There’s going to be another picnic potluck next year, so I thought I might get you ready for it now by sharing a few photographs from yesterday, along with a picture of how it all looked. Sound good?
Upon walking in to site #4 at Cuesta Park, I’m confident that the first sight that would catch your eye is Haley in an apron and blue gloves, somehow making the whole thing work perfectly without appearing even slightly flustered. (Sorry, I haven’t a clue what her secret is.) And there, slightly off to the side is Mark, hauling a pile of Good Eggs boxes. And then somewhere in that cloud of smoke, wait … yup, it’s John, flipping burgers for quite some time, without losing even a smidge of his good cheer.
The rest of us contributed delicious food and libations, games (you were right, Paula, that corn toss set-up is huge — you and Ben are saints for having hauled it over), and sparkling conversation. It was a real treat to hang out in a relaxed, low-key environment, strolling from conversation to conversation, eating together, listening to a bit of music courtesy of John and Craig, and tossing bean bags about in the dirt (and occasionally on to the corn toss set!).
If you came this year, I’m already looking forward to seeing you next year, and if you didn’t, well, you’ve got to show in 2019!
