The Safari Party

Last night Ken and I went to a Safari Party at Rockwood Farms in the shadow of Mount Si hosted by long-time friends, Sharon & Jay BallantineSharon and Jay are big game hunters and were celebrating the recent return of Sharon’s beautiful lioness from the taxidermist.  See top photos of Sharon and her lioness along with Steve Kutz and along with me.  The guests got into the spirit of the party, many of the women wearing animal prints and the men safari shirts.
We saw several mutual friends at the party including Pam & Mike Towers, Heather & Michael Sandoval, Robin Gainey, Deborah Juarez, Jim Rose, Steve Kutz, Courtney Womack, Ernie Pino and others.  Mike Towers, Jim Rose and Ken enjoyed talking wine and travel (see bottom photo).  We all enjoyed fantastic stories about the Towers’ experiences when they went to base camp at Mount Everest and surrounding adventures.  The hotel accommodations sounded a little too rustic for my taste however! 
We were so pleased to see all three Streissguth children home that evening and helping serve the guests; Dustin who is now a Sophomore in High School, Raven who is a Sophomore in college and Brittany who is in her final few months as a Senior in college.  They are all so impressive and I’m sure make their family very proud.
