It was Saturday April 9 and a beautiful day, so we decided to walk to what we perceive as the end of Nassau Street and back. Along the way, I took an obligatory phone booth picture involving Ben.

The next day was party day. We were having a crowd of hundreds (well, maybe 100) and so it was good that Don was starting to get things ready and the wait staff was prepared as the backyard bar was set, the flowers hung and the table set not far from the planter and other arrangements even as the inside bar got ready and glasses were unpacked. The family room will never be this clean again and despite our efforts at organizing the porch no one went out there. The kitchen had flowers so I went to put on the baseball tie as more flowers (or flower pictures) emerged and the herbs and other arrangements came to the kitchen while the buffet was set and the veggies and dips and arrangements for hummus and the bar were set so that the cheeses and hummus could come out. The display was beautiful but I never got to taste it though the bartender did share his wares with me but first the food truck had to offload so that Jane and Chef Larry could get together for her chicken tenders which didn't seem to be served to others.

On Monday April 11 on the way home from work, I ran into 3 generations of Sanderson's having a picnic as the baby slept more or less.
