This evening we did our first entertaining of the summer. So you all can thank me for this evening’s rain. Luckily, it stopped right before our party started, so it didn’t ruin the evening for us. And, as a bonus, I didn’t have to water the plants today.
Our friend John and his girlfriend came over for a little cookout. We had a great time. All the bases were covered–we ate, we drank, and we were merry. John’s girlfriend is originally from the Ukraine and she brought pictures along from a trip they took there over Christmas. That was one of the many highlights of the evening. John’s kids, while invited, did not make it this evening as they had other plans. I guess that’s how it is with teenagers. As much as I like them, I was kind of glad they didn’t come because Jake went on a road trip to his Aunt Jenn’s this weekend (in New York state) and he would’ve been totally pissed to hear we had them over when he wasn’t home. So, at least we won’t have to lie to him about what we did on Friday night.
