Stardate: July 24, 1996

Did anyone say Party? Yes folks, in order to celebrate our new locale, we decided to have a small House Warming Party. We had been planning it for about two months and went crazy in the last week. We invited friends and family to come over and enjoy the festivities, not everyone showed up but that's OK, it's their loss. The Gala event was on July 20th. We had spent the past three months moving, decorating, BUYING, putting together, taking apart, cleaning and of course planning for this party.

We received some very nice complements from the guests (at least the ones that made it). We put a lot of effort into getting food and coordinating parking, and laying out drinks. Oh, yeah I'd like to thank the following people for their extra-ordinary help with preparing and cleaning.

Candy Cohen and Susan Backus

For contributing some excellent food. Candy (Wendi's Mom) make two great Ziti platters and Susan (Wendi's Aunt) made a Vegetable Pasta plate, Zucchini Plate and some KICK ASS Meatballs. BTW, the meatball got better reviews than my whole party.

 

John and Laura Doherty

For there generous contribution of an air conditioner for the living room. For the loan of two speakers that worked out perfectly. For helping prepare the hourdourves, mixing up the drinks and cleaning up.

 

Mary Beth Riordan and Ken Caldera

For helping with mixing it up and cleaning.

And I'd like to thank EVERYONE who helped out and I forgot here. For their generous gifts and. Wendi and I put everything together pretty well, if I do say so myself...
