Hey Everybody - I had a great time at the TNT picnic in the Bennett Garden on Saturday. About 30 folks turned out for fajita's, salsa, arroz, frijoles, cascarones, and a piñata. Lee, James, Becky, Don, and Lindsey set up tables and decorations in the garden while Billy and I brought the drum grill down from Kinsolving. He and I took turns minding the chicken and pork fajitas while more food appeared with each guest that arrived - queso, a delicious corn and tomato salad, brownies, oatmeal spice cookies, and strawberries in a rich balsamic sauce. Fabulous stuff!It was great to see so many people show up to the event. I met a few folks for the first time; Derek, Peter, Amy, Sophia - I'm glad to have met you. Mike and Sandy both came down to the garden to visit with us. Quink and I introduced them to cascarones - a little confetti for good luck.

The garden was lovely this weekend - everything in bloom. When the fajitas came off the grill I found a place to sit under one of the big trees. I took a few minutes to eat and relax. Then it was game time...
Coye selected a branch on one of the big oaks and he and I used it to tie up the piñata. Everyone lined up (Ewan and Robert first) and took turns taking a blind swing at it. James and I managed the piñata and LD tied the blindfolds. When the piñata burst, Robert and Ewan led the charge to gather up the candy and James split the star into pieces which they used to carry away their loot.
