Even though I was ready to pull out hair an hour beforehand, when I couldn't find our big thermos jug for cider... our ice skating party came together and I enjoyed it. We had 22 people, 16 of them skating. 13 adults and 9 kids was a good balance, too.

Kudos to

cyan_blue for helping at the door, to

tenacious_snail for bringing supplies and particularly to

patgreene for her hours spent baking and running errands. :) I felt loved and supported. And got to spend time with kids and friends and sweeties... helped some of the kids skate for the first time (Maddie and Sprout/David). And skated with Teri and Les and Geri and Kevin and David, and hung out with groups of friends, some of whom don't otherwise overlap much. Les said that I was practically glowing by the end, although that was probably just sweat ;).

Otherwise... today I test-fit and left in place the new stainless countertop in the kitchen...
