Today's SMAC meeting at our house was just so much fun ! It was great to see some faces that I haven't seen in over a year. And to spend some time catching up.
But this day would not have gone as smooth as it did without help from some very special people.
First and for most... Ernie and Linda- What can I say, the two of you are just such amazing people, you were here to help at 10am this morning.
Ernie, your help with so much stuff...getting ice, putting up the canopy, setting up tables and chairs, helping grumpy get his table set up, helping me with the smoker, your meat cutting skills, then taking the tent down, putting all the tables and chairs away and helping grumpy break down his table. I am sure there was so much more that you did today that I was not aware of. I just want you to know that I appreciated everything that you did today and I am lucky to call you my friend.
Linda....you are my kitchen mama ! You helped me so much more than you know today. From helping with the canopy and chairs, taking care of the brownies, putting out food, and then helping to clean everything up. You saved me with just washing the big ole chili pot ( that thing was pretty gnarly after cooking for hours). Then taking care of bottles and doing the recycleables. Linda you are a very special lady with a heart of gold who is always willing to help, and I need you to know that I would not have made it though today without your help. Thank you !
Pete......I think that everyone had a better time because you came. You always have a smile on your face that is contagious. I will say that the "roof ornament" was really cool ! It was great that you came and then to bring the big canopy was even better. Your help in setting up and taking down was invaluable, especially since you brought the canopy which was a big puzzle. I know that it was a very long ride for you, and I hope that you had a great time !
Dave and Gloria....First off it was great seeing and catching up with you. But most of all thank you for helping clean up. Gloria, thank you for working with Linda to get all the beer bottles taken care of, and condensing the coolers. Both of you stayed to help us take down the canopy and put all the tables and chairs away. Thank you so much !
There were so many others that helped, Andyman, Kegger, 313guy, and I know I could never remember everyone else. But you know who you are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who helped make this just an amazing day.....
