In orer to get ready for the party for the chairs, it was necessary to take a few pictures and get back in the habit. I began with Camilo Azcarate, the University's Ombuds Officer.

The next day, Herman Ermolaev from the Slavic Languages and Literature Department and Abraham Udovitch from Near Eastern Studies came to visit.

All of this made me ready to have the table cleared some flowers and candy corn arrive along with many flowers which looked good and fine napkins not to mention the mums that graced our entryway and lots of furniture some of which let us organize my study while the dining room table was ready to be set.

Meanwhile, Jane And Fred were in her room and Ben was on the second floor as the apple bags were set up. We took the group pictures with ChefRob who brought shrimp galore and the tomato dish and hummus and lots of berries for decoration as the kids posed with Risa who was going to supervise the event. The chocolate covered fruit and desserts were being organized by these nice people as the crudite was ready to go and the table was getting ready. Progress continued in the kitchen as the cheeses adorned the table and Ben enjoyed the animals in the study. There was some drizzling as the shrimp were getting ready and the bar was being set. Against this backdrop Sara arrived and Jane showed the hole in her knee which has a long and tragic story of a walk to Rosie's house. The bar appealed to Suzanne and the table and crudite made ChefRob feel like showing his wares as the shrimp appeared and the name cards with and sans flash. After a final record of the food desserts hummus shrimp candy (don't bite hard) bruschetta yin and yang background for the passed hors de ouveres hummus and dead animal unwrapped I admired how ChefRob takes his own pictures and then captured pictures of Peter Jaffe Peter Ramadge Erhan Cinlar Simon Levin and Erhan again to complete my album of chairs.
