Our family party was on the second night at our son Hal and his beautiful wife Kathy's home. We had about 30 in attendance including spouses, grand kids, great grand child and a couple of girl friends. As usual the noise was loud but the loudness was created by everyone talking at the same time, the kids all running around, it was a beautiful noise. A noise of family togetherness, happiness and laughter. That kind of noise is always acceptable when you have (thank goodness) happy, healthy children.
Since almost everyone was there we couldn't talk behind anybody's back. Hal had wine flowing from his new decanter and I believe it had to be refilled a few times. The food, as usual was great. Hal made a tenderloin that was cooked to everyone's personal temperature. The latkes were so great that we ran out, which is a first. People were going back for seconds and thirds which is something not done in the past. The salad was outstanding and the cheescakes made by my wife Norma and Josh's girlfriend Rachel were unbelievably great.
People stayed longer than usual because everybody was having a good time. The kids were playing guitar hero in the basement as loud as the equipment would allow. My great grandson Connor attempted to play ping pong with his uncle Albert, who is over six feet tall but Connor had a great time smacking the ball. Gayle was challenging everyone to play basketball and a few others played cards. A great time was being enjoyed by all. When the noise got too loud, the adults all headed upstairs to get some ear relief.
