Saturday night – party echos

I realized tonight that this would have been the night we had our annual halloween party… it didn’t make me sad that we weren’t having it.. brought back very good memories of all the great parties we did have .. I’m tryign to think of how many we had.. I know I ‘inherited’ the parties when I baught the house in 1981… I know we had them up until 2006.. right before Sam died.. and then we had a few more after .. i think maybe 4 . Substract 2 years for england and 3 years for grad school ..(though the rentors held parties those years) maybe thats 25 years of parties give or take.. Some were huge.. I think the biggest I ever counted was about 320 people.. most were more contained. .. like 150-200 people. we had bands, fires, car chases (really).. lobsters.. and sooooo much fun.. Looking for a few examples back in my blog

Sunday night – nice sized party
