Sunday was all about families and birthday celebrations. A little after noon everyone started arriving and the party began. Adults talked while the New York cousins played in the basement. It snowed big “hominy” flakes earlier and we built a snowman with the super wet snow harvested from the tops of the hot tub, tables, chairs and pillows. The snowman stared at us in the warm cozy house. Another epic food spread was prepared by Julie. We had appetizers of various dried Italian salamis, dried figs, cheese, crackers, olives, and other tempting bites. At the request of Vinny the big birthday feast consisted of Caesar salad, Rotella pasta, and garlic chicken. The chocolate cakes were pure homemade decadence one of which could be a contestant on the “Is it cake?” show. Vinny’s cake was shaped like a Nintendo Switch 2 controller while Diane’s was round.
All the guests left and we were back to our usual routine as we built puzzles, played darts, Scrabble, had a Paka Battle, did some light block building and the associated destruction thereof, played several hands of solitaire, watched “Is it cake”, played darts, played pool and read books before bedtime.
And it was morning and evening the third day!
