The Party's Over

Our annual Progressive Dinner Party has come and gone. The whole week flew by, and I'm behind in Blips again. 
We hosted the first course this year: appetizers, and feared the worst since it was forecast to be in the mid to high 90s and our back yard has no shade at 5 pm in July, and 15 or so people inside our house wasn't going to be comfortable for very long, so we borrowed a big blue tent to put up in the yard, but didn't need it. It clouded up and wasn't nearly as hot as feared. I think the clouds were actually smoke from the fires.
