Party time again

The second Saturday in October means it's party time again...Mike R's party that is...this was the 14th annual October birthday bash.
As always...there was LOTS of great food, drinks, music and fun. His gumbo...chock full of shrimp, crab, lobster and fresh fish...and rice and hot sauce on the side. as soon as it's ready...the line forms and two big soup pots are gone before you know it.
Plenty of salads, meats(good turkey! pork and beef) and a table full of desserts. No one went home hungry that's for sure.
Outside the lights in the trees were on, Mike's new deck was a great place to sit and watch the goings on and everyone was enjoying a nice mid October night. Actually we thought it was going to be cooler...but it was very comfortable. Friends, family, neighbors, co-workers...everyone was there.
John however was NOT there...he was up in Alabama with Brenna. Flew in to Huntsville Thursday and they drove down to Tuscaloosa for the game. Meanwhile back in Indialantic...someone noticed the TV was not on and said"Hey...just because John's not here doesn't mean the rest of us can't turn on the TV and watch football!" haha--usually John is in there making sure we can keep up with the game(s). There were Gators, Seminoles, Buckeyes, BAMA fans, Phillies fans....and one kid in charge of changing the channels for us so we could all keep track of all the scores!


Ouside under the Gumbo Limbo tree...people were talking, laughing and listening to music. The kids...as usual had a blast running around.
Finally a little bit of dancing...and I left to go home at 2:15 am! Actually talked to John and Brenna who were on their way home from the game in AL...they had planned to stay the night...then decided they would head back to Brenna's and get ready for their fish fry Sunday.
