After a heavy downpour yesterday afternoon, the weather cleared or at least was dry for our garden party. We ended up having over 80 people ranging from just under a year to 86 years old. The food disappeared in seconds and we only managed to go through 40 bottles of wine. As it cooled off in the evening people crammed inside and our friend Alex played guitar and sang a few songs including Imagine. Our sweet 86 year old neighbor, Madame Borot sat next to Alex and soaked up the atmosphere as everyone sang along. What a fun time. The cats were in hiding but returned minutes after the last guest went home. And now there's the cleanup. Bugger. At least it's a sunny morning to help wake us up.
