Well..we finally had our housewarming...yesterday
the weather looked like it would be bad..after days of sun..the only rainy day..as if to prove it..it started to rain minutes before the 11 am start...but the rain stopped....and held off until an hour after guests left...then a fierce thunderstorm
We had at least 60 people in and out all day..very nice..very positive...but very intense...lot to do
plus all the prep and clean up...we are pooped today
new hit recipe: Chicken Wing dip....not wings, cut up chicken...hot sauce, cream cheese, bleu cheese dressing
met lots of new neighbors, had lots of old friends..my dd, ds, dil and dgks ...
lots of positive feedback, many hadn't seen the house
(what was odd was the many people who said they were coming and didn't show up..inc our builder...but it was ok..there were so many,,any more would be that much more to deal with)
we were pretty worn out last night and today!
and then there was the food I forgot to put out! we had more than enough
dil made some great cookies...friends brought carrot cake and pineapple upside down cake
plus we had the magnificent cake from the cake lady..and she refused payment..said it was a housewarming gift! (see attachment)
wish you all could have come!!

yes..we have lots of landscaping to do
the ground has been hydro-seeded and a fledgling lawn has begun
still lots of dirt and rocks
we made a flower garden near the porch....
lots more to do...

hmm..I don't know if she has a website...
I don't think so....
locally she is "cakes by Linda"
I have been getting cakes from her since my kids were little

Hi Dutch
Sounds like a great time. I am glad the storms held off until the party was over. I bet you are tired.
Seems there are always people who say they will come and then forget or just don't come. Your house is lovely and I bet you did have a lot of good food.
Sure wish I could have been there!!
Love ya
Hi Mare

Sounds like a good time, even with the thunderstorm! Cake is amazing! We have a local cake lady too.
You can rest now that the big time is over....for at least a minute or two!
