wow, Diane and I just came back from the best party . but more on that in a sec… Let’s start with today, which was an absolutely gorgeous day.. I slept until nearly nine thanks to a healthy case of jetlag..   first thin after that was a great game for Gabe’s soccer team up at MMU.. the weather was perfect.. so ws the game..

on the way home from the game. Diane and I stopped in for our annual anniversary pilgrimage to the round church where we were married 26 years ago yesterday. long time. good time..

i saw this original key to the place there today.

and we met Dave.. who was chief tour guide at the round church today. really nice guy.

after that.. came home and tried to meditate.. which ended up turning into a nap..

 

Around 4:30 we headed up to Westford for ‘Westfordpalooze’.. a big party in the sicks of Westford held by three families, including my friends Bill and Corey. . I beleive this was their 7th year of holding the party..

it was at one of the couples houses.. what a beautiful spot !!!

they built a makeshift stage out of the barn..

and my buddy Bill’s brother Pete even made special (delicious) beer for the event and brought it up from Massachusetts.

here are my good bud’s Mike and Jeff..

mike was even rocking one of the limited addition party shirts.

 

 

 

the place had great gardens and  paddocks with horses and llamas.

 

there were some great signs and bumper stickers around the place..

the first band guys even write a song for the event !

and friend rick. again.. he’s everywhere !

i got out the hoop as it got dark.. and folks had real fun with it.. dancing to the really fine music

one of the best hoopers was 6 year old elaine.. she was amazing.. !

they even had an wind powered air pump..

the bonfire was lit just about time for darkness .. it took the chill out

while they played, everyone hopped.. even Mike !

ok.. jet lag commands me to stop right this second..
