@rdlr....what a gorgeous place. How exciting you have get togethers at your place.
Thank you, rural chick!
Most all of our parties are for people in our town - not relatives, but those being closest to us in many ways. It's small town living, with less than 1,400 people living here.
Have you ever had trouble finding a suitable place for some kind of function? Maybe it's a party, a family reunion, even perhaps for your wedding?
Tell us your stories, because I'm nosy and love to hear them .
The POTD is;
Where shall we have that event?
Good peeve, Jeezer. Yes, it's sometimes difficult to find the right venue for an event. Most are way too big for any event I'd be putting on, and the smaller venues are too small. Some places are too formal and some too casual. It's hard to find a happy medium!

I was the emcee for a speech contest years ago. The club who arranged the location forget to check out one little thing:
It was in a hotel assembly room that was divided in half by a long accordion door.
So off we go with the contest and suddenly there was noise from the microphone in the adjoining room.
"This bull, ladies and gentlemen, is a proven stud." That kind of thing went on and on while our poor contestants were trying to give their speeches. It continued throughout our speech contest. It turned out that a cattle auction was going on in the room on the other side of the accordion door from us. A big screen TV had videos of the cattle and an auctioneer was selling the cattle. Only in Texas.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.

Where shall we have that event?
Seems to be a ongoing issue for us as well. We are in charge of 4 yearly functions for the organization we belong too. Some functions are small, others are large. As funds are tight, it is always a problem finding a suitable venue to fit our needs.
Never a problem here, as our events are either in our postage-stamp front yard and on the front porch, or in our large back yard, during Spring, Summer and Fall. Giving Parties is my FAVORITE thing! I love inviting people, decorating, cooking, preparing, serving, and watching our guests enjoy themselves. Sit still, relax, enjoy, and I will serve you! ...Let me take your empty plate....here's a clean one....more shrimp cocktail is on the way, hors d'oeuvres are toasting in the oven.....the bartender on the porch just churned up a fresh blender of frozen drinks...
I've always wanted to have a neighbor just like you. I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.......
Imagine how much fun it would be, especially on Halloween.

Absolutely beautiful, rdlr, both your party setup and your attitude, what a great neighbor you are! How lucky they are to have you in their 'hood!
