why thanks for asking Glenda!

It was ssssooooooooo busy, fun, entertaining.... that I didn't even have a chance to think about pictures. Yep, NONE, nada no pictures.

A couple of days before my friend Jean calls me, and asks, how many people do you think are coming? I say, I dunno. Her: how many did you invite? Me: I dunno...

Then I went to the puter, and looked, cause after all, I was smart enough to make a list.

I counted how many I had invited: 67

YIKES, that is a lot of people.

Next I counted the ones I had marked positive, cause those had gotten back to me, saying they are coming. 24

Negative were only 6

BUT!!!! I had forgotten to remind people I don't text. No telling how many people replied via text.

YIKES!!

But, in the end it looks like 30 people came. A very good friend from Newkirk Oklahoma even stayed the night. Another good friend came from Tulsa, and one from Ft.Cobb.

There where mostly cycling buddies, some Master Gardeners, some fellow knitters, people I worked with at Home Depot, people I work with at the school kitchen, and one lady from when I worked at Braums.

Terrific mix of people. :)

I had a guest book out (unfortunately not many signed in), name tags, and little slips of paper to fill out for fun. Those slips read:

I know Moni since.............
I met Moni at..................
I know this about Moni.................... that someone else might not know

name optional.............

Then later, after we ate, I read them off, whitholding the name, letting people guess who it was.

That was a HOOT.

The whole thing was over by 10:00 PM, and Helen and I were in bed by 11:00

Next morning Bill and Judy came by early to see, if I was ready for the Saturday morning bike ride... but Helen was still here.

After Helen left, I headed to the route the riders take on Saturdays, which is just 5 blocks north of me. Met up and rode with them.

My house is almost back to normal. Still need to vacuum.

Must have a wine tasting party sometime this fall, to get all those bottle of wine gone, that people brought with them. LOL

Moni

sorry I missed it Moni, it is crazy here. I did have plans to come, I missed all the fun and wine!

GOOD FOR YOU, Moni!

I like how your attitude. No wonder everyone had such a great time!

Cheryl, the wine is still all here. We had beer, brats, sauerkraut, roasted tators and lots of stuff others brought.

Need to do a wine tasting... planning on waiting for cooler temps this fall.

Thinking an evening around the fire pit would be great for wine tasting. :)
