Sister & Brother Friends

"Yes we're going to a party party,
Yes we're going to a party party,
Yes we're going to a party party!"

It's wonderful to have friends like family.
Family brings joy and history with them,
recollection.


Everybody dives in, helping out in the kitchen.
I love all that chopping and the delicious surprises coming off the stove.
Simple cooking is the M.O. at our house.
Friends and family bring cheerful creativity.

Setting charming tables and filling the vases.
Starting the confabulation and palaver.
Getting the visiting going.


Getting entertainment going.
Hammock.
Marshmallow shooter.
Giants vs. Yankees game.
Knitting.
Catching up.

Good friends bring new cooking skills, decorative skills, and social skills.
I'd rather garden than cook.
Friends spicing up the party are welcome!
This mix makes for fun, fun, fun for host as well as the guests.

I'm thankful for input and giving.
For family and Family.
