Big!











This was definitely our biggest gathering since moving to Bowen! We hosted a party in honour of our neighbour Sue (bottom right in the photo on the right), past president of the Family Place Board of Directors (I'm currently the Secretary). With most of our board--and their families--we totalled 25 people for a potluck dinner! Miranda was astounded (and initially dismayed--but she adjusted eventually) to see 10 other kids playing with her toys, and my Betty Crocker chocolate cake (garnished with blueberries!--what was I thinking?) was a real hit with young and old(er). OK, so I'm not Martha Stewart, as evidenced by my "seasonal" green-and-orange themed decorations (featured in unadulterated form in the first photo, which was taken just before the guests started to arrive), but I definitely get an E for effort! As in EEEEEEEK! Actually, it was a lot of fun!

Maybe not Martha Stewart, but The Irish would have been proud of you, Deb!!
