Almost June

The year is just flying by, can't believe it is almost June already.

1. Do you have many celebrations in the month of June?

2. What one alcoholic drink (if you can pick just one) do you enjoy in the summer?

3. At a BBQ, which one would you rather have, a hot dog or hamburger?

If you're talking to me about the graduation party menu or picture, yes.    Not all the food was put out at once; there was more in the kitchen to restock with.

I also enjoy the planning and preparation just as much as the party.

Because I wasn't inviting them to move in .... And if someone waited until 4pm to show up, the food would have been put away and the guest of honor wouldn't have been there.

But you only put the invite for 2 hours. That sounds like a southern wedding invite to me. lol.

Well then I guess your guests know that they need to bring a ton of food and drink to your parties.  You might want to think on that a bit...

Why would anyone think that, except someone who doesn't have experience in having a larger party?

No, I have PLENTY, actually WAY too much but, again, this is how my friends and family are. Many of my friends have specialities they make, especially for my football party. I also provide all the drinks, alcohol included, but there is always a few people who bring some beer or other alcohol they drink. Maybe because I am speaking of less formal parties. Many times I have just catered from a local Italian restaurant as it was cheaper than making everything and my time is always limited.
