Aloha…
My thoughts last night after the last guest left:
The party was a lot of fun… and is now over…
And I’m tired… much more work setting up/taking stuff down than I remembered from the previous years…
Though several people did stay and help me clean up and put chairs and tables away…
I know my guests had a good time… because most of them said to me as they left: “you are going to invite us again next year… right !”…
The dishes that people brought to share… were both creative… and plentiful… though not a lot of left overs…
Several bottles of nice wine were opened and shared as well…
As I look back on yesterday’s get-together… I am once again reminded of just how fortunate I am… to have such nice friends…
I hope that you are enjoying this weekend… and that you enjoy the 4th as well…
Me ka pumehana…

Our holidays are quiet now. Life waves, I suppose.

Good friends like that truly are a blessing, and I have no doubt that they all view you that way as well.

OH... thank you... I do try to be a good friend also...

Was watching a "fly-over" on PBS (or one of those "educational" channels) and the show featured your state. I enjoyed seeing how beautiful it is. Got excited when they got to your city. Thought about your party and some of the things you have written on our shared blogs over the past, what?, 12, 13 years. And I smiled.

You mean you have no left overs in your refrigerator? Darn! I was hoping you had lots of wonderful food to eat with the upcoming week. I can only imagine the wide variety of food that was served. Did you have potato salad and deviled eggs? Two of my favorites.
Maui Jim Deleted user ⋅ July 04, 2016
Three people made/brought deviled eggs... but no potato salads... lots of other salads and pasta dishes though...
Deleted user Maui Jim ⋅ July 04, 2016
Gotta love those pasta dishes. :)

Did you bbq your world famous Maui Jim chicken?
Maui Jim Deleted user ⋅ July 04, 2016
No... instead I did my infamous Maui Jim's Hawaiian style meatballs with sauce... (smiles)
Deleted user Maui Jim ⋅ July 04, 2016
Would you be willing to share your infamous Maui Jim's Hawaiian style meatballs (with sauce) recipe with us? Or are you keeping it under lock and key? If that's the case, I'm coming to your next 4th of July festivities so I can have some.
Maui Jim Deleted user ⋅ July 04, 2016
Hmmmm... I really don't give out my "secret" recipes... but perhaps in time I "might" make an exception with you... (or not)...

Happy 4th of July!

And to you as well...
Lots of noise here... lots of stuff being set off in town... and going to get a lot louder as the day turns to night...

Would have missed the potato salad. I'm not much of a pasta salad fan. But that would helped me not to over eat. Maybe. Glad you had a good turnout and they all enjoyed.

Thank you... yes... it was lots of fun...! (smiles)

Wine and good food with friends is a great way to spend the day.

Absolutely... even if I ate a little too much food... and perhaps... just perhaps... drank a little too much wine... (smiles)

You can never have too much wine. ;-)
