Buddy Retires

Well, Buddy is retired now too. So, of course, we had to have another party.

We had the usual suspects, and some folks we hadn't seen in way too long, such as the Gullicks and Dean.

 

And Tony and Esther.

 Part of the fun was that folks got to meet new friends. Here Ed chats with Tony while Esther meets Cindy.

 Craig showed up.

And so did Dennis.

Chris chats with Jane, Titus, and Lori.

Gracie is all bundled up.

Bill made a card and we all signed it.

What We're Eating
Party fare was ribs, baked beans, and canapes (bleu cheese/walnut, and smoked salmon/caper), along with rice, salad, cake, cookies, and hot drinks. Notice the cocoa and schnappes on the bar.

It was a spectacular sunset.
