Tonight Ken and I hosted a casual barbecue at our home for our friends joining us on our upcoming cruise to meet one another. It was a sizzling hot night so we quaffed sangria and white wine while we played part of a round of croquet in the shade prior to dinner. I’m pretty sure I was ahead when we had to stop for dinner!!
There will be 10 couples in our group on the Seabourn Odyssey Dalmatian Coast cruise and all attended the party this evening except Charlie & Nancy Hogan, Denny Dochnahl who was doing Nascar driving in Florida and Debi Giannola who was in Las Vegas completing a 6 week linguistics class.
In the top photo above, somehow we missed including Bernie Dochnahl in the group photo though she was with us. Also joining us for dinner but not pictured in the group photo was new Banner Bank President and CEO, Mark Grescovich who has recently moved here from Cleveland.

Over barbecued ribs and chicken, potato salad, baked beans, roasted corn salad and berry crisp, we shared stories of some of our favorite trips of the past. The Hotel Negresco in Nice figured heavily in the conversation as a favorite place many of our group had stayed. Hearing the stories from each person really brought back a rush of fun memories from previous trips for everybody!
Now, we can’t wait for the cruise!
