June 28th, Day of the party

The best part of the day is captured by Maura's wonderful camera. The lens is at least a foot long and it must weigh 8lbs. I think it's like 12 MP. (it's a 70-200 2.8 IS) Present at the party were: Tom and Sharon, Maura, Darrin, Riley, Brian, Sammy, Cate, Kyle, Margo and Don Sullivan, David, Moe and Greg Howard, Larry, Toby and the dogs, Puddy and Gracie. That was all the close family. Good friends, Bobbie,Tommy, Christine, Molly, Laura, and Meg,

We, or I should say they played on everything in, and around the house. Out side was the swimming pool, tennis court, tramp, and water volley ball. In the basement was pool and foos ball and the theatre room.

Riley and Don have found the theatre chairs so comfortable that they have used them as beds. Riley for the night, Don for a nap. I've got to say I've done the same on occasion. The basement is the coolest place in the entire house when it 90 outside. Lot of pool after a big tennis game. there was a nice wind today but it was still hot.

As for me, my BS is still very touchy. It was 175 this morning and then came down to 147 at lunch and back to 173 for dinner. I did have a very small piece of Mo's carrot cake.

The food was excellent and many brought their best dish. I cooked the meat and the rest of the family did everything else. I stayed with it until about 7:30 and then went for an hours nap. It is now 10:42 and I'm ready for bed. Hope you enjoyed the pictures as much as we did having them taken.
Love to all that could not make it.
Tom
