i love to throw parties. the house gets cleaned, i get energized to make yummy food, and best of all, when the party’s over, i’m already home!
yesterday, the gang decided to forego our semi-annual bike/camping long weekend trip and instead bike around town and incorporate other physical activities as well. we had a potluck breakfast at the first stop (which was amazing. there were pancakes, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon, granola, yogurt, baked oatmeal, fruit…) then biked to a park where we played frisbee golf. ok, really, my game was more like throw a frisbee, hike to where it landed, throw it again, hike, throw, hike, throw, hike, maybe get close to the goal, move to the next “hole” and repeat. some of us cut out a little early and went back to the shady shelter for a picnic lunch. then, we biked to a community pool and swam for about 45 minutes, then some of us played tennis and then we all ended up back at our house for a potluck grilling supper. it was delicious. it was a lot of fun. there was a giant stack of dishes, but i didn’t care. there’s just something about having a houseful of happy people that makes me smile.
