Well, August 1 finally arrived, and our BBQ day dawned clear, hot and sunny! We spent weeks getting the house and yard in order, and on Friday, we picked up the tables and chairs from the party rental place in Duvall, and got the back yard ready for the big event.
We had over 45 attendees this year, and this included family, neighbors, friends and my piano students and their families. It was a potluck event, and each person brought either an appetizer or a salad. We provided the beverages (craft beer, wine, soft drinks, water and coffee) and pies from the Maltby Pie Company.
I was able to get my mother, her 90-year-old sister, and my aunt and two uncles together for the first time in years.
There were a lot of synergies between people who had not met before, and new friendships were forged.
