We really enjoyed the company of our friends and family:
Steve, Barb, Jimmy, Jim, Deb, Karen, Tim, Cindy and Tony.
Along with our daughters, Katie and Anne, and our sweet pooch, Kita!
(Kita even enjoyed some of Aunt Karen's taco dip!!)

Here's our backyard:
and Kita looking a little bit scared:
I am sending out well wishes and prayers to everyone on the east coast of the USA.
Please stay safe.
