loading Barb M's quilt, Sue & Charlie arrive, Paula & Doug for dinner

We slept in just a bit on Sunday (6/24) before Michael ran to the grocery store and I continued to get a few things done around the house.  After breakfast he harvested…..food:  

and flowers for the guest bedroom:  

By NOON we were all done with breakfast and chores and I headed to the studio to load up another customer quilt, 

while Michael was on his computer, and Cookie was snoozing:  

We worked downstairs for a bit before Sue & Charlie arrived around 3 PM:  

After that it was talking, talking, talking and getting ready for dinner:  

the cajun triumvirate:onions/peppers/celery

sausage

rice

garden tomatoes

the puff pastry tart

Paula & Doug arrived at 6 PM and she brought along THE MOST GORGEOUS batik jelly rolls that she scored at JOANNs:

We sat in the living room talking for a bit 

and Paula made a new friend:

Eventually we sat down to a modified Jambalaya:

puff pastry caramelized onion, goat cheese and tomato tart, 

and cole slaw.  We played TRIPOLI after that, 

stopping only for ice box cake and to sing Happy Birthday to Sue.  I think it was a wonderful evening and after enjoying the lanair for a bit after Paula & Doug left, and reading for a bit, we all headed to bed.
