Justin has hosted a party the last Saturday in January for the past twenty or thirty years. This year was no exception.
Our house looked fantastic. With all the renovations and upgrades, we were ready-enough.
Eloisa has been here cleaning for two days after granite installation. I never knew how messy tile removal was!
Tim and Janet introduced us to housekeeper extraordinaire Nancy and she is a godsend. She is from Kinchil and this girl is the real deal with regard to cleaning. She comes on Saturdays from 7 until 3 or 4 and oh, my goodness! Today was her first day so in addition to all the rest of the work, our house looked great!
I'd finished the chili yesterday so it had time to meld and mature. Yummy!!! At home, chocolate chip cookies go with chili so they can accompany the chili verde in Celestun too.
The band arrived and was set up and ready to go by about 7pm so that coincided with our guest arriving. I still had the heated rollers in my hair when Chris and Roger arrived. They had asked what to do about parking -- I told them to get here early and plan to stay late, so they did!
All in all, there were about 50 people. Somewhere in the middle, the electricity went out for the better part of two hours. Ok, we are in Celestun, time to eat. There were mountains of good food and plenty to drink. Thankfully the band stayed around so we could all enjoy the music after the electricity came back on.

Justin sang "Our Love is Here to Stay" and dedicated it to me.
