last night the party was…actually kind of fun.\u00a0 i didn’t feel utterly wiped out by one a.m. when the last guests finally left.\u00a0 and i owe a huge part of this to my AWESOME FRIEND BEV.<\/p>\n
i had asked her to “help out” during the party with replenishing food.\u00a0 last year i couldn’t even get from the fridge to the food table and felt harried and stressed out and by the end i thought WHY WOULD I EVER WANT TO DO THIS AGAIN?<\/p>\n
bev did ALL of it, and she didn’t even seem to mind.\u00a0 she has told me before that she enjoys hosting parties.<\/p>\n
she even started washing dishes last night before she left.\u00a0 she dragged john to the party with her, and i made him light all the candles inside and out of the house, and there were lots and lots of candles.\u00a0\u00a0 he did an excellent job, and luckily i told him about the candle lights that are little electric lights even though they look like candles.\u00a0 i told him this right after he’d tried to light one.\u00a0 luckily nothing caught fire and the really funny thing is that the light still worked even though it was a little smoldered on top.<\/p>\n
this morning it’s sunny and warm and promises to be a fabulous weekend and i have no party to get ready for now!\u00a0 although kevin and finished most of the cleaning and now the floors are spotless and we have quite a bit of food left over and could have another party tonight with no effort.<\/p>\n
i took a bunch of pictures of the place this morning, and took lots of photos last night, and the camera is charging now and soon i’ll start posting them.<\/p>\n
or i might wait till tomorrow.<\/p>\n
it seems much too beautiful to be sitting here inside.<\/p>\n
ok then,<\/p>\n
