Birthday Party

We invited Ed, Judy and the Cohens for a cookout today to celebrate Robert’s 16th birthday.

We crammed the usual 2 days of weekend chores – transfer station, shopping, gardening, changing sheets, laundry – into Saturday. James slept over so he could watch one of Tyler’s championship games with us and see the Mashpee Pops fireworks, which were gorgeous.

James got to swim in Tyler’s pool, and we did, too, a refreshing dip.

I finished the front garden and put down pine chips today. Ron and I had lunch on Saturday at the new Greek restaurant in Sandwich. We liked it so much, we ordered from the catering menu for today – tzatziki, spinach/feta pies, kebabs, salad. Everything was excellent.

I picked up another table and umbrella and some groceries. It took me 3 runs, I think, to get everything we needed: soda, ice, plates, cups, cake, ice cream, lemonade.

Ron set up music and everyone had a great time.
