As for me, that was the best party I've ever been to, and also the best I've ever helped put on. I've had a lot of practice, and think by age 60 I'm honing in on what makes a fantastic party. Good food, of which there was tons, thanks to all who brought dishes. Lots of beer and wine don't hurt. Then add Zydeco Explosion and guests Jude Taylor and Murphy Richard from LA, all of my and Sue's best friends and closest family members...heaven on earth.

We wish we could walk into that barn anytime we wanted and feel the energy, love and good vibes that made this one the best party ever.
