Our Labor Day picnic began when Adele and Chris ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1500 arrived through the haze and then a bike arrived ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1501 guided by Peter Kramer ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1502 who got Ben started on the back grass ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1503 ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1504 and then adjusted the seat ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1505 as Jan arrived ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1506 to see the last ride around. ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1507

By now, the McKeown/Williams family had arrived ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1508 with the tomato salad ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1509 and wine ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1510 and people greeted ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1511 over appetizers ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1512 while Jane ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1513 Kaylen ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1514 and Lucy ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1515 gathered on the porch but they couldn't resist the lure of grilled meat (and non-meat ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1516 and so dinner was served ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1517 on the main dining room table and some lucky person got to sit on the lucky chair. ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1518 with stuffing to share as another sued their burger ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1519 to save this chair. The assembled ate ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1520 and talked ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1521 ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1522 until Carolyn's wonderful dessert appeared ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1523 and survived a massacred first slice ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1524 that tasted much much better than it looked. Out came the grappa ../../../Sabbat/09.01-06.02FirstDayOfSchool//IMG_1525
