In which Santa Jim celebrates a "round number" birthday and...PARTY!
Santa Jim wasn't sure he wanted to celebrate this birthday.
Then, we started talking about a party.
And hey: we do like to party.
It's been raining all week, but we know better: when we have a party, the sun comes out and gets HOT. So we filled up the SS Grog with cold-cold-cold well water for people to dip feet into.
The invitation said that well-behaved dogs were welcome, and people brought lots of lovely dogs--including Kim and John's two shelties. I counted two dogs named Jasmine (a sheltie and a Min-Pin), two dogs named Lucy (a black dog and a yellow dog), plus our own floofs.
Tours of the garden were in high demand.
We enjoyed food and friends all afternoon.
And of course, the Dragon was happy to show off her tricks for all the visitors.
Thanks for joining us, everyone!
