The guests of honor are Medea, Ian, Sean, and Laura.
Susan's grandchildren attended: Gaby, Annabelle, and Mia
The little ones had a rollicking good time,
including a concert (Ravel's "Bolero", top half) by Gaby,
who led the applause afterward.
The older kids played one of those diabolical board games (Trivial Pursuit?) that test your memory and cultural coolness. (Can any of us who were there forget Susan West blowing us all out of the farmhouse one rainy Saturday with her answers to questions like "What song is played before the start of the Preakness?" ("Maryland, My Maryland." But of course! Although most of us had not HEARD of the Preakness or even much about Maryland--and now I are living close to it and hanging out with a shirt-tail relative of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, a famed Maryland resident!)
Ufda! Family gatherings are sooo exhausting!
