Whew. Wow. Thanks. (Anniversary BBQ)
We're alone in the house. O_o
that always feels a bit weird after having a houseful of people, and especially feels weird after having houseguests.
and now that Myriam and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
dortheleus are on their way back to Montreal (bon voyage, you guys!)
both kinds of after are happening in my head.
It was a lovely party, relatively mellow (I would say, I don't know if Jeff would agree) though of course I didn't get to talk to everyone... that always makes me feel a bit melancholy... Tie dye happened, though late... tie dying by the light of the lawn lanterns was very interesting! Much food, with MAJOR props toag_unicorn for manning the grills... manfully. It was great.
We SO overbought on the booze. *shrug* at least it's not like it'll "go bad"... we're set for party contributions for a lil while at any rate...
Thanks todeedeebythebay and coyote3502, we have rewashable "disposable" plates and tableware in the dishwasher, and I think our trash-load for this function is a bit less than it has been. Thanks to 1radicaldreamer, my "cork collection" project is DONE, I don't have to collect them anymore. She also gets props, and we add thanks to fyrekaaat and prince_vincent for shelling the black walnuts and we will have to see what happens when they dry out! those kids are tough - they even dealt with maggoty walnuts without icking and freaking out. *praise*
EDIT: I forgot to mention the big help fromtsgeisel and madametromboni in the making of mojitos. Thanks, guys! you kept me gently relaxed all afternoon! it was great!
a lot of me wants to just list who made it out here, to help my memory.
David and Renee, the Busy family, the Choirloft, John K., Anselm and Teryn, Ethan, Anita, Chris, Mark and Laura, Rachael and 'toria, Ruth and Shelley, Fritz and Allison. I think that's everyone. It was not too busy, it was a little hot, but not bad, we had kid art made for us and a couple of "happy anniversary!" cards that made us laugh (all of which is on our crowded fridge now), some flowers, and just TONS of happy food.
I don't have to eat all the food to feel the love that came with it all. Thanks to everyone who brought their happy energy and came out to play.
getting sleepy. G'night LJ land!
Second Edit: for cool pictures you can go totsgeisel's picasa web. (btw, he offers to take anyone off the photostream if they don't want on.)
Excellent job, David! I _LIKE_!
