Post-party happiness

[kate_schaefer]

We've just had a party. Everyone has gone home now. I think they all went home happy, but one can never tell. We, at any rate, are quite happy ourselves. All the champagne is gone, as is all the smoked salmon. The empty bottles and glasses will keep until morning, and the BBC world service will tell us quite enough news to get our teeth brushed and us into bed.

We've been married twenty years, just about. We're cheerful about the prospect of another twenty or forty. Thanks for all your friendly support, you all, and so to bed.

Yes, we left very happy to have attended your party, and catch up with folks.

Thank you for having it.

And your marriage to Glenn was one of the reasons we wanted to be married in your back yard. Yeah!

Oh, I'm glad you and Julie came. I wanted to look at Julie's pictures of Alaska, but I also wanted to wander around and do the host thang of never quite being a satisfactory part of any conversation, so I did that instead. I hope there is another opportunity to see the pictures.

Oh, sleep now. Sleep sleep sleep. Why are you still up, you silly person?

(And you can figure out which of us is the silly person... or both...)

I'm glad to hear that you guys went to the party, Luke. Does that mean that maybe you and Julie would like to help us plan this year's Halloween party, like we did last year? Andy has said, barring an act of God, we could plan on having it at their place. It would be the regular 1st Saturday Vanguard gathering/Halloween party.

Yes, we're planning on it. We just haven't, you know, bothered to say so yet. ;>
