Friday the 13th did not deter us in any way from celebrating our end of week get-together, and we even had a full house, plus visitors! Despite a threat of rain and lightning, the weather turned out great with temps in the mid 80's. All of the Rivertarians made it this week (rare): Tim, Ted, Jay, Pat and me. Ted's brothers also came to visit for the weekend. Great having Mark and Steve join us - it's been a while since we've seen these guys.
We had a little project early on (when Lori told us to get busy lol) up by Park Middle School. A tree service had taken down an old Maple at the corner and Lori had them save the big pieces that hadn't been mulched. So we jumped in (or on in the case of Tim and me) Jay's truck and went to retrieve the wood. The inside of the tree was infested with large black ants and they were not happy. Hey, do you know what's worse than ants in your pants? Wait, never mind. Anyway, we dropped the wood off at Christina's for future use.
The rest of the evening was spent laughing it up on the front porch, watching the hummingbirds, and talking about food. The details are a little foggy now as I write this, but somewhere along the line we agreed that our conversational goal seemed to be offending as many people as possible. I'm sure that any passer-by would have agreed.
Truly a great evening with great people.
It was a good afternoon! It was very nice spending time with Ted's brothers. Thanks for the post Mark
