaved themselves. There was ping-pong and marionberry cobbler and tiki torches and picnic blankets and laughter.
I wanted to immediately reverse the day and start over again.
