The party's over...

Well, I think our anniversary party was a success. We are still married. We had about 60 friends in the back yard eating and drinking and having a general good time. And our lawn survived. With the leftovers I made a nice shrimp and corn chowder that we ate for 3 days and shrimp salad sandwiches for lunch. Not much goes to waste at our place. I do want to thank everyone for coming.

Now we are concentrating on getting our ducks in a row for the France trip. Figuring out the electrical connections, required documents (and copies), bill paying in absentia procedure, Skype setup, and housesitting confirmation. Started my little pile of "important stuff" on the floor that we just have to take. And with this post, I'm practicing my blogging.
