Beach Party in November?

Beach partiers

Last Saturday (Nov. 26th). I went to a beach party, Holland style. Yes, of course they have beaches in Holland, the land of water. But its about 40 degrees outside, not exactly time to pull out the bikini and work on your tan. A co-worker of Rob’s rented a warehouse, and had sand trucked into the warehouse. He rented palm trees, a volleyball court, a drink-cabaƱa and a hammock, and most important, heat lamps!. They had a DJ playing, and beach volleyball going. So, digging to the bottom of my boxes, I dug out some Cali-style sun gear and went partying. Well, California with a bit of Holland winter…I had tights on under the shorts, and my winter coat over the tank top, but hey, it was a beach party!

The next day we celebrated Rob’s parents’ 38th wedding anniversary. First we went to a petting zoo so baby Quinten could pet a little goat that was almost as big as he was. After that, I went with him on the swings to work up an appetite. After an intense swing session, we ate dinner at a nice Italian restaurant and wished Jan/Nettie a very happy 38th anniversary. They then went on a 3 day trip to Germany to celebrate (but for some odd reason did not take us with them, gee, wonder why?)

At the end of the evening, Quinten felt we all had too much celebratory wine and said he'd drive us home.
