Hoagies and More Hoagies

Early dinner - or late lunch - was simple this year.  Hoagies - ham, turkey and Italian, cole slaw, pasta salad, and fruit.  I think we all ate so many goodies before that we weren't really hungry.

Nancy made all the centerpieces.  One chair was marked at each table - the person sitting in that chair got to take a centerpiece home.

After we ate, we did a 50/50 to help with the expenses.  Ray Roberts, the winner last year, picked the winning ticket.  Sandy Granato went home $80 richer!

Howard is patiently waiting, Sam is helping Sally get some fruit, while Lynda can't seem to make up her mind

It looks like Doris is reading tea leaves - in a cup of water - for Lynda

Nancy, you look guilty.  Jean and Harvey seem to be enjoying themselves.

Carole, Stew, Denny, Bonnie, and Robin.  And Jimmy in the back snitching something from the food table.

Allan and Joan look happy

Carole and Stew - so cute!

Karen and Susan  - why the serious faces?

Karen thinks she has a winning ticket. What do you think, Sam?

What is a party without a cake?

After all the eating, it was time to clean up.  Many thanks to those who helped in the kitchen.  We packed up bags of leftovers for everyone to take home.

Bonnie is washing dishes in the back, while Nancy wraps and Sandy just stares at all the food!

John is busy dishing up the pasta salad, Nancy is still wrapping while I'm tearing pulling out storage bags.  Sandy is still amazed at the amount of food left over.

Now I get it - Sandy is supervising while John does all the work! Smart move, Sandy!

There was a little bit left in the wine bottle.  Can't let it go to waste!

Don't judge!
