To celebrate our green backyard, the end of summer, Jon’s recovery, and friends in general, we invited a few folks over to have a little ice cream and cake.
The weather had been ideal for a couple of weeks, so of course a former hurricane dropped just enough rain to keep us from enjoying the deck. That said, we still had a ball.

Things get this wild at our get-togethers.

A blurry image of Debbie, from almost the same moment as the one of me on her blog (second photo down).
More photos (including a very nice one of Laura) at Debbie’s blog.
LOL! Now I know what Debbie looked like in high school!
Heh…I was wondering if you were actually taking a photo at that moment…
Ooooh! Nice montage of cakes! It’s like the embodyment of “And sugar plums danced in their heads” (without the plums).
Next year will you invite more contortionists and less freelancers? I need to know now to secure a spot. I can do a neat trick with my eyelids. Does that count?
