Pre-Cruise Party at Barbara & Ed's

.

Our hosts for the day, Barbara & Ed. Thirty of Ed's friends are taking this cruise to Alaska to celebrate his 70th birthday that was on July 27th, (the same day as Heather's). We couldn't have had a more perfect day for the party, but that's a pretty safe bet in Southern California in the summer! On the other hand, we've been hearing reports of cold, rainy weather in the area where we'll be cruising. I picked up a couple novels at the library yesterday, so in the worst case, I can enjoy both cruising and reading!

The bartender was kept busy pouring glasses of Navy Grog for everyone.

Aubrey and Nancy...haven't seen them in a long while. They moved a way south of here and travel constantly. Aubrey is going to take everyone's photos and make them into a DVD for us after the trip, complete with music.

This was taken early in the party. Not long after, the table was laden with delicious finger foods!
