Turn Out The Lights.....

The party’s over. They say all good things must end.
I don’t know the rest of the song but it is fitting for the occasion.

Due to the weather, we ended up moving the whole thing over to my Dad’s barn. It took three days to set up and all day Sunday to break down. Needless to say, we are tired.

 I could not have asked for a better turn out for Kylee. Somewhere between 60 and 70 people showed up with about 30 calling and cancelling. The weather had a lot to do with it.
Good people, good food and good fun.

 The band played Old Southern Rock and Old Country for most of the night. I can’t thank these folks enough for coming out and doing what they did for her.

 We served smoked wild whole hog we caught a month or so back with several side dished cooked in dutch ovens and many others were cooked and refrigerated until eating time. We also had so many appetizers that I can’t even remember what all they were. The stuffed peppers were the biggest. Folks were eating them right off the grill. 

 You can tell in this picture I am tired. My Dad started cooking around 6:00 AM and I finally got started around 7:30 AM

I finally called it a night close to midnight. Here it is Tuesday and I am still trying to recover.

This was my last big party I ever plan to host. Next month is the middle girls baby shower and all we are planning is finger foods and about 20 people. The women folk will stay inside and do whatever they do when the men folk that are dragged along will sit outside with me, around the fire, drinking a cold one. Now that sounds like fun.

Until next time,
Jerry
