the grand bash has been hinted about in many places, but not openly addressed. why yes, i am always up for a good party! are ya kiddin’ me?! however, seeing as how we are leaving this residence on saturday, yes, that is approximately 3 days away, and i have yet to get my new utilities turned on, mail transferred, or my house sufficiently packed or cleaned, i am a’feared that the much anticipated shindig will have to happen after we are no longer here. mandy has offered up, with a tiny suggestion, her abode for the fun. and we will probably wait until clayton’s day off hits a weekend (since my husband would be sorely disappointed to miss him!). plus, that will get all of us mamas through the first couple of weeks of school. not to mention, it will give all you monticellonians a wonderful chance to save for and plan meticulously for the extravagant food and beverages that should flow at a parker party. so, come on, people, get to plannin’! the kids want cheese pizza. mark likes the tgifriday’s spinach artichoke dip, pearl’s fond of mandy’s parmesan chicken, lee, mandy and i are a little more than fond of any dessert with chocolate in it, and taylor, pull out all the stops we need some fine food, man! the captain must be served to a certain trooper and his ride-along buddy, the vino will be well appreciated by many, and i might even step up to one good glass of the blackberry! let’s do it!
ps, for a more informal get-together we are having one last sale/giveaway this friday and saturday and we will be packing a u-haul on saturday. come join the fun without the leisure!
