I threw a party today! In celebration of the beautiful Spring weather. Outside, physically distanced, no more than five of us at any one time and liberal use of hand sanitizer.
I've just been so jealous of spying on people from my balcony having BBQs and picnics, i thought: I WANT THAT FOR MYSELF!!! And i made it happen!
The building dog parents meet in the dog-park mid-afternoon so i called my one close neighbor to rendezvous there and she said two others were coming.
I threw together an amuse-bouche with two chilled bottles of my alcohol-free Chardonnay, raspberries, Arrowroot cookies and grapes.
I put out my intriguing white tablecloth with the raised ragged squares pattern on the bistro table out there.
I just made ice cubes yesterday and just in the knick of time. I put the wine in a pot and filled it with them.
I put out my BOSE external Blue-Tooth speaker and played romantic piano music.
Two others stopped by also. I put the whole thing together in 45 minutes so it was pretty stressful but i was pleased with the result.
Unfortunately, my dog fussed and fussed and wouldn't settle down until about the last half hour. I would have had a much better time if she wasn't so fussy around other dogs.
Anyways, i'm thrilled to have craved that sort of experience for myself and actually made it happen! I'm 54 and it's only the fourth party i've thrown in my life!
Aces!
Hugs to all!
