Spring is sprung and so am I

Well- off they have gone into the night. The First day of Spring meeting of Cosmic Spatula is accomplished, and I am left with these things: the warm glow of good friends; dish pan hands (they must have used 6 glasses each); two bags containing plastic wear and clothing, an empty pint jar- Ian?; a pepper mill and cheese grater along with some cheese- Bob?; a towel-Barb?. Looks like Rita wins the prize for taking home everything she came with. Oh wait- is that Fred under the table? The dancing must have done him in. Seriously guys. Thanks for a good time. And Bob and Vera- I will NEVER forget the great surprise of getting the flowers. Hope everyone is home safely and that the "Bayou Blast" sits well even if it was a little late- blame Emeril. Night Night. Hey- we never did decide when we were going to descend on Rita.
