Parties, Food, People, Play & and whole lot of Fun!

Friends of Brandi and Matt provided their beautiful home and yard to entertain us on Saturday before we left. Birthdays and anniversaries in June were celebrated.


Most everyone spent a lot of time in the pool.  Great grandma had to stay out of the sun.  Sitting in the shaded patio with fan above was my favorite place. 

  
Surprise, Surprise when a Scottish  man appeared playing his bagpipe.  The Bagpiper was a birthday gift from Brandi to Matt (who loves to hear Bagpipers).. 


Matt and Justin cooked up a Shrimp Bowl in a BIG pot. It's ingredients is shrimp, potatoes, sausage and corn on the cob.  It was delicious.









Brandi had some baby pictures of those who had a birthday or anniversary in June and read facts that happen on the June dates. We played name the babies.  After the game the cake was cut and served.  This was Brandi's fun idea. She called her Mom ,Sandy, for help and she gathered and provided the facts that were needed.  Thanks, Sandy, we wish you could  have been there , too..


I got  feeling sporty and Pam and Matt let me shoot some baskets. Out of 3 shots I actually made one basket.  Then Pat and I played ping pong a couple of times.  I can't remember the last time I played. I think Pat could not believe that I could hit the ball more than once.  Of course, he would win like 21 to 4. 


                                                                                            It was a fun party, right B?
