Last night we had the first party on the deck, with the barbeque, the umbrella all lit up, candles in hurricane glass, the fire pit in the patio area below, 28 people altogether. Way too much food. Kids roasted marshmallows and made smores.
I'm 50 and it's the first time I've really done this. How did that happen.
Anyway, it's devastation out there this morning. :)
The only real problem is I need serving/side table for occasions like that, a folding table with a white tablecloth, because the food took up all the room on the table, even with a couple of smaller tables holding the chips and dip, the baker's rack holding the watermelon and incidentals and the serving cart holding the drinks, plates and cups etc.
All in all, a good day the whole family together including my sister and her family and my parents, all of our kids, with two of them leaving for LA today.
