Super Heroes Running Wild at the Cabin
August 21st, 2008I’m expecting Spiderman, Wonder Woman, Popeye and Olive Oil for potluck dinner on Saturday night. Batman and the Hulk may also show up. It’s our annual year-end summer bash at the lake and we usually go out with a bang.
This year’s theme, “Super Heroes,” promises to be an interesting night. I’ve learned since we first bought our cabin, that the cottagers take this event very seriously. We failed to dress up for our inaugural party, “Mexican night” and were put to great shame with our lack of effort. We’ve since made up for it.
Two years ago, I was Julia Roberts and Jackie Chan was my date, as we celebrated a night at the Oscars - see above photo. Yes, we’re standing on a red carpet.
The evening commences with an extended happy hour followed by an amazing potluck dinner. After that, and of course some libations, things get really interesting. We’ve an added surprise for this year’s party where the super heroes will have to perform. That’s all I’m saying, but look for the photos on Monday.
Part of the hosts’ job is to also come up with some prizes. Our goal was to keep them under $2 - something we managed to do thanks to the Superstore. With all the details neatly tucked away, we are now scrambling to get our own costumes together - this is proving the hardest part.
Any suggestions???
Cheers,
Julie

Where did the summer go???? The baby bears fly back Thursday. We get one last kick at the cat at the lake starting tomorrow night until Thursday and then we’re pulling the boat lift out of the water and bringing the boat home. The pages on the daytimer used to fly by and now the pages on the calender are flying by.

Oh I hear you. We’re into the last days of the summer. Unfortunately, our weather has turned cold and rainy so we are camped at home in front of the T.V. I’ve run out of steam.
Have a great time at the cabin.
Cheers,
Jules
