Independence Day Eve barbecue (because isn't it the All-American thing to do?)

Francis and Kim are wonderful hosts, and tonight's crowd was a terrific mix of library and non-library people. I hope any of them whose names I bludgeon will forgive the errors.

In the meantime, some photos from an evening replete with food and a few glasses of pink wines for me! Pia and Conrad, catching up. Pia and I have a deep deep friendship. Don't tell the other Circ Managers, or Conrad.

Photo temporarily removed

Courtney's sister Chelsea came to town. CG2 visiting CG. So great to see her - she's such a fun, witty, and gorgeous woman. And, she's a newly minted IU grad!
Other guests included Kim and Arek...
...Heather, Arek's wife and a DePaul librarian...
...CG herself in a beautiful dress the colour of a deep rose wine (much like the Argentine one she found for us to enjoy again) along with Eric...
...Mora and LaDonna (with Arek)...
... (and here's where I draw an unfortunate blank, but I think it's) Eileen and John...
...also four dogs, two shown here: Ellie (Chelsea's dog, a coquette if ever there was one, and proud owner of the Davis Bootie)...
...and Milo. Gay. Gay. Gay. Gay. Gay.
I have been summoned to bed! Enjoy the holiday everyone, and I hope y'all observed Canada Day this past Saturday!

The names are Erin and Maura. Also Milo is sooo not gay. He was out to prove it last night.

:wq fxk

Darn it! I need to remember names better!

As for Milo, well, I'd say he goes either way, but I think he was doing it as a ploy to make Sunny jealous....

Observe Canada Day - of course - in the only way possible, with food and drink! :)

And how was your Canada Day, Brenda? And why aren't you blogging it here?

My Canada Day weekend...

Saturday was a "me" day, with a trip to the pool. Sunday and Monday were spent entertaining a friend from BC. It was a great time! I hadn't seen him since I visited BC a number of years ago, with Allison, and it was really good to chat with him again :) He's in Nova Scotia now, visiting other friends. Believe it or not, I miss him!
