As per Stephanie.....as soon as the weather gets a little better, I would like to have another party..... A DO OVER PARTY.  We could all get together and help drink some of the booze that was left over from the New Year's Party.  Maybe everyone could bring their favorite dish.  I want the weather to be nice, so everyone can enjoy the back patio and yard.  Stay tuned for a future date to be announced.

The party was great!!!  

We just don't seem to have any luck when it comes to the weather cooperating with our "Get Together" plans.....   A few inches of snow and black ice on the streets kept most of our gang away from Stephanie's New Year's bash.  Actually, just the walk up the steps of her house was one of the most dangerous areas we came across!    Luckily, Stephanie had also invited a lot of other people so we had a pretty big crowd after all.  There was sooo much good food.....ham,  beef tenderloin, shrimp, cheeses, caviar topped sour cream potatoes, pasta, etc., etc......... and lots to drink....just about anything you could think of.  She had hired a couple of guys to handle the parking, a couple of bartenders and a "waitress" to handle trays of appetizers.  Her house is so great.  We all took the tour....from the basement to the attic....all restored and decorated by Stephanie & Co.  You would have been so impressed.  She has done a fabulous job.  For those of you that were unable to attend, you missed a great party!

We took several pictures, so as soon as they are developed, we'll add them to the website.
In the meantime, we'll put our "thinking caps" on and think of something else for our little group to do in the next 2-3 months or so.  If you have any ideas, let us know.
