PAINTING JOB THANK YOU CAKE

When Rich finished painting our house in April (click here and here), I told him we would definitely need to have his family over for a barbecue once summer came. Well, summer came and Rich and his family came over today for a thank-you-for-painting-our-house barbecue along with a thank-you-for-painting-our-house cake.

We all sat in the shade, fellowshipping as the marinated chicken breasts and the corn-on-the-cob cooked on the grill. Debra had prepared a great meal including coconut rice, raspberry iced tea, and the aforementioned chicken and corn.

After we ate and before we presented Rich with his cake, we all competed in a friendly game of washers. When the outside heat got too hot, we sat around the dining table in air conditioned comfort and laughed and yelled our way through an intense game of Mad Gab.

Then Rich and his family went home, taking the remainder of his cake with them.

Rich and Matthew teamed up, and Rich took his turn at tossing washers as Hannah, Debra and Kim looked on and as Ashley didn't look on. Can you find the flying washers in all these washer toss photos? (Enlarging by clicking photo may help).

Kim and Hannah teamed up and Kim took her turn.

Then she took another turn.

Rich tosses again as teammate, Matthew, awaits his turn.

Debra tosses as Matthew, Ashley and Rich observe.

Ashley's turn.

Hannah tosses a washer, which is a bit challenging to see in this photo. But it is visible.

Matthew, Rich, Kim, Hannah and one painting job thank you cake.
