Housewarming

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!!

so funny you should say that..we have not rushed to decorate..for that reason..getting to know the house


still bare walls in most rooms...keeping it simple seems good!


I am sure things will creep in here...like the dgds books and stuffed animals have..LOL
