Okay, the company party for 150 people was crazy. The 13 cakes were too many, 6 were left over. If it had been an alcohol-less party, I'm convinced that dessert would have been a bigger success. There was too much refried beans and rice, and believe it or not, too much beer and margaritas.

But there was not too much fun, Dante Schmitz played wonderful music and we shared delightful conversation. To quote a Summit County Bee-ism, I think a good time was had by all.

And the 72 luminaries in the front yard really should have been photographed for posterity. Sad that I was too darn busy.

And there was a dang cute wreath on the front door. I'll be eating peppers for weeks.
