And Yet Another Picnic
Hi hi, MMMlogerinos!
A COMPANY PICNIC
The DH's employer threw a huge party yesterday at a farm in North Bend, WA that has been converted to host huge events. It started at noon and as usual mid-July in the Pacific Northwest the weather was sunny and warm. When the sun comes out the clothes come off of Seattleites and the mass of white flesh is blinding! Over 2000 people turned out in shorts and tank tops, a few hats but lots of sunglasses. The announcer kept telling people that there was every kind of sunscreen at the first aid station, but few, that I saw, availed their cream-going-red-colored selves of the opportunity not to burn and blister. The DH and I did, though, because we drove topless Red Therapy so had a jump on all that UV.
There must have been twenty food booths set up that offered everything from hamburgers and hotdogs, ceasar salads, barbequed salmon, strawberry shortcake, several kinds of chicken, curry, vegetarian burgers, ice cream--all kinds of picnic fare. Yummy!
The kazillion kids had a great time at all the innovative kid fun stuff like a Kid Wash that looked like a car wish complete with swishy brushes and spraying water that the kids ran through. The only airplane type "ride" was a huge inflated 747 that swallowed kids from the nose that had big red lips and dumped them out the tail. It was hilarious to watch the kids disappear into the airplane's mouth and scream for effect then tumble out the backend. Haven't you just felt like that during some of your travels?!
And so the summer rolls on. We're off for Reno next Wednesday for RWA national convention.
Ciao, ciao, mmmmmmmmmmelinda
