Summertime & Friends

Susan Neumann and Joyce McCallum
Ken and I have so enjoyed getting caught up with some of our family and friends this summer, though it seems like we never have time to see everyone that we care about.
Last weekend we so enjoyed going to the Neumann home for cocktail and hors d'oeuvres prior to a casual dinner at the Seattle Yacht ClubSusan and Gary invited Joyce & Doug McCallum and Ken and me to come and celebrate both Joyce's and Ken's birthdays.  And there were even gifts!

Doug McCallum and Gary Neumann
One of Ken's gifts was a kitchen tool specifically used for beheading a soft-cooked egg.  It is quite a marvel of engineering and makes a huge bang when it does the job.  We couldn't wait to try it the next morning.  And Joyce received a beautiful oversize hammered stainless steel spoon that both Susan and I coveted.

The next night we saw a few more friends at a casual barbecue including Sarah Rindlaub, home from Hong Kong for a few weeks, Betty Tong & Joe Miner, Debi & Len Giannola, Diane & Dick Foreman, Michael & Peggy Swistak, Patti Payne, Trudi & Dave Syferd, Toni & Rod Hoffman, Diane & Gordon Kuenster, Barb & Dale Rasmussen, Carole Ellison, Sandi & Tim Premselaar, Delphine & Charles Stevens, Esther & Walter Schoenfeld, and others who were happy to just kick back for a relaxed evening of food and friends.
