Thanks for the wonderful hospitality Annette - opening your home to all these strangers " I met on the internet ".

Annette has an incredible patio. Lilypond, koi pond, turtletank, all sorts of wonderful land plants, nighttime lighting, and a husband puring a wonderful Napa Merlot. A very nice place to be.

Great to see some old friends, and meet new ones too.

Sigh, now to make sure today is even half as enjoyable.

Cheers,

Mike

Anytime I see something screech across a room and latch onto someone's neck, and the guy screams and tries to get it off, I have to laugh, because what is that thing?

We had a beautiful evening with some beautiful people "I met off the internet"!  ;D  Fortunately I've met Mikey, MikeW, Jerry, and Blind'Too before.  {:-P;;

I only wish I had more time to chit and chat with everyone.  I was a bit overwhelmed with getting the construction guys in my backyard out before my wonderful guests showed up yesterday and cleaning up that I started a bit late with the cooking.  But in the end everyone brought plenty of delicious food for appetizers, side dishes and dessert.  I'm very happy to know you all enjoyed.  @O@

Besides our guest of honor, Jessica, we met Billy/sooks and his friend Brian, and for my first time, the elusive DW Elaine - Jerry's quieter half  ::)  Considering it was a SoCal get-together everyone drove a looooong way to get to my house.  Jerry brought gifts of plant cuttings and plantlets from his home.  Very nice!  O0

Thank you Mikey for taking so many photos.  I will try to get the few I was able to take later.

Conversations brought up past Ponders Parties (Jerry's and Vancouver  :) ) and plans for the next one.  Hope we can all make it to Jerry's in September!
