So we had two parties this weekend at our place:
Oldest Daughter turned 21 and we allowed her to invite her friends over for a night of fun on Saturday evening. The only hitch was none of them got off work until after 11:30, so the party didn't actually get going till well after midnight. When the last guest left and mrangelmeg went up to the mailbox to retrieve the sign he brought in the Sunday Morning Paper! They had a wonderful time, though and were very respectful and very grateful for the food we provided. They especially loved my "knock you naked - turtle brownies.)
Middle Daughter graduated from high school last weekend, but since I was out of town at class we decided to have her graduation celebration on Sunday this weekend. We invited friends and relatives to come over for a cookout and had a nice time. Daughter was pretty happy, and the food was great if I do say so myself. Mrangelmeg cooks a mean hamburger.
After two days of parties I am totally exhausted, but the house isn't all that torn up, which is nice. One of the biggest benefits of the entire experience is that mrangelmeg carved out a nice little fire pit area in the front sink hole, and oldest daughter placed Tiki Torches to light the way down to it, past the fish pond. It turned out really nice. We will definitely be using that a lot more often this summer. Even if it does look a bit like the Tribal Council Circle from Survivor. (at least that is what oldest daughter and her friends kept calling it all evening on Saturday.)

LOL! I love the last remark! I also had a good time...thanks for having us. I am so proud and happy for your girls. We'll have to have a little wine toast by the firepit this summer some evening..it will be like a mini vacation for me...I haven't been anywhere in awhile and I'm feeling it! See you!
Sounds like you had a fun packed weekend Kid...I hope you managed to get in some down time today...Sorry I missed the festivities but congrats to both girls and all my love...
You bet Suzanne, you bring the chips and I will provide the wine and music. Any evening you want to come over. I won't get much of a vacation this summer either, because of the two classes I am taking so drinks in the getaway may be the mini-vacation I need.
Thanks! Sounds refreshing!
