Almost ready for the dance. Need to empty out the extra junk and use the shop vac.

Lots to celebrate this year.  We had a new baby in the family.  Congratulations to Peter and Frenchy who were blessed with a little girl, Josie June.  Looking forward to Jessi and Lukes new baby that will arrive the end of this month!

We’ve never had a barn dance this “late” in the summer so it should be interesting how it turns out.  There will be plenty of live music with most of our kids involved.  Frenchy and Jessi, will be doing a few songs each if their little ones cooperate 🙂  Clayton will be singing several songs including a song he recently wrote.  He had to come out to our farm to practice at night after putting in a very long day of horse training.

Evening practice on the hay rack!

I’ve been practicing a few new ideas for pot luck snacks and finger food that everyone brings.  I made my usual White Pizza already…… and tried a few new items which I can’t actually make till tomorrow morning. See photo below of samples I tested out on the family.  They are pepperoni jalapeno wraps, meatballs in a blanket and jalapeno hotdog tidbits.  The favorite so far were the meatballs.

Pot luck snacks I am working on.

HAPPY 4 th Year Anniversary to Peter and Francesca today!  I can’t believe how quickly the years have flown by.  Life is good by golly and I hope everyone feels the same way about it.
