It was a perfect day- low 80's, slight over cast with white puffy clouds and then blue skies and sunshine. Never did rain, although as my niece Bethany says, it could be pouring a mile away, which I guess it did, and her neighborhood would be bone dry!
Auntie works for a government contractor that supplies all types of insurance to its employees. I guess that would be how to say it. All I know is she works very hard and lots of long hours and makes trips all over the country!
SO, AS WE ALL GATHERED EARLY, 1:30 pm, TO GET READY FOR THE PARTY AT 5:00 pm, DECORATING, FINISHING THE FOOD, PUTTING BEER ON ICE, (MY JOB!), WE AWAITED HER ARRIVAL AT 5:15 PM. ALTHOUGH I DO NOT HAVE ALL THE PICTURES, WILL POST THEM AT A LATER DATE, HERE ARE A FEW OF US WAITING FOR HER TO ARRIVE AND ALSO AFTER SHE GOT HERE. ENJOY!
