Summer time means picnics!
Aug. 22nd, 2004 07:15 pmOkay, I've decided that when I read a book journalled on BC, I'll just link to the entries there, rather than put the whole megillah here.

A Funny Time to Be Gay, Ed Karvoski, Jr. (Ed.)
Other stuff
I ate too much at the CHB picnic. I brought a nice, sensible marinated chicken breast to grill. But couldn't pass up the pasta salad, a nice rice salad, chips and salsa, etc. Not to mention several excellent desserts. I went easy on the liquor, however; I did not partake of the mojitas. I did not, however, exercise self-control when we did the swap. I gave away all the paper, fabric, headband silk, and glitter glue pens I broughht. But came away with lots more paper, a couple of brushes, a paper knife, not to mention a couple of lovely dishes! B. had a bunch of old-fashioned china of her mother's and aunt's that she was giving away! So I now have a nice Depression glass cake plate, and two English china dessert plates in an Oriental blue-and-white pattern with a touch of color. It was a very nice picnic; a good number of people showed, and the weather was perfect. B.'s garden, as usual, was lovely. We did have to contend with the tail end of the Air & Water Show noise, but it wasn't too bad, and ended around 4:00.
