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.
