Back with a bang

After a month off, we had a big gang on Wednesday for Family Dinner. Being that it was sunny and solstice, we decided it was the perfect opportunity to have dinner on the deck. And since there were THIRTEEN of us, it worked out perfectly.

Mark, Jess, Charlie, Lucas, Jessie, Bruno (who was celebrating his first month on earth!), Chelsey, Morgan, Melaine, Jason, Ted, Johnnie, Matt and I all enjoyed a great dinner. Barbecued pork ribs, smoked salmon, green salad, tomato marinade, crusty bread and broccoli diablo au gratin, lots or red and white wine, ginger-mango hooch liqueur and Trader Joe's cookies for dessert made for a great meal. There were more conversations going on than could ever be recorded. Turns out if we don't all see each other for a month, the chatting could go on forever.

Happy Summer!
