We had a beautiful evening with some beautiful people "I met off the internet"!

Fortunately I've met Mikey, MikeW, Jerry, and Blind'Too before.

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.

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!

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