Our first trip out of the country took us to France with this awesome group from our church.
Little did we know that the friends made on the journey would remain friends who loved to reconnect and reminisce.
And eat and drink!!!!
When you spend 10 days in close quarters, traveling on a bus all over Northern France you learn way more than you really might want to know about your trip mates! So the need to meet up and share stories and laughter becomes necessary.
When they asked for a volunteer to host the April get together I volunteered...in a weak moment!
I did not know that the hailstorm of the century would travel directly over my house the week before this function, totally destroying my beautiful flower beds, fence, roof, lawn furniture, ect!
But the party must go on....house in shambles or not!
Need a theme for things...go to the attic and unearth all of the decorations from Tim's rehearsal dinner 9 years ago. Mexican is still in style and I had a boxful of serapes that worked.
Thirty wine glasses from a shower many years ago and silverware from the table settings at Drew's wedding. The best part of it all...I knew exactly where everything was!
The biggest predicament was storage for the HUGE overload of STUFF that clutters ever room of my house.
Stuff it in my sewing room and put a sign on the door....
Set out some wine and wait for the guests...
who arrived on time and stayed WAY too long.
Obligation over, now on to the next thing on my list.
Maybe it will be to finish off the wine that was left in all of these bottles!!
