"Hmm, beer!"
Rain did not dampen the fun at Rhonda's bonfire and beer tasting party. Sure there was no fire; by the end of the night it was "raining cats and dogs", but everyone had a great time. She has an out-building perfect for casual parties.
To keep us from floating away on all the beer, Rhonda fed us hot dogs, chips, and pie! Most of us preferred the wheat beers, but there were some nice darker blends too. (Frankly, I don't know anything about beer. I drink Michelob Light.) It was an education.
Rhonda graciously granted tours of her completely remodeled - and I have to say absolutely gorgeous - farm house. It is like walking into a living museum or your maiden aunt's home a hundred or more years ago. Brimming with antiques, it is indescribable! She could sell tours.
Consensus was overwhelming that having significant others join us occasionally is a good idea. Cindy decided to invite them back for the wine tasting party in October. It wasn't just husbands; Cara brought her baby boy, Rhonda's dog and cat joined us for much of the night, and a tree frog took up residence on the outside of the windowed door. His visit invited a great deal of interest all around.
