Day 271 - Party Part II

I suppose last night was not enough. We got a telephone call this morning from one of the party couples last night. They were inviting everyone over for an impromptu pool party. They supplied the burgers and hot dogs. Just bring ourselves, our swimsuits and a dish to pass. Easy enough. I threw together a macaroni salad and a fun, nutty cheese spread with crackers. So the party continued, this time with the kids. And it was so relaxing. Unexpected joy is sometimes the best kind of joy.

Day 270 - Party!

An adult party. Now, get your mind out of the gutter. I'm talking about a real party. With no kids. Just couples. Laughing. Talking. Eating. A little drinking. Listening to music. Telling jokes. Sharing stories. Between taking my kids to birthday parties at Monkey Joe's and the swimming pool I was ready for an adults only kind of affair. So much fun. But it's way past my bedtime. I'll be paying for this tomorrow. But for tonight? Just joy.
