Party with Long-time Friends

Sunday, August 17, 2014

We partied last night with friends at the house.   Several we had known from previous visits, but thoroughly enjoyed the company of new friends.   Pat put on a spread of a buffet—shrimp Cobb salad, roasted marinated pork loin, spiced turkey sausages, potato salad and a roasted vegetable ratatouille-style salad.  Finished off with mocha ice cream and either yellow chocolate or red velvet cupcakes.    Along with that a couple of New Zealand Sauvignon blancs, a Spanish garnacia, and an Italian Istrian rosé. for a large party of nine.

We had spent the day partly at the farmers market and just relaxing in the near perfect weather.  Ben headed out to Cookman Street for his cappuccino  in the mid-afternoon.    

All in all a good day.  Today, Sunday, it is showing signs of morning showers, but perhaps it will good to go to the beach this afternoon.  Michael leaves for work this afternoon but that leaves Pat, John, and Ben along with Letty, an old friend here.
