For whatever reason things stay really hectic here. Combination of the house project (which takes time even if it's stalled somewhat), work, stuff etc. And now it's August, with our DC trip coming v. soon (yay).
Anyway, we ended up having a nice weekend. Patrick came up from Tucson on Friday afternoon (with Scholl in tow), and eventually we had a big group of folks in the house that evening for his birthday dinner. Patricia put together cheesecake, pound cake, shells; Mary Beth brought the right salad. A moment of consternation when the cookbook with the traditional cheesecake recipe went missing (a victim, hopefully temporarily, of the construction process). But I hear the reviews on the alternate recipe were excellent anyway. It was the very first time she fired up the new stoves. We even moved all the kitchen chairs into the eating area. Sometimes this feels like we're moved back in.
So it was fun to have EPG around, even if it was only about 24 hours. They went bowling after the birthday dinner, then Chris and Jon came by in the afternoon.
Later in the evening some of us went to a concert by James Taylor, you can read about it on the other site by clicking here.
