From my perspective Over all attendance- B+ A few didn't come, one couple went home shortly after arriving due to illness (they hadn't eaten my chili yet so I'm innocent) But Nearly everyone I most desired to see were there Science- B+ The table fountain I brought looked good but a couple of fountains in it didn't work and it leaked a tad on the table which I don't think was level. My nephew's music equipment functioned great and he did a great job of selection. Cooking- A- All of my green Chili with Pork was eaten and the pan scraped clean so it must have been well received. My first ever attempted veggie lasagna was only half gone but my Brother in law wanted to take the rest home. The ribs were very good but I thought the turkey drumsticks were a little underdone. Mathematics- B+ We weren't sure how many were going to be there and set up too many tables so the gathering was scattered out a little too much. There was a lot of extra food but better too much then not enough. We finally found enough candles to place on all the tables. Joanie and Kel were the only single women (Ari has a beau) there over 14. Kel rebuffed my advances so I had to flirt with Charlie. And he hadn't shaved. Music- B My nephew picked a lot of good songs but I would have interlaced a few more Celtic type tunes. My fault, as he loves that kind of music but I didn't get with him before the party. The part that drops the grade down was that he played the Macerana (I hate that song) by request and YMCA by the Village People. Arrrgh! I had requested Play Me by Neil Diamond as it was kinda Joanie's and my song from the old days. Unfortunately I felt compelled to ask her to dance which is not my strong suit. It kinda surprised her as in our 25 year marriage we had danced only once or maybe twice. (We disagree on the figure) What's that? Oh it was unfortunate 'cause we were the only two on the floor and it made my Fonzie like dancing skills even more evident. Citizenship A++ Everyone was beautiful and many actually wore Celtic attire. Uhm, the host waited too long to look and couldn't find anything. He also woosed out on the opening speech he had planned but I don't take away from the grade 'cause of extra credit gained for... Kel and Ari. I was tempted to write something snarky about them as I read some of their comments about me... (sucks rocks, indeed) but they made my weekend by being here. Joanie's brother and sister sitting at the same table after not speaking for twenty years was heart warming. My Sister's teen aged son and my Nieces teen aged son fascinated by the music equipment (and not playing some gory video game) and Joe teaching them how to use it was excellent. The look on Joanie's face after the party as she thanked me (with a special thanks for not giving my speech and embarrassing her) was worth the effort alone. Soooo things are back to dull and normal. I'm looking forward to catching up in Blogdom Enjoy the ride. All you take with you when you leave is the experience. |

Gotta love that celtic music, and I love celtic and medieval attire. My husband wore chainmail and a sword to our wedding. Sanity and normalcy are over-rated

Hey bubba.....you can say all the snarky you want....you'd just be fibbing cause I was an angel and Kel was her usual naughty self. I'm just gonna stand back and see which one of you wins. I know where my money is going....and I think you should just.....back down and accept the inevitable defeat. Of course....there is plenty of pleasure to be had in harassing the old bat a while. It was so wonderful, Certs....all I wished was that I had a driver to get me home....holy crows..... Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I am happy that you pulled this event off sir and I am sad that I could not of possibly made it. Life as normal, is chaotic. The lil family is still moving in and I'm still shoving stuff into the lil travel trailer and well I really have to get around to setting it up and not just storing it... but first, I must get down south to see my sister and her family and even farter south to see all my inlaws and friends, I've missed so long now. I will eventually get around to traveling the entire coast and then perhaps, I will even get around to swirling into the center states too. BUT for now, I must try to keep up with things going on here and now. Someone has to keep things running smoothly and heck, what will my people here do without me? My next trip is MartiGra in Feb. I am borrowing, stealing, and saving for it b/c I won't miss it again not for the party but for my kin down that way still trying to recover from Katerina! I am so happy you had this gathering of sorts and I look forward to reading more about it and even better...seeing some pics! Peace,lisa Make luv & war will be extinct! Stop the hate!

You are so going to lose...and I know what the trucks mean, too.....there could be one headed....south...at any time. I wish you luck....lots and lots of luck...and patience...she has the patience of a....well....she can wait a LONG time to get even.....just remember that as you reach into your bag of tricks....she could have put Fang in there to bite your finger...... I'm thinking you should remember how far she went to get her hands on....whatever she had her hands on...lol....oh dear...promise you will protect me from her revenge for that one.... Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

Manchester was wonderful. Four days on a narrowboat. I have video, including shots of Miss Nervous (a single lady wood-duck who we taught to eat bread from our hands), endless stretches of canal and the accompanying quaintness of the locks and the narrowboat community, and the Evil Swan Family, who we taught to eat bread off the edge of the boat (we wanted to keep our fingers intact). Yes, it's food for a blog, but I have other stuff to process first. Off to Tennessee tomorrow (daughter dances). More as I can. Love, LK
