The laughter has subsided, and the all that's left is the swooshing of the dishwasher. Both Jilda and I look like street people tonight. Neither of us counted the number of people who came to the fish fry today, but it's safe to say there was a yard full of folks.
A dozen kids played games, chased dogs, gathered eggs, and explored the farm.
At the end of the day, this is what I know for sure: Doing gatherings of this size takes a lot of work, precise planning, exceptional networking, and a whole lot of fish.
If there were a theme today, it was joy. It will take a while to recover, but as I've said before, Fun Ain't Cheap.

Joy like that is wonderful. Glad you had such a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the fish were delicious (not to forget their Omega 3 oil that does a lot of good to the body).
ReplyDeleteGlad your fish fry gathering was so rewarding in terms of joy and fun.
Lovely to know it was a joyful occasion. We used to have fish fries in North Carolina.
