Now that the stage is set (see yesterday’s post) let’s check out the guests and festivities.
.
.
Santa made numerous appearances.
.
.
And I shared another version of my mankini Santa with this young man who was brave enough to wear it.
.
.
Wine flowed freely.
.
.
Though some guests didn’t approve of our edible flower embellishments.
.
.
This young lady landed herself a new beau. Pre Med and good looking… her father approves. 👍
.
.
Drinks were consumed on the deck, and goat entertainment was enjoyed.
.
.
Eventually the party moved to the pool area.
.
.
And food was enjoyed among Christmas trees and lobster pool floaties.
.
.
Extra food was turned into art.
.
.
(Art being in the eye of the beholder and better appreciated when you’ve been drinking all afternoon.)
To be continued…
.
River's world..... 
“Freely” is the best kind of flowing when it comes to wine.

And gin. And vodka. And tequila. Or maybe that’s just me….

We did it once in may when our niece came how from New Zealand. It was great fun. Mind you it rained all day….

Those goats are too cute!! They stood there waiting to see what else was going to come out of the side door. I like those edible flowers in your wine….looks like you had a pretty darn good time!

The goats were sweeties, very entertaining. Although that could have been the wine…

I think there is more fun to be had in summer.

Unless you’re menopausal and hot flashing like me. Then, there’s a lot to be said for sub zero temps.

That’s why I like the outdoors, but then again I bet our summer is much cooler than yours. In the winter, they have the heating turned up and it is too hot when everyone piles inside.
My family have a big summer get together in Snowdonia on one of the farms. We have a sort of sports day for adults and little ones to join in and everyone takes lots of food along. We often have a treasure hunt too. We did not have it in 2020 or 2021, making do with smaller family get togethers, but we are all longing for 2022.

This was the first get together we’ve been to. Granted it was only 14 people, but after the past year? It felt like a huge crowd.

I see Santa was the only one wearing a ‘mask’ — and even so, his nose wasn’t covered. I don’t mean to be a party pooper, but they say even vaccinated people can catch the Delta variant and pass the virus on to others. And now I shall take leave before I get booed off the blog!

True. But we were all fully vaccinated and spent 98% of the day outside. Add to that the fact 80% of Mainers are protected… and we felt comfortable.
