The Night Before the Night Before

Family

It’s become tradition to gather on the deck on the days leading up to Deck Day. Tonight twelve of us gathered for a dinner on the deck. We sampled some of the menu offerings for Deck Day and a few special items like the Caprese Salad and the decadent flourless chocolate cake that Lou and Peggy brought. And then there was the Wine Zinfadel tasting. The overall order of preference was Beringer, Biltmore, and Sutter Home. Then as we were cleaning up, one more party goer arrived. We are now thirteen. At least four more out of towners are expected to arrive over the next two days. It’s a party!
