Danny had two parties to attend on Saturday. Bowling at Jessica’s party and playing over at Shawn’s. As we parents picked up kids at the Regan’s house, Bennett and Alice started talking about Armenian Montes.

An impromptu dinner party was set up over at our house. Master chefs Bennett and Alice came with Taylor, Robert, and Mary. Nancy, Ted, Frank, Stephanie, Frank and Elizabeth also came. Elizabeth and Stephanie were in fairly pregnant form.

We spent the evening making the pasta boats filled with ground lamb. The other secrets are the broth and the parsley and yogurt sauce. I was in charge of the hot dog fondu to feed the kids. They had their choice of ketchup and chocolate.

We had a great time.

Today we went to Barbara and Jim O’Callaghan’s for dinner. They have just recently moved to Atlanta. Jim is retiring from the special forces. He has a lot of amazing stories about mountain climbing, missions behind the Iron Curtain, Vietnam, and covert operations.

The kids enjoyed playing Nintendo with their cousins.
