A Taste of Texas (and then some)

Russ and Rita Peterman invited the neighborhood over to their house last Saturday evening for a some brisket (Russ' specialty) and other foods. It was a themed Texas party where most everyone had their cowboy (or farmer -- you know who you are!) hat on. Rita even gave out special gifts to those who came in with their hat. Isn't that nice.

Everyone had a tour of their two homes. It was quite impressive considering all the hands on work they've put in themselves. They sure have a lot of patience. The big house was also lit up all over with Rita's PartyLite candles that had some of us sniffing different scents and getting high on vanilla the whole evening. Make sure to check out some of her very cute candles and accessories.

And to top it all off, they had a little auction of candles, a snow globe, Larry's book, etc. that benefited the SPCA, their charity of choice.

Thanks again for the party, RnR! We all had a good time. Good to see Sara visiting too. And Ben resurrected.
