Trip’s 60th Solstice Birthday Party

In which our friend, Trip hosts a weekend party with camping and everything in his kingdom of delights – June 23, 2017

 

A WELCOMING PLACE

 

This was our first time here and we arrived at Golden Hour to find a warm house surrounded by cool lawn populated with dogs and cats.

 

KITCHEN DOOR

 

A black cat splashed with white accents positioned itself on the step outside the kitchen door, oblivious to party foot traffic. Most of the guests hesitated before stepping over the supine animal, many carrying food offerings, heavy bowls, precariously loaded trays, and even coolers.

 

SWIMMING HOLE

 

Jay and Bob jumped into the pond, Bob with his signature can-opener dive, then settled on the deck for a long chat.

 

FIRE RING

Everything is landscaped with intention, including the fire ring.

 

SEATING

  

Welcoming seating areas beckon from every corner of the yard. Guest feasted on summer fruits and salads. The dogs waited patiently for fall out.

 

KIDS

Shucks. Neither Camille nor Trip feel or behave like sexagenarians.
