We hosted an end of summer party last night in our yard. We had just over 20 people show up. Everyone brought some thing so we had more then enough food and drinks. The weather was perfect to sit around the fire pit, warm with a slight chill in the air. We kept it going and talked and laughed for hours. It’s so much to have that many friends and neighbors together. The kids drank kiddie cocktails, ran wild and played us some music. Some of the men, finally after talking about it for months, decided to play a few rounds of poker. The yard looked so nice. We worked on it all afternoon, cleaning and setting up the chairs, fire pit and tiki torches. Everyone seemed to have a really good time. Even Roxy was good, well other then stealing a little food but she milked all the attention for all she could. It went so well I wish we could do it again next weekend.
