Just another quiet afternoon....or not

Last night John, Reid, Chandler and Ron got back after a few days of fishing in the Bahamas. They had a good trip and caught numerous fish. Well...the plan was to clean them today after watching the Gator game.
But the word got out and news travels fast
and before we knew it...here's what the street looked like.( One minute Amy ran to the store for some cooking oil...when she returned...she had to find a place to park.)
And so...our quiet afternoon...turned into a little party. I managed to use up get rid of the last of my Christmas cookies...along with the fish and macaroni and cheese and cole slaw.
Most of the guys brought their own beer...we had plenty of fish and a variety of sauces. John and Chandler cleaned the boat...Ron cleaned the fish, Ben fried it up...and Mike stopped by and seared some of the wahoo until the grill ran out of gas!
We all celebrated the fact the the Gators went out on a winning note, it was a beautiful afternoon that slowly started getting cold...and we all chatted, ate and drank.
I guess this was my Happy New Year!...just a couple of days late. :)
