The big retirement party for Jim and Ginger was a faboo success. Fifty-nine people sitting down for dinner, full-blown Swedish smorgesborrd, good times, good food, good drink, more plates and glassware to wash than you could (very carefully) wave a stick at. Great party.
And the final tally of bottles presented as gifts: 12. That includes 1 port and 1 champagne (in case folks decide to quibble).
And … back home. Yay!
Woot and Huzzah!
