It was time for the fall reception for chairs and cabinet officers and so we were hoping for good weather even though the weatherpeople were suggesting that rain might come. Fortunately we were able to stave off the rain for enough hours to make it through the event. The flowers came first and were quite impressive

as delivered by this lady.

Next the Main Street crew arrived and tried to move the bar into place after which I noted the box with their linens the party favors and the serving plates and then the various foods they intended to serve -- small pitas that would be spread with tomatoes, tzatsiki and lamb burgers the tomatoes much food under our counter the rissoto, burgers, salmon etc. on our stove the Yorkshire pudding shells the salmon on a stick vegetables, other foods and desserts flowers to garnish and dips as the assembly process for the lamb burgers was beginning and the burgers rissoto puddings and crab were photographed before I took in the scene around the house and outside

and had one last look at the kitchen.
