Tuesday, 28 July 09 (NATIVIDAD'S SEEING OFF)

In consideration of a busy weekend of packing ahead, Natividad requested that her Seeing Off gathering take place on Tuesday evening. A delightful 3-hour happy hour resulted. In attendance were:

We listened to Rod Stewart on vinyl and attempted to stay cool, amid one air conditioner and 2 fans.

We feasted upon:

-Soft slices of baguette w/ Pesto (we really need an industrial strength food processor) & those cute little BabyBell triangles of spreadable cheese, served on our fancy Lenox tray (wedding gift from Grandma Pat)

-White wine sangria this time, featuring peaches & strawberries, and again falling drastically short of the necessary supply. For next time, I have learned that our friends really enjoy sangria, and that we can probably never have too much.

-Christy's delightful pitas & hummus;
-Julie's ridiculously amazing homemade 7-layer dip;
-Kim's delicious homemade guacamole (with tomatillos from her garden)

At some point, it was discovered that it was finally cooler out back than it was in the house. We migrated that direction and sat out back, corralled by tiki torches.

Bon Voyage, Natividad! We'll miss you!
