Again, he's doing it all. And not only is there the food. We poured two cement pillars in the backyard yesterday to hang lights across the yard. He built a new picnic table and we're still staining it. We have a second table started under construction in the garage right now that will have to be finished and stained. He built a fire-pit in the yard last weekend. Let's see, what else? OH, the morning of the pig roast is the annual garage sale so our garage is filled with things we're suppose to sell that day. Oh yeah, and we both work full time and he commutes 2 hours a day (round trip) to his job. Our kids are also on a swim team and have daily practice for 90 minutes (combined). I told him he has the project list of a retired person, not a person working full time. But, I'm just going along with it because he seems to be happy and the 4 of us are together and that's what I want.
First, let me compliment you on your choice of beer! ;-D Second, let me lament that I do not live close enough to attend this shindig. Sounds like you guys are trucking right along. Good for you! Enjoy your party and please imbibe a Silver Bullet for me!
ReplyDeleteThat's so funny. The choice of beer was meant to be a bad thing. We thought everyone would see that and decide they had to bring their own so we wouldn't have to have beer for ALL 50 people. Good thing you don't live closer! lol
DeleteSo...how'd it go?
ReplyDeleteAmazing! 65 people showed up though we only invited 50. Actually planning our Oktoberfest party as I type. Wish you could make it!
DeleteHaving recently visited, I can say the lights in the back yard are my favorite. I loved the picnic table, want a replica for myself. But for me, it was the chickens that brought the whole thing together. Maybe next time I can attend the pig roast.
ReplyDeleteThe chickens do add a certain ambience that's hard to fake or beat.
