My favorite part of the party is usually the day after the party, waking up
with a house full of friends, walking down the boardwalk to the bakery for bagel sandwiches, spending the day swimming, jet skiing, eating leftovers, picking crabs. You reminisce about twelve hours ago and twelve years ago, and you take a deep
breath a you enjoy this sweet gift.
I am grateful for many things in this life, not the least of which is my family. My parents have always welcomed my friends, and they let us invade the shade of their deck, and use up all the propane grilling up burgers and hot dogs. They hold my babies, make cheese
sandwiches for my kids, and laugh with my friends.
haha, sometimes i grow wearisome the day after the party...ready for clean up and wind down. i need to adopt your attitude and fully enjoy the moment! it's so true...reminiscing about 12 hours ago is such a secret party delight :)
ReplyDeleteweirdly, i dreamed about you guys last night. we were all just hanging out, holding each other's babies, talking. you were kissing your husband and everyone was having fun and being flirty and fabulous. haha!
I think that might be a sign you need an Ocracoke trip in your future and we can make all those dreams a reality. I think all those things would be pretty fantastic.
DeleteI have to agree with you! The best part is waking up in the morning and realizing the party continues into the day. x

DeleteOh man, you guys have the best life. And... I need to move back to Maryland. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteYou know what Southern Maryland lacks? A book on the food scene.
DeleteThat might be because it lacks a food scene, but maybe you can fix that too.
